How many bags of sand does it take?

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.

Although the manufacturer says no weight is needed, we find it useful to fill the side supports with sand. 1 50# bag is plenty.

1'1 width and1'8 1/2 height I actually filled up with sand from a beach, anyway in the end of the day I only filled one of the two sacks and it weights about 9 lbs so about less of 1 gallon of sand per sack.

I used about 10 bags of 2 cubic feet. If you could find some cheap (but clean, uncontaminated) fill dirt, you could use less good quality soil on top.

3 or 4 umbrellas. 2 large beach bags, ice chest 2 beach chairs and 2 lounge chairs!! Rolls easy on sand and the best thing we have bought in a long time! Just wish I had known about it years ago!!

Hello, I believe each bag of sand is 2.5 lbs (because there are 4 bags and with all of them in the ankle weight it = 10 lbs.) so I believe that the lowest weight u can have is 2.5 and then you can adjust to 5 lb by leaving 2 bags in. Hopes this helps!

Yes, individual bags of sand. They are very strong, well made. You can't open them. I think it's like 40-50.

Mine came with one, however, it didn't seem to get all the sand. I have been inserting a white footie hose along with the bag for the smaller stuff and it does better for me.

i just transferred old bags of play sand I had out in the yard into these bags and they were 50 pound bags.. so full they hold 50 pounds.

It calls for 55 pounds of sand, but we put a 50 pound bag of pool filter sand in and it works just fine. There is a fill line inside of the pump and 50 pounds of sand went above the minimum fill line. I found a bag of pool filter sand was at the local hardware store for $10.

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.

If I remember correctly, I think we used the small pebbles instead of sand.The base is pretty big so you would probably need 2 small to medium size bags.Our grandkids love it !

The sacks do not come filled. You have to buy the sand seperately and fill them. Enjoy!

4 to 5 bags depending on how many stones you use. Be sure to drill holes in the bottom!

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.

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

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.
