Sandpits??

[michelle21]

Hey was just wondering if you ladies now anywhere that sells nice sandpits?
I saw a realy nice boat one in the kmart catologue when that big toy sale was on but havent seen any anywhere since.
Have no idea where to look

:detective: You could get your DH/DP to make one out of old railroad sleepers. And use a tarp to cover the sand over.

i was going to say the same as yummy mummy as we just brought a house and has a sandpit already in the back yard and it is just beautiful made out of wood and yes we cover it with a tarp..

The large plastic clam/shell (commonly used as a pool) are great as a sandpit and they are quite reasonably priced (Toys R us sell them). :thumbsup:

We have used one up until now as it is big enough for one, but for Christmas we are getting the boys the boat shape one from Kmart so they can spread out a bit - the sandpit is a daily activity in this house.

DF made Porsha one for her b'day. Just used sleepers. It looks great, and she love it.

Yup, we have :) We picked it up for $30.00 including the lid.

Just wondering where you buy the sand from? Thanks!

We got Double Washed sand from Bunnings in the bags. It only took 3 bags to fill ours and I think from memory cost us about $20-25.

They have a really cool one at bunnings, its wooden, has a cover with it, and it have a storage area for all the toys, its really really cool :thumbsup:

i find sand cheaper from places like landscape supplies

i seen a really nice sandpit today at bunnings it was a square one and it had a cupboard at one side so you could put toys in it and fitted tarp and it was $250 i think maybe it was only $150 i cant remember but it was really nice

Thanks for all the great ideas, dont know if id want DP to make one though, he would get right into it, planing it, getting all the stuff and then it would just sit there for agggges! haha

He wanted to do a whole new backyard and garden when we brought our house so he ripped out all the existing gardens and edging etc then nothing! He wanted to have it finished just after xmas.......xmas last year!! :rolleyes:

Will have to look at bunnings on the weekend though, that one sounds really nice and im ringing kmart about the boat onetoday, thanks guys :yelclap:
