FAQs

Does this sandbox come with a bottom liner?

No, the sandbox has an open-bottom design. It is recommended to use a breathable landscape fabric underneath to prevent weeds.

How much sand do I need?

While it depends on the desired depth, most users find that approximately 100-150kg of play sand is sufficient to fill the 100x100cm area.

Is the wood treated for outdoor use?

The wood is selected for outdoor play, but it is highly recommended to apply a child-safe wood sealer or preservative to extend its lifespan.

Can adults sit on the benches?

The benches are designed for children's use during play. While they are sturdy, they are not intended to support adult weight.

What tools are needed for assembly?

A standard screwdriver and potentially a rubber mallet are typically all that is required to assemble the provided fixings.

Is the lid completely waterproof?

The lid is designed to protect from debris and light rain, but it is not 100% airtight or waterproof in heavy storms.

Troubleshooting

Hinges are stiff or difficult to open

Check for trapped sand in the hinge mechanism, clean with a brush, and ensure the screws are not overtightened.

The sandbox wobbles on the surface

Ensure the ground surface is perfectly level. If necessary, use small shims to balance the corners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Innovative folding design saves space and protects the sand
  • Encourages social and imaginative outdoor play
  • Splinter-free wood finish provides safety for children
  • Easy to assemble with all necessary fixings included

Cons

  • No included base liner requires a separate purchase
  • Requires regular wood maintenance to preserve the finish
  • Sand must be purchased separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly is straightforward as the unit is supplied with all necessary fixings. Ensure you have a flat, level surface before construction to prevent the hinge mechanism from binding.

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically check the galvanised hinges to ensure they remain tightened and free of debris.
  • Treat the natural wood with a child-safe outdoor wood preservative annually to prevent rot and weather damage.
  • When not in use, ensure the benches are fully folded down to act as a lid, which helps keep the internal environment clean and safe.
  • Use high-quality play sand, typically sold at garden centers or home improvement stores, for the best sensory experience.
