A country sandbox with a hinged lid and a bench is the most practical option for a sand playground for a country house. By blocking access to sand for cats and dogs, this design provides your baby with more comfort and options while playing.
It’s not difficult to make the country sandbox for your baby shown in the photo with your own hands.
To save such valuable time at the dacha, you need to prepare for work in advance by purchasing boards for the side walls and lids, timber, a special canvas for the bottom, door hinges and handles, as well as screws or self-tapping screws necessary for assembling the structure. You can purchase all these elements at a construction goods hypermarket. Here, cut the boards and beams into pieces of the required length.
The first stage of assembly is the installation of a sandbox box from boards fastened to each other with pieces of timber and screws.
The bottom of the sandbox is made of a special breathable fabric or agrofabric, which is attached to the bottom of the box with a construction stapler.
The sandbox lid is mounted from four segments: two fixedly fixed to the frame and two more, fastened to each other with door hinges
The fixed parts of the roof act as a stop for the closed lid and a base for the bench seat when the sandbox is open.
The beams sewn to one of the moving parts hold the back of the bench open and serve as fastenings for the door handles used to lift the lid of the sandbox.
To protect against moisture and temperature changes, the finished sandbox is coated with a special water-repellent solution or painted with oil paint.
