Depending on how full you want it? I would suggest 2 bags of 100 balls! Gives it the perfect fullness!

I have two of these, and if I remember correctly, I bought a yard of soil (cheaper than many bags of soil from Lowes) and it filled them both and I had a full wheelbarrow left. So, ha;f a yard of soil should be plenty. I would recommend a mix if you are in an area where the topsoil is high in clay, or it can pack down when you have a raised bed type planting. Any other questions feel free to ask, I have lots of raised rock beds/these/and other root pouch containers !!

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 would suggest two bags to fill it up. I have a child's size bean bag and I needed a whole bag to fill it so it was comfortable.

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.

one large bag should be enough. It comes out of the holes, so I just keep putting it back in. Put it where you want it before you fill because it gets very heavy.

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.

One container/jar of sand is enough for it. They need to make bigger sand boxes! Easier to control kids with this size, though.

This was for my two year old grandson and since it was only him we got 1 50lb bag of sand. If you had 2 or more childen laying with the sandbox, I would purchase another bag. It will hold 100lbs total.

2 packs of six bricks. You coulds use a couple of bags of quick cret, mix it up and spread it on the bottom and for go the bricks. That may be cheaper but the bricks work fine.

It depends on location. If indoors I recommend water but be sure the seams of the base are totally sealed. Do not let anyone step on the base full or not. It will bust. If outdoors I prefer sand because of the heat. I have four if these 2in 2 out filled as I said. No problems at all. The water if used outside will evaporate and wind can blow the system over causing lots if damage.

I used water in mind, because it was for a 6 year old, but if you want more stability use sand. The diameter of the base is about 24 inches (2 feet), the depth is about 14 inches, I used the below site to calculate the number of lbs needed to completely fill the base, you'll need between 250 to 270 lbs of sand.http://www.kidsafesand.com/Sand%20Calculator.html?diameter(use the Round Sand Boxes calculator on the right).

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.

Thank you. I thought I read you use 20% less of this then sand. Our pool is 23,000 gallons, so I thought we would need 5 bags.
