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

Product Information

Rather than travelling over to a crowded beach, why not bring the beach to you with our super fun sand pits. Our sandpit range also includes sand and water pits, perfect for those warmer days when they may need a cool down. I'm heading to Lowe's now to get some lumber to build one of these for my one Grandson for his birthday.

With the Chad Valley Sand And Water Pit kids can experience all the fun of the beach in the comfort of their back garden. I saw this on Pinterest and was just telling my husband about it yesterday in hopes maybe we could figure out how to build it. A fun new addition to your garden, keep the little ones busy with the collection of outdoor toys and play equipment available at Homebase. You can cut the boards however you want, there aren't any particular reasons you need a compound miter saw.

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. Cleverly designed, the bench seats fold out to form a protective cover - ideal for keeping animals out and ensuring the sand inside is free from garden debris. The height is perfect for toddlers, or it can be placed on a table so kids of different ages can play together.

This easy to build sandbox with built-in seats is a reader favorite and has been built thousands of times. A note from now-on: "finish" your wood for outdoor projects first, that way the elements can't make their way into the wood that isn't "finished"!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.

I pinned a similar picture of this over a year ago, but it was a link to purchase it from over seas! So the posts for the tower are inside the sandbox in each of the four corners with two of the corners having a support cross beam that crosses the corners infront of the posts. So I am having a hard time planning how the seat will fold up with the post and how to install the 1x4's for the cover/seat.

Thank you for posting this--your plans are awesome and I can't wait to make my own for my little girl.The only comments I wanted to share are that you should consider a middle support under the bench plank in Step 2.

I'm new to the site but wanted to say that I've seen similar plans (possibly on YouTube) where the builder added some latches so that the possibility of accidents is brought down to a minimum. The Hedstrom can be filled with sand, plastic balls, or just toys, to create a safe play area for little ones to explore. However, I am concerned that this wont be very waterproof and the sand will end up getting waterlogged for when she comes to use it. 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.Many of our sandpits are available with covers to shelter your little explorers from the harsh UV rays, letting them play as safely as possible.
