What quantity of sand (in pounds) do you use in the large table?

It will hold two bags of playground sand the kind from Home Depot. One bag is enough though.

100 pounds of sand. Usually three bags. Salt depends on size of pool. i.e. 8000 Gallon Pool needs 200 pounds of pool salt.

We bought this sand for the kids' sandbox...I agree with the other answer that said buy a bag of sand from home depot or lowe's. This is a very small bag of sand! You don't really think about it (we didn't) but it doesn't take much to make 5 pounds...This is EXACTLY just plain sand like you find on the beach, nothing fancy, nothing special. Save yourself time and money and go buy you some bulk sand from your local sand pit (dump truck delivery guys can tell you where to buy in bulk) or, as previously mentioned, a big bag from home depot.

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 and a 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.

One standard bag of silica sand is what i use. Fills it about half way. I never had to change the sand during the season because it is a big enough filter for my 4 x 24 pool.

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.

I have 100 lbs of sand in mine. I personally can't punch or kick it over but someone bigger or stronger could very well take it over. We use one filled with water where I take Krav Maga and one of the girls can turn it over.

The manual says to add 365 pounds of sand. I used seven 50 pound bags (350 pounds total), which barely fit (had to keep shaking the base to get the sand to settle), and I can hang on the rim and it won't tip.

It depends on what you want to do with it. We make pictures in the sand and try to guess what they are making before they are finished. If you want to make sand castles, you will need a large receptacle and 2-3 bags I think.

I used 4 bags of 0.5 cu ft each of sand. Each bag weighed in at 48 pounds so that is nearly 200 pounds of sand. Nearly equal to 25 gallons of water..which weighs nearly 8 pounds per gallon. The guy that is using a 50 pound weight is really not securing his very well. One bag of sand and I could still tip mine over pretty easily. that was 48 pounds.

Not Sure. We had sand from a sandbox we put in it. Maybe one hundred pounds or more. Our sand was wet from being outside.

We used sand and about 60# but it could use more. We used the same sand that we put in the cars for wt during the winter. I think it's a matter of choice.

Large and flat is fine as long as it's rigid. If it's not rigid, start with sheet metal, subtract its tare weight (reset to 0), then add your item. Mind the 1kg total capacity; that includes tare.

I've had my original one for going on 3 years now. I usually tote 2-4 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, stuffed beach bag, beach towels and a small six pack cooler with little issue (I added a bungee cord). The more weight you add the deeper it sinks into the sand however, I haven't found it to be a real issue. Maybe if you had to tow it long distance in soft sand? Any weight works fine on the hard wet sand. We love the table for game play and food prep too. I liked it so much I bought another for family to tow their own gear. Hope this helps.

I believe sand is from Canada. It's heavy enough to build sand castles and if you add water it helps. Best sand I've ever used. Very clean. I got the white.
