GoSports Sand Gel offers an innovative and superior alternative to traditional sandbags and water for stabilizing outdoor equipment bases. Just one pouch replaces up to 400 lbs of sand. Simply add fresh water to create a firm, stable gel that offers enhanced stability, with none of the mess or hassle of sand and water.

The gel solidifies once set, which means there’s no risk of leaks damaging indoor flooring or carpets.

  • Excellent stuff, does it what it promises
This stuff isn't exciting, but it really works well. So easy to use, and gives the weight you need for the umbrella base. Love this stuff, wish we'd found it years ago! Inexpensive and works as promised, what could be better!

  • Conceptually a good idea and in reality, seems to be a good idea as well!
I think overall this is a good/clever product. I don't like using water as a weighting mechanism for the base of equipment. Sand is truly a hassle and is messy. This is sort of like the combination of both. Its a small amount of material, and yet when you add water to it, it absorbs the water so it acts like a solid but with the convenience of water. I think all and all I'm pleased with it. I would buy it again. ... show more

  • (basketball) game changer!
We have had issues with keeping our basketball hoop up in the wind for years. We get horrible, gusting winds quite often and have even had one hoop completely and irreparably break by being pushed over in the wind. We have tried to keep the base full of water, but between evaporation and even when completely full it just wasn't heavy enough to be reliable. As a last ditch effort, short of spending almost $100 on sand, and after reading other reviews on this product I decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW - I'm impressed. Since putting it in the base about 2 weeks ago, we have had very high winds most of that time, with gusts over 30mph and it hasn't budged. It was extremely easy to put in, the directions were very clear and it took less than 10 minutes. I did go back the next day to top off the water level a little because I wasn't sure how much it would expand once mixed and wanted to leave enough space. ... show more

  • Great weighted sand for basketball hoops and other items that need weight to hold the items down
Definitely absorbs all the water and doubles in size and weight and this item works great for weighting down basketball 🏀 hoops and keeps them from getting blown over in high windy conditions! The only thing that sucks is you’ve gotta replace it like once every 4-5 years because it starts to disintegrate and soon there will not be enough to hold down the basketball hoop!! But other than that it’s a great product and works as described ... show more

  • Using to fill sand bags
I bought to fill sandbags to hold down my outdoor furniture on my 17th floor balcony. The empty sand bags came with ziplock plastic bags which I filled halfway with the gel powder and then topped with water. I put two ziplock bags in each sandbag and it seems to be working great so far.

  • Doesn’t work, unable to refund
Crap followed directions and was not even close to 400lbs used for a basket ball hoop the wind was able to spin it. Unable to get a refund because they want the item back but obviously I can’t get it out of the base. Only 1 star because I had to pick atleast 1

  • Worked great!
Set up basketball hoop and it was going to require minimum of 150lbs of sand. This worked great, quick to expand, our new basketball hoop in backyard is sturdily weighted down thanks to this product.

  • Lives up to the
My package came in a well sealed box with no tears or leaks. I had my handyman use this product in my large umbrella stand - 9'X12' Purple Leaf Cantilever Umbrella. My stand called for up to 300 lbs of sand or sand/water combo. He didn't need to use all the product in the pouch. He said it was very easy and the instructions were clear. He wasn't familiar with the product and was very very impressed. The stand certainly feels study and can't be moved. We haven't had any extremely windy days this month (maybe 11mph at most) with my umbrella open. No tipping or instability has been seen. Will see how the product holds up this fall to Ohio storms and up to 50mph winds. ... show more
