ZipLock bags for play-sand

[pool newby]

Help, I need to find two large zip lock type plastic bags to put the play sand bags in to weigh down my stairs. I don't remember throwing them away last year, but I must have since I can't find them.

Anybody know where I might find them ????

I think Walmart sells them.

Not sure how big you're talking about, but take a look at those "Space Bags" that you store clothing in and suction the air out of. We've got a bunch of them in different sizes and like them a lot.

I tried these large bags (among other things) to weigh down the stairs, but I kept getting sand in the pool. Somewhere in this forum there's a great suggestion using several PVC plumbing tubes filled with concrete and capped. This has worked great for me to weigh down the stairs.
