Covered Sandboxes – Options 1 and 2

Below is the tutorial for Option 1. Scroll Down to see Option 2.

Tools needed:

  • power drill
  • power saw
  • sander (optional)
  • paint brush

Materials:

  • 8 – 2″ x 4″ x 8′ pieces of wood
  • 2 – 2″ x 6″ x 8′ pieces of wood
  • 1 piece of plywood (optional for bottom)
  • a box of 2 1/2″ screws (stainless are ideal)
  • 3-4 stainless steel door hinges
  • sand paper
  • 1 jug/can of wood sealant or exterior paint
  • 6-8 bags of beach sand

You will need basic construction skills and a few power tools, namely a saw and drill. We encourage you to use salvaged lumber, if you can get your hands on it. The finished box is a little under 4′ x 4′ closed and 4′ x 8′ open, you will need a level space of this size.

This incredible DIY project was brought to us by Carla and Jason of Small & Friendly. Carla, a modern homemaker, is a “crafty, cookin’ DIY mama,” whose adorable son Jude loves the sandbox his daddy made for him.
