Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I am trying to source a sandpit for our Outdoor Reception area. A builder's quote for £2500 to build a sunken sandpit has left me a bit stumped! Can anyone recommend a large, wooden sandpit? I've been trawling the internet and they all seem rather small. Here's hoping. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I am sure I have seen these in B&Q, Homebase and Woolworths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 We have 2 outdoor sandpits one from B&Q which to be honest isnt very good and one which was hugely expensive from a school playground supplier. http://www.justoutdoortoys.co.uk/store/ite...ar_Premium.html http://www.justoutdoortoys.co.uk/store/cat...ts_Seesaws.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi, I had a carpenter chap build our sunken sandpit. It's about six feet square, made of cedar wood, with two lids that can be lifted off fairly easily, although it needs two people because they are heavy! When the lids are on, it becomes a stage area which is great, too. It's so popular, and 6-8 children can play in or around it quite happily. Can't remember how much it was because it was several years ago, but I know I wouldn't have paid £2500! Each year, I have to put about 25 sacks of sand in it because it does get distributed all over the garden. If you'd like to see a photo of it let me know and I'll go and take one!

Guest Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thanks everyone for your replies. It's really helped especially hearing your views on the sandpits. I will progress this further. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
