Frequently Asked Questions about Sandpit assembly in Honiton
Do wooden sandpits need treating?
Most arrive with basic factory treatment, but Devon weather is harsh. Additional child-safe wood preserver extends life significantly.
What goes under a sandpit?
Landscape membrane underneath is ideal - lets water drain but stops weeds. Raising slightly off grass with paving slabs helps drainage and reduces rot.
How much sand do I need?
A typical 1.2m square sandpit needs 150-200kg of play sand. That's usually 6-8 large bags. Sand delivery isn't included - the sandpit will be ready and waiting.
Why do sandpit lids matter?
Cats see uncovered sandpits as luxury toilets. A lid that fits properly keeps cats out, rain off, and debris away.
