Wooden sandbox with lid drawing. How to build a children's sandbox with your own hands

When there are children in the family, it is important to properly organize their leisure time, especially on suburban area when parents are busy in the garden. Landscaping a children's play area begins with an idea for decorating a sandbox with your own hands.

To date, many have been proposed interesting options- from multi-level structures in the form of ships with sails to the simplest tire circle. But it's not only important original design and convenience, but also the safety of a place for children to play excitingly.

What materials are used to build country sandboxes

A dacha is a place where, for the sake of economy, everything that was expected to be used in a garage, a shed, on a balcony and mezzanines is used.

Much of the deferred "just in case" is also suitable for a playground with a children's sandbox:

• bricks and foam blocks;
• wooden chocks and bars;
• cutting boards;
• old skis;
• pieces of tarpaulin and camouflage net;
• plastic bottles;
• bald tyres.

Availability suitable material determines the shape, size and height of the sides of the sandbox being built.

For maximum convenience and hygiene, it should have:

• lid;
• awning, canopy or "fungus";
• planes for laying out "pasochki";
• bench or seat;
• a place to store scoops, rakes, molds and buckets.

If necessary, some of the materials are purchased in addition. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the paint, which is used to open the sides of the sandboxes. It should be non-toxic, odorless, dry quickly and not stick to your fingers.

It is desirable to carry out painting work in the absence of children, showing the finished result as a gift, like a photo of a sandbox in bright colors.

The sandbox is needed not only to keep the child busy, it is useful for his development.

The construction of figurines develops spatial thinking, fine motor skills and creativity of the baby. Two or three companions in one sandbox - the opportunity to communicate and learn to build relationships.

If the children have too developed proprietary ambitions, it is advisable to build several departments with sand and give their own inventory.

The quality of sand in sandboxes in the country, as well as preschool institutions, has special requirements. Fresh river or quarry sand is best, which must be sieved to remove large fractions, glass and debris.

During the game, it gradually crumbles and spreads around the site, clogged with dust and garden vegetation. Over time, it is not only filled up, but also changed 2-3 times over the summer.

The children's sandbox should be closed from unexpected "visitors", and the polluted sand should be taken out of the site. A convenient sand cover is easy to build from leftovers old furniture, inflatable boats and other improvised materials.

Choosing a playground for a children's sandbox

It is desirable to ennoble a favorite place for children's games with sand. lawn or paving slabs much better than an abandoned lawn with roots and branches.

Ideally, a cultivated place with a green lawn, but gradually it will be covered with sand. A sandbox can be built among flower beds, right next to garden path in landscape design when there is no other place.

Note!

The best location for a playground is opposite the windows of the kitchen, where mom and grandmother often cook. The kid will be in sight, but no one will distract him from the exciting game.

Tip: If there is no suitable place at all (around the garden and vegetable garden), a mobile sandbox in the form of a box on wheels can be moved under the window or removed to another place along the hard surface of the courtyard.

But you need to be very careful when a car or motorcycle enters the yard.

Attention: It is undesirable to build a sandbox under a tree from which flowers, branches, leaves and ripe fruits are showered. Wasps and flies flock to rotting fruit, which are unsafe for children. Caterpillars can fall from branches. When treating trees from garden pests, toxic chemicals can get into the sandbox.

How to make an inexpensive country sandbox with your own hands

The simplest structure with a round shape is made from a large tire. In this case, sandbox drawings and additional costs are not needed.

• On the prepared site, mark the place where the tire with sand will stand.
• The bottom is fixed on the ground or an asphalted area with metal pins, it is possible to partially deepen the tire.
• The bottom of the “loose tank” is covered with a tarpaulin so that living creatures from the ground do not crawl into the sand.
• The surface of the tire is painted at its discretion, but can be left uncoated.
• It is desirable to install a bench and an awning nearby, but a beach umbrella is enough if the child rarely visits the country.

Note!

Another option is a classic square or rectangular sandbox with wooden sides. It is made from the remains of an edged board 20-30 cm high. For the most the simplest design you need a drawing to accurately calculate the consumption of materials and mark the sawing of the boards.

It is convenient for children when there are benches or triangular crossbars in the corners on the sides, on top there is an awning from the sun or a “fungus”, as in the photo.

For 2-3 kids, it is better to make a spacious sand box. Any design in the corners is fixed with pegs. It is better to pave the bottom with hollow bricks - excellent drainage and a solid base.

Children most of all like colorful sandboxes of free form made of stumps or in the form of attractive objects.

There are also more complex ideas for decorating a sandbox in landscape design - a whole children's town with slides and houses. For a structure, a rocket, a boat, a car or a tower, you need a lot of expenses and the hands of a master.

If there is no grandfather or father in the family who can make a real country masterpiece under the sand, you should not deny the baby such joy. You can invite a specialist from a specialized company by showing him a photo example from our gallery.

DIY sandbox photo

Your favorite baby is growing up, and it's time to think about a cozy children's corner in the country. What do kids love the most? Of course play! Create your own little family children's house, soar as high as possible on a swing, slide down a hill with delight and, of course, build sand castles and sandstones under the bright "fungus" of the sandbox. Here we will talk about building a nursery with our own hands.

It would seem, what is so difficult? He brought sand, fenced it with boards around the perimeter, leveled it - the sandbox is ready! But not everything is so simple. It is necessary to take into account many important nuances. What? Let's try to figure it out.

Sandbox placement

To do this, you can equip it not far from a sprawling tree, however, then you will have to regularly clear the site of foliage and twigs. If there are no suitable places with a shadow, you can install a “fungus” umbrella in the sandbox.

Preparing the base of the sandbox

Operating procedure:

1. Arm yourself with pegs, marking tape, cord.
2. Fence off the area around the perimeter.
3. Then remove a 30 cm layer of earth, and make a hole in the center of the sandbox 60-70 cm deep and 40-50 cm in diameter.
4. Fill it with rubble or pebbles, tamp it down a little - you get a kind of drainage well.
5. Make a slight slope from the sides of the sandbox to the center. Now, after heavy rains, your sandbox will not turn into a swamp and will dry quickly.
6. As a result, we got a rectangular hole measuring 170 × 170 × 30 cm with a slope towards the center.

Sandbox base

It is possible not to make a base, but then over time the sand will mix with the ground, and it will become uncomfortable for your kids to play. In addition, the base will block the way into the holy of holies of children's play and insects, which (oddly enough) also love sand. One caveat: the base should be laid on a pre-sprinkled sandy “cushion” 5-6 cm high.

Sandbox sides

Dig in the bars at the corners of the sandbox, deepening them by 15-20 cm, then nail the boards to them. If you do not have wide boards, you can make shields from narrow ones, for example, take 3 boards 10 cm wide for each wall of the sandbox. Then, along the perimeter of the sandbox, strengthen the horizontal seat pads, on which it is convenient to sculpt Easter cakes, where children can sit down to rest.

A lid for a sandbox is an optional, but very desirable attribute of a building so beloved by children. It will protect the sand from debris (dry foliage, twigs from nearby bushes and trees, and so on). And most importantly, it will not allow snow leopards and balls to use the sandbox as a toilet tray.

As a cover, you can use an awning, which will have to be constantly pulled over the sandbox. And you can make a cover from the boards, which is much more convenient with frequent use.

The oar cover for a sandbox made of two boards is very convenient. Shields are fastened with articulated loops, supplied with handles. When unfolded, they turn into comfortable benches with backs.
