The Charles Bentley 120cm Square Sandpit is ideal for families looking to create a versatile, engaging outdoor play space for young children. Its standout feature is the clever integrated lid design that converts into two stable benches, maximizing utility while ensuring the sand remains protected from debris and pets when not in use. While it offers a robust, certified safe play environment, parents should note that it requires assembly on a perfectly flat surface and does not come with play sand included.

While the capacity varies depending on the desired depth, it is generally recommended to fill it to about 15-20cm, which typically requires roughly 150-200kg of play sand.
The timber is crafted for longevity, but for maximum protection against the elements, we recommend applying a non-toxic wood preservative suitable for children's outdoor play equipment.
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use. However, it is advisable to keep the lid closed and, if possible, cover it with a heavy-duty waterproof tarp during harsh winter months to prolong the life of the wood.
The product is designed for younger children. We always recommend adult supervision during play to ensure safety.
It comes with a breathable, non-woven internal liner that acts as a base to prevent weeds while allowing water to drain.
The benches are designed for children to perch on. It is not recommended for adults to sit on the benches to avoid compromising the structural integrity of the folding mechanism.
Check that the sandpit is placed on a completely level surface and ensure the frame hasn't shifted during assembly.
Verify that the provided non-woven liner is fully covering the base and that it has not been punctured during initial assembly.
To assemble the sandpit, it is recommended to work with two people; the process typically takes about 30 minutes. You will need a clear, flat area of your garden. Ensure the ground is level, as uneven surfaces will cause the folding benches to misalign. Regarding care, because the unit is made of timber, it is advised to apply a suitable wood preservative annually to protect the wood from moisture and UV degradation. For the best experience, keep the cover closed during wet weather to prevent the sand from becoming waterlogged, even though the internal liner allows for drainage.
