If there is a lonely and ugly stump near your house, it can be turned into a beautiful sandbox.
Step 1: Template
First you need to prepare a sandbox template. Prepare a place where you can draw a pattern. It could be gender in the garage or somewhere else, the main thing is that there is a lot of space. Draw a sandbox shape that you would like to make. It all depends on your imagination.
Step 2: Transfer the template to the material
For the sandbox, you should choose a dense and solid material. Transfer your prepared template to it and cut it out. After that, it is necessary to cut the plywood across so that two separate parts are obtained.
Step 3: Upper Sides
From another piece of material, cut the upper edges in the same shape as on the template.
Step 4: Bending the plywood sides
Take the blanks and attach them to the base of the sandbox.
Step 5: Prepare the Stand
Now it’s worth preparing a stump. Cut it on all sides and make the top even. Stump should not be high. About 30 cm from the ground. If it is taller, cut it to the desired height.
Step 6: Make A Support Box
On the stump, make a support box on which the sandbox will stand.
Step 7: Install the Foundation
Set the base of the sandbox on a stump. After that, coat it with a special varnish for wood.
A small hole is recommended in the middle of the sandbox. This will help the structure to stay evenly and not break under heavy rain or wind.
Step 8: make a cover
Be sure to make a cover for the sandbox. This will protect the sand from rain and cats. Sand will always remain clean and dry.
