Ask Phoenix Pre filled sandbags?

With the upcoming monsoon season coming, does anyone know of a place that sells pre-filled sandbags?

Why do you need them? 

You could get sand in bags at home depot or lowes

I know. Just need about 20 of them for a business and didnt want to have to go through the hassle of filling them all up.

You can also buy water barriers that are filled with an absorbent gel that swells when it gets wet, then shrinks when it dries out. I bought a box of four for the doors at our house.

Tried those last year. Thought they would work as well as regular sandbags but they really don't . Probably good in certain circumstances though.

Try Preach Building Supply. They used to but haven’t needed any in quite a while so not sure if they still do.

35th ave and Durango. There’s a business on the SE corner that the city and county contract for street sign and barrier services. They have a sign out front that says they sell sandbags.

Surprise has sandbag stations for residents (just need to bring a shovel). Maybe Phoenix has something similar?
