In this video I will walk you through how I built this sandbox play area in the small area in our backyard. it features a standing sandbox with storage and a marble machine.
The plans and cut list will be available soon.
The materials can
be found in most home centers. and can be built in a with a few basic tools.
You can use a small
4 1/2-inch circular saw. with a speed square for most of the cuts. I will have
a video showing how to make cuts with this saw for this project.
a tape measure for
obvious reasons.
a drill and a
variety of bits.
pocket hole jig is not
necessary, but it helps.
building the maze
portion, you will need a level especially if the ground is uneven
a jigsaw with a
scrolling blade, an acrylic cutting blade and metal cutting blade or a hacksaw
for the aluminum rods
a step bit is
usually known for drilling metal, but I found that it works well for acrylic
sheets
hammer and nails,
and exterior screws
a heavy-duty staple
gun and staples are optional as well
I built this play
area before I decided to put videos up online but after I saw how much my son
loved it. I decided to make a video about it, and I created this 3d model so I
can show you how it was done.
