Abstract
A frame for holding a sandbag for facilitating the filling of a sandbag by one person. The frame has a generally rectangular support member which is held at an angle to the ground so that the top of the opening is higher than the bottom of the opening. The open end of a sandbag is inserted through the support member and folded back over it. Then sand can be easily shoveled into the open end of the sandbag preferably by resting the shovel on the bottom of the generally rectangular support member and merely lifting the handle. When the sandbag is full the top is removed from the generally rectangular support member and tied in a conventional manner and another bag is placed through the opening for filling.
