DIY Kit: Simple Sandbox
Step by Step Directions
DIY: Simple Sandbox
- Mark off a 6’x 6’ square in your desired location and take up the grass. Check to make sure the land is level.
- Once you have cut your materials into the appropriate pieces, it will be important to sand them as this will be used primarily by children.
- With a helper, screw the sideboards into the 4 posts to make a square. Sink screws using a drill with Phillips head bit to secure. If you have a carpenter’s square handy, you can use it to make sure angles are square.
- Place a layer of cardboard, newspaper to completely cover the ground inside your box, this barrier reduces the possibility of weed growth.
- Add the sand to your box and let the fun begin!
- For protection against animals and other threats, secure a tarp over your sandbox when it’s not in use.
