Do expandable barriers need to be fully extended during each use?

No, the barriers do not need to be fully extended every time. You can extend it as much or as little as required.

I am interested in purchasing a water filled barrier. How easy is it to fill the expandable barrier with water?

Filling the barrier with water or sand helps to weigh the barrier down and prevent movement, this is especially beneficial when the barrier is used outdoors and exposed to the elements. It is easy to fill the barrier with water. Simply remove the cap on the side of the barrier, add water and then reattach the cap.
