Sandlock Sandboxes CSG-60120 Sandbox

VERY easy to set up. Designed with simplicity (and quality) in mind, it comes through. I am not a Mr Fix It by any stretch and this was a painless set up. Just be prepared for the amount of sand required. I have a few more trips to the store for sand (should have had a delivery).

We bought this for our 3 year old son, and he loves the sand box. it's very easy to assemble. i did it in about 15 minutes. no tools require. Great product

This was easy to assemble and our students love them!

Super easy to put together and seems well made. We've had it for about 6 weeks and the only complaint is that the cover is already sun bleaching. I'm not sure how much longer it'll hold before it starts wearing out

I'll start with the good.This sandbox is huge, easy to install and comes with a vented cover to keep out the neighborhood cats. For the Spring summer season this gave my kids and many others hours of enjoyment until...Problem #1 The coverThe cover works well at keeping out the cats however, towards the end of the season the chipmunks found they can use this as a home and gladiator arena. I always inspect the sand before letting the kids play, I opened the sandbox up one sunny day to find chipmunk footprints, burrow holes and body parts. They slipped in under the cover, since it does not fit snugly around the perimeter. I now have over 2,500lbs of sand that smells like rotting chipmunk waste and needs to be replaced. I keep the cover on tight, pulled down to the ground level and elevated by 3 balls in the center to allow for water drainage. This is not an issue with how the cover is put on, it's an issue with the connecting areas that allow for a 3" area for chipmunks to climb in and fight for this private territory. Also note the chipmunks are not burrowing in from underneath. My original intention was to build my own sandbox so I created a 11' x 6' x 5" deep pad of rock to level the sandbox. The pad is 3" depth of large drainage rock topped by 2" of tamped gravel which does not allow chipmunks to burrow up from below.Problem #2 The sidesThe sandbox is filled about 2" from the top with Quickcrete play sand, the sides have bowed out a few inches. The large nails keep the sides in place at the bottom, but the tops are curving outward. It's holding together but this just speaks for the design of the product.Final ThoughtsAfter about 5 months I now regret taking the lazy way out and buying this. I have 2500lbs of unsafe play sand to get rid of, I'm out almost 500 bucks + sand costs and I need to build my own sandbox for next season.

I bought this for my grandsons and they love it! So do their parents. Also, it has a cover, which is perfect.

We bought this for our backyard, and our kids (8 and 4) love it! Along with every other kid that come over. We had our landscaper install it so, I can review that, but we put it next to our fence and put to too close that two of the stools don't fit now. Totally our fault and not the sandbox. We had our landscaper bring in plays and he used the skid steer to fill it up. We love that we got the 5x10 it fits 4 (big) kids easily.

Shipping was earlier which was much appreciated as this was for my son's birthday. My son and his friends had so much fun. Plenty of room for everyone. Easy to assemble!
