I just bought this from Sams Club for $160. Different colored awning and plastic tubs but design is exactly same. Box say 14 50lb bags. We actually used 17. Haven't seen how it will last but the quality out of the box was very good. Nothing broken or needing sanding.

If you have not already purchased this item, my advice would be to look elsewhere for a sandbox. In the picture, it is cute, however, the quality of the construction is extremely poor and given the pricetag it's not worth the cost. When my purchase arrived, we had to repair several boards, sand the entire thing, and it lasted for one season. And sorry, I don't remember how much sand, but I think it was several large bags worth.

I have an 8 lb. bag of soil and it would take probably another 4 lbs to fill it up. I put rocks in the bottom of my 2 to weigh them down as they are light and the wind could knock them over. Maybe with rocks as weight and drainage, the 8 lb. bag would work.I have ours outside at the front door and they look great! I also painted ours a bronze color.

Recommended was 150 lbs. So three 50lb bags. That's what we used and it works out great.

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.

You could use bricks in the sand anchors instead of sand, or plastic water bottles filled with water or sand. Anything heavy that will fit in the anchor bag will do.

Cathy, perhaps you read the description incorrectly. 25lbs of ZeoSand is the equivalent of 50lbs of regular sand. You only need half as much. Also, when you put it in, before you turn it on filter, be SURE to backflush until the water is CRYSTAL clear.

Its takes about 50 pounds of sand. We brought 2 40# bags from our local pool store and it cost us about $30.00 and we didn't use it all. Hope this helped this is a great filter.

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.

Absolutely,, play ground sand which I seem to recall one bag is 40lbs. I combined sand and several bricks which may have totaled a bit under the recommended weight ? I think they recommend 80lbs..so I would encourage using at least the minimal recommended wght to minimize issues. I mean once it's together you're not gonna want to take it apart. I have had NO PROBLEM and I am very satisfied with this product.

The instructions I have is for 100 lbs. There is a min and max line inside the filter. I used zeolite sand in mine and it claims 50lbs of that equals 100 lbs of regular sand. I'm considering switching to regular sand. Just haven't decided wich brand yet. Hope this helps. Any other questions please feel free to ask.

The bottom should be up to 50 lbs. but I think it can be as heavy as you want

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 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.

Yes. One 50-lb bag is just about a perfect fit. Makes it very easy to gauge how much concrete you'll need.

I comes in one 50lb box but the clay is inner packed in two 25lb bags. I just pull off the amount needed for each project and close the bag to store.

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!

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