Would this work with pea gravel instead of sand?

Yes, it should work fine. My granddaughter uses it with water, sand, rocks, just about anything.

Sorry for late response- we have it on gravel. It is heavy-duty. It really was a great decision for us.

I have gravel so I wouldn't know if it works with sand. But I can tell you that it has been awesome with gravel..it makes changing the water a breeze..should of gotten this sooner. Sorry I can't help.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

The ground spike is about 2 1/2 feet long and should work fine for the sand as long as the sand gets firm about 6" - 12" down.

Gravel wouldn't work well because you can't slide off it onto gravel. The ramp is not high at all-only about a foot off the ground

I'm not really sure. I believe it may suck up the sand.. I have a clear bottom, with no sand or gravel.. Gravel was too much of a pain to clean IMO..

It has pneumatic wheels so it should be pretty easy to use on gravel, although I haven't tried it. It is very easy to maneuver.

I don't see why not. It's just sand, but carefully cleaned and strained for animal use.

yes. in fact, i filled both of mine with a bag of rocks from home depot. sand would also work.

I am not sure. The wires are approximately 1/2" apart. Not sure if it would be good for pea rock or not.

extremely fine sand - not powdery - and if you are going to use it on a sand filter - put in pea gravel first - otherwise it will have a tendency to clog the manifold.

Not unless the water is put into say a plastic bottle. Even if u could get one to fit the cylinder, I don't think it would make them heavy enough to do any good. Pea gravel in baggies is the way to go.

I suppose you could, if you had the holes on the right angle...but I am not sure you have to-or would want to. It works well in soil and is also used in the sand...good luck

I've used it as gravel, works as well as anything else. You can use it under-gravel, but be aware of compacting and dead zones underneath the top layer of substrate. Especially if it is a fine substrate, like sand. I recently switched to a dirt tanks setup with flourite as a top layer, and it works much better than flourite alone.

It should, provided the sand doesn't fall back down the hole as fast as you drill it. You might try wetting an area and trying to see if that makes it easier to drill.

It is made of heavy-duty plastic and should hold the pea gravel just fine if your child is strong enough to dig and lift it. It is definitely kid-powered so the force they put into it dictates what it will lift. Hope this helps. My son is 4 and he digs mulch mostly with it but I think he could do large gravel no problem.
