Professional sandpit cover fitting - keep cats out and sand clean. Essential protection for any sandpit where children play.
Cats Love Sandpits
Unfortunately. An uncovered sandpit is an outdoor litter tray to every cat in the neighbourhood. A proper cover is essential, not optional.
💡 Pro tip: Even with covers, check sand before play. Occasionally things get under. A quick rake before digging catches any issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sandpit cover in Exmouth
Why does a sandpit need a cover?
Cats use uncovered sandpits as litter trays. Not optional - toxoplasmosis from cat faeces is a real health risk for children. Cover it or expect cat mess.
What type of cover works best?
Solid lids keep everything out. Mesh covers let rain through but keep cats out. We'll advise based on your sandpit type and garden.
Can you make a custom cover?
We can fit off-the-shelf covers or make simple wooden lids for non-standard sandpits. Whatever keeps the cats out.
Does the cover need securing?
Weight or fixing helps - determined cats can shift light covers. Foxes too. Secured or weighted covers stay in place.
