FAQs
What type of sand should I use?
Play sand specifically designed for sandpits is recommended. Ensure it is clean and free from sharp objects.
How much sand does it hold?
The sandpit is generously sized. Approximately 8-10 bags of standard play sand (25kg each) are typically needed to fill it to a good depth.
Does it come with sand?
No, the sand is not included with the sandpit. You will need to purchase play sand separately.
What are the dimensions of the sandpit?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for the exact dimensions, as they can vary slightly.
Is the wood treated?
The wood is FSC certified, indicating sustainable sourcing. It is generally treated for outdoor use, but periodic re-application of a child-safe preservative is recommended for longevity.
Can the bench seats be removed?
The lid converts into bench seats. When not in use as seats, the lid can be placed back on top of the sandpit to cover it.
What age is this sandpit suitable for?
This sandpit is generally suitable for children aged 3 years and above, under adult supervision.
Troubleshooting
Sandpit panels feel wobbly after assembly
Double-check all screws and fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the ground the sandpit is on is level.
Wood shows signs of weathering
Apply a child-safe wood preservative or sealant annually, particularly before periods of heavy rain or intense sun.
Lid does not fit securely
Verify that the sandpit frame is square and level. Minor adjustments to the lid placement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This sandpit is designed for use with play sand. Ensure the chosen location is suitable for outdoor play.
Care: To maintain the wood's condition, it is advisable to treat the timber periodically with a suitable wood sealant or preservative, especially before winter.
