Instructions for Filling: FILLING IDEAS: sand, beans, lentils, rice, kitty litter, aquarium pea gravel, gravel or river rock. Total Weight Needed: This varies based on indoor (like 8-10 lbs) or outdoor (? 20 lbs.). Some people use up a whole bag of play sand. For outdoor windy days, you can use more than one bag on a stand. Where to Buy Filling: HARDWARE STORE: Play sand, pea gravel, granite, river rock GROCERY STORE: Kitty litter (the cheap kind), beans, lentils, rice zip-loc bags :-) DEPARTMENT STORE: Play Sand, aquarium pea gravel PET STORE: Aquarium pea gravel BEACH: free sand To fill, measure your filling into quart zip-lock bags then pour into the opening. This will help you a) avoid the mess of trying to scoop directly into the opening b) help you balance both sides with equal quantities. Note: Some users even just put the whole ziploc inside. This sounds useful if you want to occasionally adjust the weight by removing or adding a bag. Variations: Some people just slip a 500ml water bottle into each side pocket. That sounds like a great on-the-go or ad-hoc idea. Other possibilities: Two cans of food. Weightlifting weights. 0 |
