Does this sand need to be covered for protection?

I don't know. I bought the sand box from Brookstone and the sand from another retailer. However, the sand is advertised as never drying out (as is the sand I purchased). What I found though about my version of kinetic sand is that while the sand did not dry out per se, it does begin to harden over time (I've had mine 6 months). I do keep my sand in a covered container when not in use; I'd recommend some kind of covering. I just use a Tupperware container.

Yes. I've been using mine in sand for a year now. No issues. It look a little bit of adjusting during setup but has performed excellent since day one.

rain and instances like that. if it were to be submerged in water, moderate protection. everything is basically covered. just get it out quick!

I'm pretty sure it is... Ours has granite over it but I don't think it necessarily needed it.

It comes with a mesh netting to cover the sand. Hooks onto the corners of the box.

It's not necessary, but if ground is rough I like a tarp for protection or if I know it's going to be very wet I like the added layer between me and the wet ground.

Just put a tarp over the sand, secured with some heavy rocks on the corners. I live in Seattle, so rain is a common occurrence. A bigger issue with rain is that it pools in the canopy, we had to take it off for the winter months to ensure it wouldn't break from the water sitting in it. Hope this helps.

It Will cover the crack all right, the question is 'Will it help', for that i Can say it Will cover the location that you specify, but the actual crack can expand eventually, given if there be excessive pressure or force exerted upon or around the position. This is just a shield that Will cover, but it Will not Repair...

It's not necessary to use covers. I scotchgard my cushions every three months so if they get dusty or dirty, I can just hose them off.

No. We have used ours 2 years with no ground cover. It is sitting on smooth sand however. It is a good product and I would defintly buy again to protect my pool.

No sand is needed if installed properly. Great ladder. Had another just like it and lasted for years. With stands rambunctious kids and intoxicated adults!

No. It's one piece that is sealed around the sides. It protects pretty well.

It could be used with sand, but it has no cover. I think using water is better.

That's your choice. If you don't want it sitting down low in the sand, you need it up higher. A tabletop would be fine. But it should be a non flammable surface.

I used a lot of sand, it is very stable. The backboard is more plastic than glass, so that might help protect it.

Yes I do use a cover it is also a rectangular intex cover that fits snugly down over he sides of the pool. And we just used clear plastic for underneath the pool and spread sand onto the plastic, seemed to work real well for us.
