I did the hose thing from the fire brigade years ago at Hampshire Racing Centre and we did fill with sand. Very heavy to be moving around and can still move. We folded the ens and nut and boltedit together. Also the hose is normally red and takes a hell of a lot of white paint and then of course it goes all stiff and horrible.
Thick rope from the docks sounds the trick and that would be my way of thinking after the experience of the hoses.
Hope we have helped a little.
And in addition, if the competitors are having a bad day then at least have something to try and hang themselves with at the end of the day !!! LOL
