Hi Olav,

Keep them in stock, because outside in the sunlight (and I suppose the Ultra Violet) they disintegrate in less than a year! I used one as a Cement Mixer cover and was very disapointed when the top (where exposed to the light) fell to bits.

A coat of aluminium paint helps, and also cuts down heat buildup. Also works for the ubiquitous blue tarpaulins.

Best use I've heard of was someone who had a badger stuck in their outhouse. They trapped it into this bag, stuck a pole through the handles and carried it outside.

Better than the BBC's recommended strategy of shooting them 8-(

Using mine at the moment to take lawn clippings and hedge/shrub trimmings, brambles etc to the tip.

I'm not at all sure why women like men. We're argumentative, childish, unsociable and extremely unappealing naked. I'm quite grateful they do though.

Perhaps you could rent it out for the summer and collect in the autumn... :-) .andy

Hi

They struck me as making a really BIG beanbag, filled with loads of polystyrene packaging fed thru the shredder, plus those air pockets used for packing now.

Thanks for all the ideas. I didn't know they degraded in sunlight, not had them long enough yet.

I've used them for insulation under my camp trailer to keep wind from blowing under it, filling them with fiber glass insulation i had taken off a demolition site , filled them and pulled them under the trailer it works good and cheap to do, i would have skirted the trailer however it has details on the lower periphery that would make it difficult.
