Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi all, We have just had a tractor tyre delivered, which I am hoping to turn into an outdoor sandpit. Does anyone already have one of these and be able suggest how many sacks of sand I will need to fill it? It looks massive! Thanks in advance, Carrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Oh how exciting, sorry don't know the answer but have fun filling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would say about a tonne- one of those massive builders sacks if you know the ones I mean- you have to allow for the sand that will naturally fill into the inner brim rather than just all in the middle have fun sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have two tractor tyres but use them both as raised beds...one is a herb garden and one has cauliflower and garlic growing in them....they are fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Our tractor tyre has sand in..... about 5 or 6 bags usually makes for a good amount to play with!! The children love ours!! Great fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My JCB tyre had 120kg of sand poured in when it arrived, which half filled it - enough to be able to reach to play in but not to spill out everywhere! Nona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thank you so much for all your replies. The children absolutely loved playing on/in it today and seemed disappointed when I said we were going to fill it with sand! I think I might leave it empty for a while - or see if I can get another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
