mudechevy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 We purchased sand for our sandbox by the truckload through the phone book. Look up the guys that deliver mulch, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy410 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Pretty sure its only a couple of dollars for a 50 lb bag. I know its not more than $5.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyers12345 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 it is less than $3.50 for a 40 lb bag at WM. We bought tons this year for the pool. Shoulda bought by the truckload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazolover Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 We purchased ours at TRU, but I know you can get a much better sand from Lowes or HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droolbug2 Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Just got back from Home Depot and I got my sand. 150lbs for only $10. They had the worst customer service!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Well, its size being a turtle = buy by the bag i.e.: "Play Sand" which is at most major stores (WM/L's/HD). Just in case.... When building a 10'x14' sand box, lining with tar paper & other various sundries, if you think 'by the bag will fill up, sure=$$$$. THEN you buy by the truckload, which is really easy, you pay for the sand (2 tons) and you pay for the truck/driver. The two other considerations will be:1) Travel in and around your yard (ruts, avoiding leach field/septic systems, etc....), and; 2) The sand better be close by, cause you are going to spend alot of time shoveling!!! I finally tore ours down after 10+ years and the sand came in handy for several projects so no waste... but alot of shoveling again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakmom Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I bought my son a turtle sandbox and am wondering on the best/cheapest place to buy sand.Just a reminder to keep the lid on! If a neighborhood kitty decides to use the sandbox as a catbox, you'll be replacing all of that sand. It's a serious health hazard for the kids to play where an animal has pooped. Believe me, it's no fun dumping the whole thing and replacing it all. After a while I started just putting in 1 or 2 bags at a time so that it could be easily replaced. I'd rather have them play in a little less sand that's fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
