AnonyMouse_11548 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Hi there, I am going bonkers trying to find somewhere that will sell a base sheet/liner for my sandpit at home. It needs to be breathable so the sand doesn't go mouldy. Do you have any ideas where i can purchase some? I was wondering if a weed membrane might do the trick... thank you x
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 i would think that weed membrane is exactly what you want....that's certainly what we have in ours
AnonyMouse_21228 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I didn't know sand went mouldy?! I was hoping to convert a flower bed into a sandpit with lid, is weed membrane the way to go rather than plastic lined?
Guest Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 A regular dose of miltons forked through sand will keep it mould free

AnonyMouse_39602 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 weed fabric is good but make sure you buy a heavy grade one as the cheaper thinner rolls break up easily.
