No I have not, but I wanted to share that I have left a few stacked bags out that got wet. The material on the inside turned hard as you would expect but they didn't stay stacked very long. The paper bag which has some plastic content acted as a bond breaker so bag to bag didn't stick together or have any strength. If you wanted to use them to make a wall to retain dirt, you might be able to stake through the stacked pile with rebar into the ground before they got wet and make them stay...would be nice if that would work : )

I've seen it done at the beach!!! The rain eventually wets the bags of sackcrete and they harden!!! Looks pretty cool!!

It's not a very durable wall, they dont stick together as good as you might think. If your retaining wall actually gets a little pressure from behind it, IT WILL fall over!
