how many bags of sand does it take

We bought two standard size sand bags (think about 40 or 50 lbs) but we would have been fine with just the one bag. But it was good to have two because as the kids played the pushed out a lot of sand onto the ground. Its a great toy - my 3 loved it!

We couldn't use it. It was broken and dirty when we got it. It apparently wasn't new so never used. Sorry.

Initially we put 3 bags into the box and later added 2 more as the summer went on. Can't wait to drag it out again this summer.

We used 6 bags of sand. This sandbox is quite expensive for what it is... I doubt I would another one.

It does not come with sand, but you can go to any pool place to purchase the sand. I believe it takes around 5 bags. Just make sure not to film the sand to the top. The instructions lay it out very clearly for you though. Hope this helps

The 11 lb box which contains 5-6 separate bags is beach sand in color. There are l lb boxes for sale that are colored but are much more expensive.

Take four burlap bags and fill them with the sand and tie the four corners to the bags. If really windy use four more bags. also try the four bags at the base then the other four further out.

I believe it was two if I remember correctly. It does tell you in the instructions how many bags/lbs you need to get it running smoothly.

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

I got bags of sand from Home Depot and I didn't pour the sand out of the bags, I put the whole bags in the base so I just have to pull a couple bags out and move it then put bags back in.

I think one bag would be plenty. You can break them off at intervals, and I believe that's more than enough.

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.

not sure I have not put it together yet due to snow outside. However, kidcraft website says 12-14 bags of sand. I do not know how full that much sand would make it though, I would say probably at least 10 bags to make it deep enough to play with but not over flowing.

Unfortunately it isn't. It will fill about an inch maybe 1 1/2" in the bottom of an inside sand table that is about 16 x 20". It is great sand, feels really nice and isn't dusty, and will buy it again for that purpose. Unfortunately, it would take many boxes for an outside sand box. I would recommend play sand from a home improvement store for that purpose. Much cheaper $5/bag and in 50lb bags.

Oh yeah! I got these for my workup. I filled it with moist sand and it tops out at 70lbs full. Pretty tough bag too.

One, fifty pound bag of playground quality sand is all you need. Sand costs under $4.

A lot. We used a funnel to get it in. Mine is only half full and my 8 yr can't move it too much. I filled the large size Tupperware 3.4 full at the beach. Probably can hold a whole large Tupperware of sand. Can use water but hard to empty. I worry about a leak in my apartment. I am a 45 yr old adult and use it as well.

It has been awhile but I think I went with this formula. 5' x 5' x 0.5 =12.5 cubic feet. Home depot sold play sand in .5 cubic feet bags pretty cheap so I went with 12 to 16 bags and filled it halfway which was plenty. My daughter loves it at 5 and it is much better than the plastic boxes.

Our instructions say it takes 100 lbs of No. 20 silica sand. We buy two 50-lb bags of filter sand at a home improvement-type store that sells pool supplies.
