It's pretty clear that the article is focused on the use of sandbags in temporary structures, particularly battlefield fortifications and flood control. I'm kind of surprised, though, to find no mention whatsoever of their use in theatre, where they're commonly used to weigh down set pieces to prevent shifting (especially if it's a temporary set) and have been historically used as counterweights for rigging of lights and fly systems. A brief mention in the uses section would seem to be a good addition, if proper sourcing is handy. (My knowledge is based on personal experience, which isn't a reliable source to add it to the article.) oknazevad ( talk) 18:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
