Kids Sandbox With Cover

[Kindra178]

Where can I get a sandbox with a cover (I don't want raccoons to think of our new sandbox as their kitty litter)? It should be big enough for three kids. Thanks!

We have this one:

We have the same one, and it's great. Nice and big, and really keeps out rain water.

I'm so happy to read this thread! We ordered that sandbox for DS's birthday, and though we don't have it yet, I'm excited about it! I'm happy to read good things about it.

I had the sandbox linked upthread. It was way too small for my two boys and OP has three older boys. I sold it about a month ago after only one summer of use.

OP, I do not think there is anything like that readily available. If you want one large enough for your kids, I'd probably have a carpenter build a large one with a wood top. That's what my FIL did for his grandkids in his house (he built it himself though).

I have had both the first one posted and this one. I prefer the stand up as the kids don't carry in as much sand.

I disagree about it being to small for 3 to play. I have 3 boys and they can all play at once in it. Granted they are standing outside of it and playing- not sitting in it. But I prefer it that way as less sand gets on them and tracked into the house. If you want something they can all sit in TRU has these options:

We've had our Naturally Playful sandbox for 7 years and it is still going strong, although it has faded a bit. Since it is a neutral color, you can't really tell it has faded though. My 3 manage to share it. They often end up playing in it one at a time though. DS2 plays in it while the other two are busy with bigger projects in the yard. I have been very, very happy with it.

If you have a Kohl's charge it's just $30.

OP, if you want a big one, have it built (easy project) and order a custom tarp cover. That's the easiest way to get a really big one.

We got rid of the plastic Step 2 sandbox after seeing our boys and their 3 cousins all play in FIL's real sandbox with plenty of room to spare! We will have one built when we move.
