How much sand does this hold?

Recommended was 150 lbs. So three 50lb bags. That's what we used and it works out great.

well it is quite sturdy and has a broad base so it should hold up fine...except on sand you can't bounce the balls off the ground, of course. Have fun

I only put sand on one side but either side is built to play and hold sand and/or water. I went through one bag this summer filling up one side over and over again. So doing both sides it would probably take less than 1/4 of a bag to initially fill it.

Hi Greg. This is difficult to answer. I filled a 176oz. 1.36 gal. laundry soap container full of sand then filled each bag. I used them to hold down my pool cover. Got sick of using plastic jugs because they kept cracking. This amount of sand only filled the bags half way. So I'm guessing a full bag would hold about 20lbs. of sand? I don't know what you plan to fill it with.

I use sand and I have about 10 pounds of sand but I have a fish stand. I would not recommend placing this 6 gallon tank on a desk or shelf because 6 gallons of water I think is about 48 pounds plus 10lbs of sand anda few rocks will make it over 60lbs. If you are not going to fill the tank all the way then I would recommend doing about half (3 gallons and about 5lbs of sand) on a desk or shelf. I really like this tank and also remember its acrylic = easy to scratch.

The interior depth of the sandbox is 7 inches. 150 pounds of sand will fill it.

It needs to be full of sand or cement I use mine for a half umbrella and it holds fine. Windy no umbrella will lift right out and you would need to spray a coat or two of clear or it will rust. Good conversation item though

It does hold sand in the weave but is easily shaken out. Sturdy, large capacity yet compact. Travelled well and functioned perfectly.

Well, if it's a 3"x3"x1" tray, I'd say couple spoonfuls..lolo If it's a 3'x3'x1' tray, then a lot! The 5# bag is enough for 2 kids to play with and not argue! lol Sorry I couldn't be for specific. I will say this, this is not a 'grainy' sand like sandbox sand, and I wouldn't suggest it be left out all the time. Hope that helps.

It's about the same size as those pools just taller. I don't know if it would be strong enough to hold sand though.

I put a 50 pound bag and a half of another 50lb bag in ours. That was regular sand.

Maybe. It would stab into the ground and hold pretty well, but I'm not sure about sand. Sorry.

You don't need a sand and water table. I put 4 of the 5 pound boxes in my table and it fills up half. So if you're just using 1, one of those Rubbermaid type storage containers will work great. Not the shoe box size but the rectangle medium size. Not really big.

10 50lb bags of play sand was enough to fill it 3/4 of the way. The directions say it can hold 17 bags and I'm assuming that amount would fill it very close to the top.

I used water in mind, because it was for a 6 year old, but if you want more stability use sand. The diameter of the base is about 24 inches (2 feet), the depth is about 14 inches, I used the below site to calculate the number of lbs needed to completely fill the base, you'll need between 250 to 270 lbs of sand.http://www.kidsafesand.com/Sand%20Calculator.html?diameter(use the Round Sand Boxes calculator on the right).
