GardenMate pack of 4 large 272L garden waste bags (H76 cm, D67 cm)

Reusable? Strong? Durable? Sturdy? Tear-resistant??? I used these twice with dry garden waste. On the second use, when lifting them out of the car at the tip - all three tore. I complained to All mates and this was the response -Hello,thanks for you message. For us it looks like normal signs of use aftera few months. The garden bags are consumables on top of that with avery good value for money.If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact us again!We wish you a nice day!

I bought 1 pack of 3, then another, then another....I now have 16 of these waste bags.Really pleased with the overall value of these bags.With a large garden and lots of foliage and grass cuttings to dispose of, these bags are brilliant for collecting that waste.The quality is reasonable for the money. Having used each bag several times now a few have small holes, but that's primarily from oversized large twigs/branches being forced in them.The handles on the top and side of the bag are really useful, especially if you need to hold them or lift over the wall at your local ump/recycling centre.They are probably as large as most would need or want to use in a garden, big enough to get a lot in but small enough that you can still lift/move them.They deal with weight fairly well, in fact considering I probably overloaded a couple with soil etc, they are faring well.They come in a small package, which does mean feeding the provided plastic around the rim of the bag. This can be a bit of a fiddle and requires a bit of patience. 2 did snap as the plastic was a bit brittle, but I was able to still use them, although they are a little weaker.Would certainly buy more if I needed, as they represent good value for money.

I have been building a landscape gardening service from the ground up since April, and for the last couple of months I have gained many regular maintenance gigs and am booked weeks in advance. The work has come before the tools in my situation, and I have been struggling with a couple of old standard 120l council waste bags and a ton bulk bag. I have been tooling up as I progress, but I had neglected to spend anything on waste bags. After a lot of research I decided to give these bags a try. I bought 6, after calculating I could fit this many loaded bags into my car.When they arrived, promptly, I was immediately impressed by the quality, in particular of the stitching around the handles. I was delighted to find both top and bottom handles, the latter having turned out to be extremely useful. The bags come with a rigid plastic wire which you feel through hoops at the top, and this allows the bag to hold its shape and stay open, another fantastic feature. I've had these bags a couple of weeks now. I am completely confident in stating that these are one of the best things I have ever purchased. The amount of time and effort, and the amount of time saved without having to wrestle with a bag that wont stay open, or drag a bag around because the handles have all gone. Honestly I am using these bags extremely hard - they are all filled and emptied again approximately every other day - brambles, twigs, cut up trees, weeds, plants, turf, all sorts. They are consumable items, and I will eventually need to buy more to replace these, but I will absolutely be buying these bags again, probably in bulk next time. They are just the perfect size, shape, structure, and handle positioning. The emphasised PROFESSIONAL in the title is accurately describing this excellent product.

I bought a few of these last summer for my parents' larger than average garden that has about 4 large trees growing in the back and 1 in the front. Since using them extensively, I think everyone should own at least one of these, even if your garden isn't particularly large. They're reusable, fall apart at a much slower rate than your normal plastic garden bag (not at all if you pack them right), and they are huge (which is a bit of a gift and a curse).In terms of durability, I was filling mine up with large amounts of hedge cuttings, tree branches, grass and leaves. The bags held up great, except when my dad decided to put large, heavy sticks in the bags at angles that encouraged a bit of tearing along the bottom. In short, cutting wood down to reasonable sizes before putting it in will improve packing efficiency and discourage material tearing.The size is great, as long as you're able to a) carry the bags at capacity and b) fit a full bag in your vehicle.Overall, these bags deserve nothing less than 5 stars for their capacity and re-usability factor, which I love. I briefly had to go back to using those horrible little multi-pack plastic garden bags a few weeks ago and after the fifth one fell apart just from holding a bit of grass and moss, and I went and ordered another one of these.

Wow. These waste bags can hold a literal tonne of debris! In fact, I would say that is the only possible downside to them; you can easily overfill them. I found at a sensible amount of waste, the bags were both easy to move around, and did not shed one iota of rubbish in my car. I see comments saying that the bags are susceptible to sharp branches etc poking through the material. Well, I would counter that with my above argument, too; put sensibly small lengths of branch or roughage into the bags and you won't rip them.The bags each come with a rigid rubbery strip which you insert around the top edge of the bag, feeding in at one point and pushing around to near the starting point. I initially thought this was going to be a gimmick, but once I had enough leaves / branches etc in a bag, the strip help the bag open and made it far easier to deposit into than I had thought possible.The days of shipping garden rubbish to the tip and spending the next three months trying to vacuum them out of my boot are long gone. Totally recommended & excellent value.
