Simple 2×4 construction. I had leftover PT lumber from the pergola, so I whipped this little table up in a few hours. The only things I had to get was the sand and the handles, so total cost (in additional to what I had) was $15! As you can see, Andrew is already loving it.
The dimensions are 48 X 24 X 20 (L X W X H). I sprayed the leftover stain on to seal it, and I am hoping it does the trick for several years. I am going to build a cover for it soon, something to keep the cats and the rain out.

That’s a Neat idea. I have to wonder though, how long will all that sand stay in the elevated drawer/box? Kids being kids and all…

Sand tables are not a new idea, there are many on the market. I don’t really think it is much difference than any old sandbox, there is always that chance of kids throwing sand out. I guess the nice thing here is that to refill this is only a couple bucks! :)

Doug,
Cool toy.
May want to prepare yourself, though, to convert it to a raised dog feeder.
That kid …. is going to GROW !

Had a thought. put a roll type water proof window shade at one end then just pull it over sand for rain and cats. just an idea. i do like it nice job. With brains and scrape, no waste of wood.

This is really neat. Very nicely done. I would think the kids would come in with less sand all over them. Thanks for posting.
God Bless
