Statement on Beach Bags' and affiliates' false patent infringement accusations and rumors.
Hillside Rainwater Harvesting: Collecting rainwater from a cabin roof and storing it in a bladder placed directly on a sloped hillside or tucked out of sight under a raised deck (where rigid, upright tanks won't fit).
Well-Water Backup: Acting as a buffer tank for rural homes. If the power goes out and the well pump stops working, a family has 1,000+ gallons of gravity-fed water ready to go.
Remote Garden & Greenhouse Irrigation: Pumping water once from a creek or well into a bladder situated above a large garden, allowing for gravity-fed drip irrigation all summer without running a pump daily.
Emergency Preparedness & Wildfire Defense
Mountain Cabin Wildfire Defense: Homeowners in fire-prone areas staging 1,000 gallons of water on a hillside above their cabin. They can hook this up to a gas-powered water pump and rooftop sprinklers to soak their property if a wildfire approaches.
Emergency Drinking & Sanitation Water: High-capacity survival storage for families wanting a secure water supply for long-term grid outages, hurricanes, or natural disasters. The ability to fold it up and hide it when not in use is a unique advantage over massive plastic silos.
Large home projects often run into the same anchoring and water needs as commercial crews, just on a slightly smaller scale.
Temporary Carport & RV Cover Anchoring: Tying down large metal or canvas RV carports, boat covers, or storage tents on gravel driveways where pouring concrete footings isn't an option.
Pool & Spa Maintenance Storage: Pumping out and storing water during a hot tub repair or partial swimming pool drain, then pumping it back in. This saves rural consumers the massive expense of buying trucked-in water to refill.
DIY High-Wind Tie Downs: Anchoring massive backyard playsets, temporary greenhouses, or large shade sails in extreme high-wind areas (like desert valleys or coastal zones) without digging deep post holes.
Private Swim Platform & Dock Anchors: Anchoring private floating docks, water trampolines, or swim platforms on uneven, sloped lakebeds in front of a lakeside cabin.
High-Wind RV & Tiny Home Anchoring: Acting as heavy-duty wind tie-downs for travel trailers, 5th wheels, or tiny homes parked on off-grid, unpaved land where extreme gusts are a risk.
Off-Road / Overland Basecamps: Staging a central water supply for large family reunions or multi-family ATV/dirtbike basecamps on remote BLM land or desert slopes.
