We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.

I just bought the AT1226 sand blaster from Amazon. When I tried to buy extra nozzles (MP 3109 replacement kit), I found Amazon is out of stock. I emailed Campbell Hausfeld and they told me their warehouse was temporarily out of stock. I'm thinking of returning the gun based on the unavailability of replacement nozzles.

I ordered this product in sand. The product came in the original sealed GT packaging, so I am only assuming that the product is covered by the manufacturer of it. I will do some more research and update his post.

I have to be honest with you, my husband put this together and he rarely looks at instructions. I will tell you I went to home supply store and bought 4 50 lb. bags of sand to put in base (about $16). It was tough getting the sand into such a small hole, use a BIG funnel, yet still very time consuming! Any how, putting the umbrella into the base was not too hard. Dare I say trial and error? There's a pedal thingie on the base that you step on to rotate the umbrella from side to side. That's all I got for ya, hope it helps!

I have not filled it with sand yet. I have been using a 50lb umbrella base the few times I took it out this winter for the boys to play.

We put about two bags of play sand in the castle. One bag doesn't do it. You can get it at Kmart, Walmart, Home Depot/Lowes, any of those places, at least they have it here in Michigan.

You will need to go to a LOWES, or Home Depot, or some such store, and buy 2 50lb. bags.They should load it in your car for you. You need about 1 1/2 bags for a good amt. for children to play with.OR, if you want expensive COLORED sand, look on the WWW..........but, it IS expensive.I have this for my grandkids, and keep it on an enclosed porch, that way they can play with it even if it is raining.

Cement/concrete would be too thin and probably set up and ruin the bags. Gravel may work. Sand is great, cheap and does not hurt customers toes if stepped in to.

Mine just have the stripes. I agree that you should put the sand in plastic bags before putting them inside the bags. Also, I can't see how you could possibly put much more than 5 pounds of sand in each side. They are advertised as holding 20 pounds, but there is no way you could get 10 pounds in each side. They still work great with only 10 pounds. 20 pounds might actually be a little hard to manage.

If I remember correctly, I think we used the small pebbles instead of sand.The base is pretty big so you would probably need 2 small to medium size bags.Our grandkids love it !

Of course the sellers they will not put a sand bag! they only gives you the black bag to place any heavy stuff inside it as you wish!

I gave the sand and the box to my husband at Christmas. He's put a plastic top on it but I'm sure it wasn't necessary. It's not air tight and the sand is just like new. Hope you enjoy it.

I think this is the same one I have and the Storage Container was included, a sample 8 hole sanding disk which I could not find locally, ended up ordering the grits I needed later, the StickFix ?? not sure if its the Velcro like - yes. Does not hookup to other Dust collection systems smoothly they do provide a 3" or so piece of tubing that I was able to zip-tie the ends to my Fein device controlled vac. Works well but wasn't really the right tool for the boat bottom I was sanding ended up soda blasting it.

my husband uses this and he said you have to keep refilling it until it burns down to ashes then you have to dump and refill again. and you can by the chips on amazon, or lowes has the best on and very inexpensive for the bag. about 4.00 to 5.00 a bag depends on the wood.

We bought 200 pounds (4 bags) of "play" sand from Lowe's. We only put 150 pounds in the sandbox, saving one bag for re-filling later. I think Home Depot would have it also. Make sure you get pre-washed "play" sand, not construction sand.

I purchased this for a mower that I obtained and I thought the mower used a bag, it turns out my model does not. The model I have is only a mower and no catch system. However, I do have a side discharge mower that does use a side out bag such as the one your asking about. So judging by the construction of the item, I would say that if you know your mower is definitely one that has a side discharge and uses a catch bag, then this will most likely work. The item comes with instructions and it does not take more then 20 minutes to assemble the item. This of course is assumed you will analyze directions and take your time.

i haven't used my bags yet. next month i will try to fill them. if you go to you tube and find john kohler growing your greens it shows him filling one. he mixes his soil with other items so your soil will not be so heavy and it can drain better. let me know how it works. good luck
