Review: Loads of fun! - I have two little boys, one of whom is too small to play in a sandbox yet, but I wanted to make sure we got a sandbox that would be large enough for them both once he gets old enough. Those little plastic crab and turtle sandboxes are so cute, but I thought they would be too small. The Kidkraft Backyard Sandbox is just what we were looking for! It's plenty large enough for multiple kids to play, and the bench seats in the corners are very handy. They are sturdy enough for me to sit on, too. As for fun value, my not-quite-three-year-old will play in there indefinitely. He spent hours in it the day we filled it, and about an hour of that was without any toys! The sandbox was easy to put together, and is made of high quality wood. We just put a tarp under it to hold in the sand. The cover works fine to keep out leaves, cats, etc. We put in 15 50-lb. bags of sand, and it probably needs another 2 or 3, just to give folks an idea of how much it will hold. Bottom line, great sandbox and a great way to keep your kids entertained for hours!
Review: Worth it, if you don't have time to build one. - Look, this would be very easy to build - but you're here because you don't have that time. It's well engineered, with solid wood and locking bolts. You could even add a little wood glue. Yes, the sand will get wet: The under-side is a plastic sheet - with holes to allow drainage. After putting it together, I realized how necessary that is, or it would be completely reliant on evaporating pooled water from 600-800 lbs of sand. That also means that water will soak the sand from the bottom if the sandbox is placed where runoff water pools or flows. The mesh net cover allows for evaporation. I bought a waterproof plastic cover for rainy days, but will generally leave it off because condensation collects under it and holds in moisture. I also took 15 minutes to coat on an additional layer of clear sealant, addressing mold concerns from other reviews. Will probably empty, dry, and refill it once per year (if it lasts). Finally, I would count on 600 lbs of sand minimum (12x 50lb bags). I put in 700 (14x 50lb bags). 900-100 lbs will fill sand right up to the corner seats. Purchase or order sand from a hardware store. Prices on this app are 8x what I paid. Also, note that play sand is bagged with moisture for packing purposes. Account for a little time to dry for your kiddos.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much sand is needed to fill the KidKraft Backyard Sandbox**
A: my sandbox is on order, so i can't tell you from experience, but the KidKraft website says 12-14 bags of sand...though it doesn't say how big the bags are! http://www.kidkraft.com/toys-and-playsets/outdoor/sandboxes/00130

**Q: Does the sandbox have a bottom?**
A: Hi there, The sandbox has a plastic liner for the bottom and a mesh net for the top of the sand. Thank you!-The KidKraft Customer Care Team

**Q: Does the white liner attach to anything or do you just lay it down? And, do I need a waterproof cover since this one is mesh and will let water in?**
A: We think it is just held in place by the sand.  You do not need a waterproof cover, unless you don't want the sand to get wet.  The water seeps through the liner as it has holes in it for that purpose.  Slightly damp sand is easier to work with. Our mesh cover only lasted a year or too, though, because chipmunks or something else ate through it.  We really liked the mesh cover.  It was easy to cover the sandbox and secure with the Velcro straps.  We eventually came up with a makeshift cover that happens to be waterproof, but we keep having to dump water off it when it rains.

**Q: How much sand do I need to fill this? 25-lb?**
A: I started with 500lbs of sand and that filled the sandbox less than half way. I got 400 more lbs and that was perfect for what we wanted (about 3/4 full). It all depends on how full you want it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheaper than building it yourself
*by D***B on May 30, 2016*

This is a decent sandbox, and big enough for three children, ages 4, 7, and 8. We figured the cost of purchasing the wood and building it ourselves, but this prefabricated sandbox is less expensive. It goes together in about an hour. The wood did split in one part where the two long boards are screwed together at the corners, so handle with care when you are putting it together...don't let the wood get twisted. Also make sure you screw all the side boards on ***right side up,*** or the corner benches won't sit into position and you won't be able to attach them. The plastic "Viz-queen" type bottom liner is good enough. It is attached with some plastic pegged strips that fit into pre-drilled holes in the wood, so it holds just fine, especially once you get the sand in. I don't know exactly how much sand we put in there, because my husband used the front loader on his tractor (2 scoops). Set this sandbox up in a shady spot, and your kids/grandkids will have hours of fun.
