How much sand is needed to fill the KidKraft Backyard Sandbox

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

my sandbox is on order, so i can't tell you from experience, but the KidKraft website says 12-14 bags of sand...though it doesn't say how big the bags are! http://www.kidkraft.com/toys-and-playsets/outdoor/sandboxes/00130

I don't know anything about other sandboxes, but this one was big enough for one 3-year-old, possibly two. As I recall, it's about 5 feet long. I liked it because it has a lid to keep critters and bugs out of it when not in use.

Tiffany is right, my almost 5 year olds fits in here with his 2 year old sister and still loves sand. Especially if you bury something fun in there like plastic dinosaur fossils for him to dig up!

200 Is A Great Amount For One of The Small Size Plastic Pools (One That Is About 3 - 4 Feet Across)Anything Bigger And You Will Most Likely Want More Balls. We Had 200 In A Small Plastic Pool, Kids 1 - 7 Coul Run And Jump In With Out Knocking Many Balls out

My daughter-in-law used a similar size pool (round) and filled it with plastic balls and I want to say she used about 100-200, of you want to fill it up. Her pool was a little smaller now that I think about it. Fun for her 3 little boys and friends.

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.

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

We spread about 10 bags of play sand underneath the pool every year to keep things level and keep small rocks from breaking through (once filled the pool is heavy!). Hope this helps!

A lot but don't fill up the entire base. Just fill up about slightly more than half, then the rest water. The wet sand/water mix is enough to keep it pretty stable for ordinary striking routine.

My son puts gravel, dirt, and sand in his and doesn't have any problems but it is never completely full either

I bought this for my grand kids to play in at my house on their visits. It makes a hexagon shape and it spreads out just over about a 4 Ft. circle, so I would say you will need a good 5-6 Ft area to set it up in. The kids loved it and I always would find one curled up in it sleeping.

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'd say at least 500 if not more. I bought this for my daughter and we are having a hard time filling it up!

My Grandson's SKLZ is on their covered deck for a year and they have had no problem using/maintaining it there. I filled it with only sand and it seems to have plenty of weight. It takes some effort to work the sand to completely fill the base without water.

I purchased this table for our grandson. They did use both sides for sand. It doesn't need much sand to be fun. Too much and it will be more of a mess when adding toys. Enjoy!

We bought 200 pounds (4 bags) of "play" sand from Lowe's. We only put 150 pounds in the sandbox, saving one bag for re-filling later. I think Home Depot would have it also. Make sure you get pre-washed "play" sand, not construction sand.

My grandson uses it like play dough, making blocks for castles & houses. He also uses molds to make animals. It's been enough for him to play at his table indoors. The best part is that cleaning up is a snap since the sand sticks to itself. For my 5-year-old it's enough. The problems start when the grown-ups want to play too ;)
