Quick and easy to use in 3 steps
1. Activate the sausage
Water the sausage with tap water (watering can, garden hose) or by immersing it in water for 3 to 7 minutes to weight it down. The sausage reaches its optimal shape when it measures between 8 and 10 cm in height.
2. Place the tarps
The sausage is delivered with opaque tarps. For optimal durability, use these to protect the sausage from the elements and prolonged exposure to UV rays. When using multiple sausages, the latter ensures a better seal for the barrier. Place the tarp in front of the area to be protected.
3. Position the sausage
Place the sausage on the tarps. Then, fold them back to completely cover the barrier.

How can I stop water from coming in through a door or into a garage?
Place them in front of your door opening to block and deflect water. By swelling upon contact with water, they create a 10 cm high waterproof barrier, ideal for preventing infiltration during heavy rain or light flooding. Remember to position the draught excluders flat and plan their installation in case of a weather alert for maximum effectiveness.
