Kids can have hours of fun playing in a sandpit, and they’re incredibly easy to make. This guide will show you how to make one that’s a little bit different - this sandpit has a handy cover that folds back into bench seats, so Mum and Dad can sit back and watch the kids play.

Great design! We just completed building our one using these plans and made a few tweaks. 1 - Our decking boards didn't have a gap between then as for the seat we could see little things dropping into that cavity and getting stuck and lost 2 - Used more standard decking boards as they we more available and cheaper too. Very well built sandpit but the materials do add up to over $300 3- Put some small hooks on the back of the seat to stop them being accidentally tipped over if / when kids try to climb them. 4 - Stapled weed matting to the bottom of the frame to avoid gaps Didn't manage to get everything as neat and square but very happy we built it. Next on the DIY list is a play kitchen! If you need someone less talented to help with a video for that you know where to find me 🤣

What's the ball park number of how much this project costs (without labour of course) if all materials are bought from Mitre 10? Great video. Thanks!

I’ve just finished building mine here in Victoria, Australia. I had to buy a few drills bits and tools ect, so my receipt was fairly high. But for the materials only it cost me about $400-$450 for materials. (Timber, screws, hinges ect)

crazy how overbuilt this is - the cost of material here will be more than already built sandbox

@jibcot8541 2 жыл бұрын

You get what you pay for, the reason commercially available ones are cheaper are they are build of the most rubbish cheapest materials and will not last as long as this more expensive beast.
