Garden Games Sandpit Picnic Table with Lid and Weather Cover – Children’s 1.2 Wide Wooden Bench Sandbox

Product Information

I just finished this for my daughter and it turned out great. The only comments I wanted to share are that you should consider a middle support under the bench plank in Step 2. I'm also thinking of adding middle supports for the other planks when the box is closed so she can stand on it without bowing. On the lid, we ran into trouble with the 1/2" spacing. 12-1x4 without spacing would be 48". Even accounting for the fact that the 1x4s came up a bit less than 4, more like 3 3/4, we still ended up having to adjust everything at the end. Anyway, the posted finished projects look great, and like a few others, I'm making my sides 2" X 8" for more stability as I will be moving it to their home after building it.

Sandpit with Bench Lid, made from pressure impregnated timber to ensure years of enjoyment. The lid will close giving the sandpit some protection. I don't know about a support. Maybe if you add one, you could take a picture to explain. Also, I didn't want to list the planks at 48" because not all boards are exactly 8', *and* if you cut one at 48", the blade takes up anywhere from 1/8"-3/16", so one would be shorter than the other. Not a big deal, but I wanted to make sure all bases were covered.I built this, but used and the base of a play fort and swing set above it. It really came out beautiful. Thank U for the plan Bringing all the fun of the beach to your home in the form of a sandpit has always been a great way to keep young children entertained. At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents. For kids to play safely in their sandbox, it's important that the box is kept covered until the next playtime, which is why we would always recommend a sandpit with a lid or covering. This is also important to make sure that rain and any other nasties can't get in and affect the sand. With regular raking and appropriate drainage, you should be able to keep your sandpit clean and in tip-top condition.

Our sandpit range also includes sand and water pits, perfect for those warmer days when they may need a cool down.
