Children's sandbox with roof drawing. How to make a nursery sandbox with a lid and with your own bench. Types of children's sandboxes for giving

From the sandbox, the device of a full-fledged children's playground, consisting of many elements (slides, swings, house), which will be added as the child grows.

According to parents, the sandbox is a place for games where you can take a child for a long time. Psychologists claim that the sandbox for children plays an important role: the hands of the hands are developing, creative abilities are formed, perseverance and patience appears.

Before dealing, how to build a children's sandbox in the country, you need to get acquainted with what kinds of types are types, and choose the appropriate option for specific conditions.

Types of children's sandboxes for giving

Sandboxes for children are two varieties:

1. According to constructive features:

open sandbox (simple design);

closed sandbox. Popular among users, since it allows to ensure sand protection from: garbage, rain, wind, animals. In addition, the children's sandbox with a lid protects sand from weathered, allows you to store under the lid toys (Children's inventory: Paddy, Sockeys, Shovels, Rakes, etc.), and can also serve as an additional playground for the game (if transformed into the table and chairs ).

2. By manufacturing material:

plastic, metal, wooden

Each of the materials has its advantages and disadvantages.

Plastic sandbox

Does not overheat in the sun, has a compact size, easy, convenient to move, transport, and during the lack of absence can be hidden in a hosposka or garage. Among the shortcomings are instability to ultraviolet, high cost.

Metal sandbox

Provides long-term use, but is not safe for children, as well as corrosion and laboriousness in manufacturing.

Wooden sandbox

The optimal option, since the tree is environmentally friendly, safe and accessible.

Therefore, we consider how to build a children's sandbox from a tree - independent technology using sweater materials (funds). Let's start with the open, since it is the most easily implemented option for beginners without construction experience. Manufacturing will take only a few hours, and in the presence of a competent drawing, the cover to it can be attached at any time.

How to make a sandbox with your own hands - step-by-step instruction

Stage 1 - Drawing of a sandbox of a tree

Despite the fact that the design is simple, the detailed scheme of the sandbox to allow rationally to calculate the amount of material, and choose the right place to install.

Often, the sandbox from the tree is the square of the specified height, which enhances the sand from the plenty.

Sandage drawings (for simple design) is shown below.

The design can be more complex: including chairs, shops, tables, lid, roof, slide, etc. Or a sandbox, made in the form of a car (car), a ship boating, a door-castle.

The scheme below gives an idea of \u200b\u200bwhich sandbox is in the form of a machine (sandbox machine).

In any case, the functional purpose of the basic design is the same - a fencing that protects sand.

Council. Planning the construction of the sandbox should be taken into account for which the number of children it will be calculated.

2 Stage - material for sandbox

The table lists a list of building materials with dimensions and quantities for the manufacture of a simple sandbox with dimensions of 1500x1500 mm, 300 mm high.

Lumber	Purpose	number	Note
Bar 50 * 50 * 450	Corner element	4 things.	Bar 150 mm. processed by antiseptic
Board 30 * 150 * 1600	Side walls Sandboxes	8 pcs.	Carefully grind and covered with a primer for a tree.
Board 30 * 150 * 1600	Frames for seating, folding toys, etc.	4 things.	It grinds and covered with primer for wood.
Self-tapping screws, 45 mm.	For fastening	50 pcs.
Geotextiles	For the bottom	2 rolls	Can be replaced by film
Antiseptic	For wood processing
Primer for wood	To protect wood
Paint	For staining	1 bank (1 liter)	Oil or acrylic
For a closed sandbox (with a lid), you will additionally need
Bar 30 * 30 * 1600		2 pcs.	The timber is poured into parts depending on the width of the lid
Board 20 * 125 * 1600 or plywood, 18 mm.		12 pcs. sheet
Piano loops (canopies)		4 things. 8 pcs.	for folding lid For the cover transforming in the seating
Pens		2 pcs.

Material prepared for WWW.Site site

the length of the timber depends on the height of the sandbox, which, in turn, is determined by the age of the child. The height of the sandbox should be such that the child can step over to it. The optimal height is 300 mm (150 mm remains for docking and fixing the design).

the thickness of the boards should be at least 30 mm. This will provide sufficient structure strength and will save the tree from cracking.

plywood is indispensable in the manufacture of complex structures, such as the sandbox in the form of a ship (ship). It is made of shaped products round, oval shape.

boards are better to handle before starting the installation. Thus, there will be no unprotected parts of the lumber.

Tool: saw, grinding machine, drill, drills, screwdriver, pencil, roulette, level, pegs and rope, paint brushes.

3 Stage - Place Marking for Sand

selects space for installation. With the help of stakes and ropes, the external perimeter of the structure is denoted;

inside the outlined square is chosen to the depth of 300-400 mm. You can do without it and pour sand over the soil, but it will quickly come into disrepair, because it is mixed with the soils during the game. In addition, ants and other insects may be launched in it;

drainage is satisfied - a tightly rammed pillow of rubble / gravel and sand. The pillow will allow water freely to drain into the ground, and the sand is faster to dry. Additionally, users recommend laying geotexyl, it does not interfere with the flow of water, but protects sand from the bottom from insects or moles.

Council. When using polyethylene, you need to drill holes in it for water drainage.

Many users complain that they appear puddles around the sandbox after the rain. This is eliminated by arranging the pillow and the perimeter of the sandbox - drainage laid on 400-500 mm. Around the sandbox will allow water to quickly drain down.

4 Stage - the manufacture of children's sandbox with their own hands

Brief construction technology:

in the corners designated by the rope, stakes are pounded - the support of the future sandbox;

each side is installed on one, coated with an antiseptic board;

then the second row of boards is nailed;

for the arrangement of seats on the top of the design, the treated boards (2 from opposite sides, 4 on each side) or a corner of plywood are installed horizontally - the most fiscal option.

Council. It is important to ensure that the hats of the screws are reliably recessed into the wood and did not serve as the injury.

Second option how to make a sandbox from a tree

The method involves a few other order of work, namely: first the manufacture of sandboxes, then preparing the place of installation and the further installation of the sandbox. Such an option is convenient when the work is carried out together, because The design, though light, but quite cumbersome and one to install it in this order is inconvenient.

Step-by-step instructions for the manufacture of sandbox with their own hands (master class) is shown in the photo.

5 Stage - Production of the Lid for Sandbox

Since, children's sandbox with a lid for giving a more attractive option - Consider how to make a lid for the sandbox.

The easiest option will be a removable cover, which is a chopping board from the board, but its essential drawback is necessary to remove the cover before the game.

Therefore, it is more expedient to make a design with two doors, which are transformed (open and folded) in seats. The photo below shows two variants of the device for sandboxes - folding and transforming into the seat. Pay attention to the two extreme boards on both sides - stationary. They are reliably fixed, it will allow the child and even to sit on the lid, without fearing it to break.

Sandbox option with an awning (soft lid, twisted into a roll)

6 Stage - Device Roof for Sandbox

Taking into account the fact that children want to play in the sand at any time of the day, you need to take care of protecting them from direct sunlight. To do this, over the sandbox you need to install a visor. It can be a beach umbrella or a stationary roof made in the form of fungus / canopy.

7 Stage - Sand for Children's Sandbox

How to choose sand for sandbox?

It should be noted that GOST (18322-78 (ST SES 5151-85) and GOST R 52301-2004) regulate the requirements for the maintenance of equipment of playgrounds, but do not contain recommendations for sand, except that the sale of sand needs to provide certificates.

However, users have determined which sand for sandboxes is needed and the following requirements are imposed on it:

lack of extraneous impurities / subjects;

good sweeping;

dobiality. Small particles of sand (fractions less than 0.1 mm) can get into the lungs of the child. To eliminate them, the sand is usually washed and dried or sifted through a very fine sieve;

formability (good to be pulled out into the oak);

humidity. Sand should be dry;

hygienicity. The sand should not contain livery (bugs, spiders, worms, etc.).

What sand is better for sandbox

Choosing the sand better to give preference:

river, not career. He is cleaner in itself;

sifted, not containing foreign objects;

quartz sand is the perfect option. It is clean and well.

Finished sand for children's sandboxes can be bought in the store. The presence of a quality certificate guarantees its purity and no impurities.

How much sand is needed in the sandbox?

In order to fill the sandbox with a size of 1500x1500 mm. It is necessary to prepare about 0.5 m.Kub. Sand.

The average price per bag (25 kg) sand for children's sandbox is given in the table.

How and where to correct the children's sandbox

For the sandbox to serve for a long time and did not imagine threats to children, you need to adhere to several recommendations in its manufacture and installation:

do not use metal elements;

do not leave the boards are unlocked;

ensure the existence of a shadow;

place in well viewed place;

ensure the absence of barbed shrubs, plants of honeycomb and allergens;

use high-quality wood and other building elements;

provide reliable fastening;

lack of electrical wiring, hoses, pipes, etc.

Conclusion

A wooden sandbox with a lid or open is an opportunity not only to please the child, but also to show their creative abilities. And the sandbox in the form of a table, the car, hexagon or round - not only will make a child, but will allow you to decorate country cottage area An extraordinary, creative design.

It is proposed to get acquainted with the project of a universal sandbox - the beach, for a private house or cottage.

Easy in the manufacture, design, is a multifunctional transformer with elements that change the position by purpose. In essence, this is a mini beach with all attributes for recreation children on the shore of the reservoir. That's just, placing this sandbox, you can anywhere.

Materials, for the manufacture of this miracle, are publicly available and not expensive. When selecting materials, it should be noted that the sandbox can be in the open air, the whole year. At least the whole season, with any weather.

Of course, the proposed design, easily, as mounted, is dismantled. But still, materials, it is better to choose, resistant to atmospheric influences.

Covers of functional compartments: sand tanks, water tanks and toy storage, use as shortcomings, transitions or stands for games - Additional amenities.

The exact dimensions of the parts and parameters of the design are shown in the figure:

OPERATING PROCEDURE:

In the work need instruments: Electr jigsaw or simple wooden hacksaw, screwdriver or screwdriver set, electric drill or coalt with a set of drills, clamp, ruler, wrench keys.

Materials: Grinding board, plywood, selflessness, washers, bolt Ceremonary, fabric, chest

Manufacturing, begin with internal and lateral partitions. When assembling upper coatings and covers, you must provide uniform gaps between the boards. To do this, before fixing the boards to the base, we lay the pieces of plywood between them 5 mm.

All removable covers need to be equipped with rope handles.
Holder for awning, think based on the dimensions and location of the sandbox. The design of the canopy is not to complicate. You can perform in the form of an easily fixed cape.

On surface parts, before screwing off the screws or screws, screwing off, it is necessary to "remove". That is, go through these places shallow, drill greeting than a self-pressing hat, diameter. It is necessary in order to have screwed screws, entered the tilt. Not sticking on the surface of the boards, sharp edges. Safety of children - first of all.

After operation, the fully assembled sandbox, you can additionally cover with an awning.

The standard sandbox for kids up to 5 years has a square shape and size 2x2 m. However, the choice of size and shape is limited to your fantasy. If desired, make a drawing or a scheme of the intended game location and bring the size of length, width, height there. Draw the shape and additional details (umbrella, roof, partitions, seats). After that, it will be much easier for you to calculate the amount of desired building material.

Tip: The sandbox shape does not have to be in the form of geometric shapes. A variety of sailboats and ships, flowers and even sandy labyrinths will decorate a plot not worse than design items. Choose various scenery for sandboxes that will complete its image.

So that the child does not overheat, it is better to make a sandbox with a canopy

An interesting option will make a whole sand labyrinth

Choose natural construction Materials For the construction of a children's corner: Birch or pine boards will be an excellent choice. You will also need bars, protective impregnation for wood, varnishes or paint, geotextile or agrofiber.

Tools Take the following:

Sander;
Screwdriver or hammer;
Self-tapping screw or nails;
Saw:
Shovel.

Third Stage: Preparation of the Basics

At the corners of the selected section, drive the pegs and pull the rope. Inside the fenced area, remove the upper fertile soil layer with a depth of about 30 cm.

For the sandbox, you need to choose high-quality sand

Sand can be poured already on the earthen basis, but this will create difficulties in the future: the sand will be stamped and polluted. To avoid this, between the earth and the sand make a gasket from the "breathable" materials. To do this, it is recommended to use agrofiber or geotextiles that are well missed moisture and protect the sandbox from plants and soil animals. For these purposes, a polyethylene film or plywood will go, but using them, to do in them in them for ventilation.

So that the plants did not germinate and the moisture did not accumulate, the sand is better to lay on geotextiles

Then prepare the tree: Carefully polish each board, bars (to reduce the risk of getting a non-Branch or scratch), cover their surface with protective impregnation.

At the corners of the pit, take the bars to the depth of 20-25 cm and attach pre-treated boards to them around the perimeter. They can be wide and narrow. If desired, for strength, the carcass corners are strengthened by the residues of the bar.

Children's sandbox with their own hands closing protects against precipitation

And for kids, and for parents will be convenient if the seats of sides will be touched on the edges to the sandbox, as shown in the figure. In the future, children will be able to sculpt their masterpieces on them and put them on the showcase or sit and relax.

Staining the sandbox, if desired, is easily turning into a real creative process. Cool it along with children with all the colors of the rainbow or limit the strict one-photon style. Color of paint is a matter of taste, and all parents decide this question based on their preferences.

Sandbox with your own hands - excellent additions for any playground

These owners decided to withstand a monophonic design.

You can emphasize for a long time without fashion color natural tree. Such a sandbox is universally suitable for any design of the site and pleasantly pleased with the eyes.

It is interesting to paint the sandbox with bright drawings, they will love your babies.

But the most interesting and original option It will, of course, staining the sandbox with all the colors of the rainbow. The baby will come delighted with the variety of bright colors, and they will be charged good mood for all day.

Safes and seats can be decorated with drawings of animal figures, plants, favorite cartoon characters, geometric figures or even original ornament. Such an unusual design will like the baby, and you will develop his informative skills. He himself can decorate a gameplay, developing creative abilities and fantasy.

Sandbox from the tire can be covered with rain and garbage film

Lid for sandbox

Extremely needed detail For the playing area - the cover. She will protect the sand from bad weather (rain, snow, strong wind), will prevent his pollution with various garbage: branches, leaves, plastic bottles And others. It is important that the fact that if the sandbox is reliable to be covered, it will exclude the possibility of getting feces of stray or pets in the sand, and you can quietly let go of the baby walk, without fear of his health.

Interesting fact. The lid performs not only protective function, but also decorative. Various design solutions For its design will give the originality of the design.

The easiest option of the lid for the playground is the awning that stretches when the child finished playing until the next walk. For this purpose, you can apply a polyethylene film. But such a shelter has a disadvantage: unreliability. Both awning and film are easily damaged, not resistant to weather conditions.

Reliable and distributed sandbox shelter option is a wooden cover. There are three options here:

Lid-shield: the initial boards nourish the bars, carefully extinct size. This is a very simple design structure, but the child itself will not be able to open and close the sandbox.
Cover-door: Made two shields suitable size In exactly the same way, which is attached to the sides of the sandbox with the help of loops, and the handles are nourished from above. This design looks original, and the child will be able to easily open and close the lid.
Cover-transformer. Unusual I. practical solutionWhen the lid when opening forms a bench. For this, the initial boards are rigidly fixed to the sides of the sandbox, and the subsequent mounted with the help of loops so that the seat with the back is formed when folding. This design does not require high costs of strength and energy, and the resulting result will pleasantly surprise and please.

Sandbox can be in the form of a table

Canopy for sandbox

So that the child comfortably felt at the time of the game when it's hot on the street and the scorching sun, it is recommended to install a sunscreen canopy into the sandbox. As already mentioned, the playground is better to post in a half, but if it is impossible to do, the canopy will become an excellent solution to the problem.

Simple and efficient shelter from direct sunlight - umbrella. This is not a stationary canopy, so it will be necessary to clean it daily after the walk and fix and move as the sun moves during the game.

Another option of a canopy is a tarp awnings, reinforced on wooden racks. But more reliable stationary wooden canopy roof, fixed on wooden racks. In this photo, we apparently combined: wooden roofCovered with tarpaulin trend. This design is light and air, but at the same time reliable.

Canopy - mushroom for sandbox

A decorative solution will be a canopy in the form of "fungus", familiar to us from childhood. This will require one wooden rack to which several triangular plywood sheets fix so that a kind of umbrella resembles a mushroom hat. Painting such a fungus, you can give fantasy will, and it will turn out decorative decoration for country plot.

Sand selection for children's sandbox

The selection of sand is suitable. There are three options here:

River sand, which until today is considered the most appropriate. It is natural, does not contain harmful impurities and outsiders, clean. All looked sea castles as a child, resting on the river bank. The child will be delighted with the opportunity to build the same structures without waiting for the ride to the lake.
Quartz sand. It is acquired in construction stores. A good option, but it is not natural and can contain harmful building impurities in its composition.
Sands with elevated clay content. These are special children's sands that are suitable for modeling, thanks to a special composition. Special substances can add to it that can drive out stray animals from sandboxes.

Sand is better to choose without pebbles and impurities

Interesting fact. Psychologists have been proven that the sand suppresses negative emotions, negative energy, acting soothing on humans and his nervous system.

Before falling down the sand on the playground, be sure to ask him. So you will be sure that there are no foreign objects in the sandbox. You will need about 1 ton of sand. Suggest in advance the amount of the order, do not be discouraged if you order more than necessary. Remember that the sand is also a universal construction material.

Show fantasy and make an unforgettable children's Corner On your site! He will delight the baby, decorate the design of the countryside, and you will always find than to take a child.

Sandbox with their own hands

40 photos of ideas:

Little children love to mess in the sand. To provide them with such an opportunity, at home and in the country, caring adults put sandboxes. Of course, there are on sale ready, but the price is not at all children. The best way is the sandbox made by hand. With its manufacture you will certainly try to take into account all the features and addiction of your child.

From what can be done sandbox

The most popular material for the construction of children's sandboxes is wood. It can be edged boards, logs of small diameter, timber, block house. Basically from this and Mastery. To work faster, you can buy polished materials. They cost more, but have a smooth surface. If you want to save, take ordinary materials, then manually or with the help of grinding, bring everything to the perfect state.

You can use Phaneur (Moisture) or OSB (OSP). Not all love them, for the presence of glue and harmful evaporation (formaldehyde). But in the air, these allocations are not scary, and you can also use the material with the E0 or E1 emission class. It guarantees safety - from such a material make children's furniture. With plywood and OSB, it is convenient to work: cut out the necessary part forms, twisted them together, processed the ends and can be painted.

In the country, you can use a healthy material. For example, plastic bottles. Only that they keep them, they are attached to the board: nailed with a certain step of the cover, bottles are screwed into them. Having received one "sidewall", take a piece of thick wire equal to the double length of the sidewall + 20 cm, pour a wire bottle with a backing up about 5-7 cm below, turn the wire up and poured in the opposite direction from above. Ends twist, trying to hide "tails".

Approximately it will be necessary to "flash" wire bottles

Such a twist is obtained only on one side - with the other simply bent wire. When you put the sidewalls, put so that the "tails" are closed with a bottle. The finished sidewalls of the sandboxes from bottles are installed in shallow ditch, sprinkle the board and the narrowing bottom of the bottles of the soil, is well tumped. On the bottom you can throw a sheet of plywood, and on top of the sand.

The second most popular material for the dacha. Make them and sandboxes. Need to cut the sidewall on one side old tire. It turns out quite high sides. Next there are two ways:

In any case, cuts will have to secure. In some tires, the cord (reinforcing fiber) plastic, in some - metallic. The plastic can be seized, but the metallic will have to somehow close.

For the manufacture of the sandbox, you can use dried trees in pieces of trunks. Of these, it turns out a very interesting and quite reliable fence. Before you boil, wood needs to be processed - so that it serves longer. There are modern impregnations with a simultaneous tinting effect. Conveniently. Processed hemps need to dry, but for now they dry dig around the perimeter of the future sandbox. Its depth is at least 20-25 cm. It is not worth doing less - a bastard will walk on hemp, because they should hold well. In the ditch to insert the shell to the log, align, fill the gaps of the ground and fasten well.

From the logs you can make a fence for the sandbox of a traditional type. To the ground put the base: a piece of linoleum, for example, in which to make several holes - for water drain after the rain. On the basis of putting a log, making a rectangle / square from them. You can bind them with long nails, but reliable studs - steel rods with threads at both ends. Under them it will be necessary in the place of connection logs to drill a hole. Diameter - slightly larger diameter of the hairpin. The edges of the opening will drill - so that you can drown nuts with washers. Insert the rod into the hole, to wear the washers at both ends, tighten all the nuts.

From above, you can make benches - one or two boards and beads for kids are ready. Of course, they are rarely sitting on them. More often build their sandy locks on them.

How to do Sandbox: Step-by-step instructions

To begin with, we will understand general principles Production of sandboxes of any design. With some modifications, they repeat every time.

Step one. Choosing a place . The place must be chosen so that the part of the sandbox is in the shade, part - in the sun. If it is impossible, put on a sunny place, and we make a canopy over it. Please note that there are no large trees or bushes nearby. They, of course, give a good shadow, but the leaves will be raised with them, and the sand will have to be sissing often.

Do not put a sandbox on a strong sun, it should not be in the corner where there is no air movement at all. But she is also not a place on the draft. Another important moment: if you plan to produce a baby to play the water yard yourself, the place for games should be well viewed from the window of that room where you spend most of the time.

Step second. Marking . If the sandbox is rectangular, they use pegs and tensioned between them. Knocked out the pegs, measuring the required dimensions ( standard size Children's sandbox for children from 2 to 5 years - 1.7 m * 1.7 m). Between them stretched twine, rope, cord. They checked the diagonal so that the angles were directly they should be equal.

If the sandbox is with rounded corners or sidewalls, it is possible to draw an arc with sand, baked in a bag. In the corner of the bag cut through a small hole and in this way "draw" the required form.

Step 3. Copy pitted. Remove the turne, and take to the side, we remove a little soil, cleaner the roots, cleaning the stones along the course. The depth of the pit is 20-30 cm.

Getting to the land work - the couch of the pit

In the middle of the sandbox, make a small square of greater depth: with a side of about 60 cm and a depth of another 30-40 cm (the total depth of this fox will be 60-70 cm). In the pit, put the rubble. It will be a "water removal system." If you form a small slope from the edges, the sand will dry after the rains quickly.

Step 4. Place the basis.

At the bottom of the resulting pit, we plucked some sand (5-6 cm), aligning it well. Now you need to put the base. Most the best way -. This is a nonwoven material, very durable to the gap. He will not give to germinate the grass, will not allow the mixture of sand with the ground. If he is heading for the edges of the pit, he also will "keep" without giving her to fall when the rain is inside.

If the geotextile was not found, it is possible to lay a piece of plywood or linoleum. Only in them you need to cut through several holes (with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm) for water drain.

Sandbox do it yourself: step-by-step photo reports

No matter how simple the design does not seem, as it comes to incarnation, questions appear. To be less than, we publish several models of homemade sandboxes with step-by-step photos, imprinted the main nodes.

Simple design

The simplest thing to do is to knock down a rectangle or a square of the boards. For the sandbox, the normal side of the square is 1.7 m. So you need 4 or 8, 12 boards of such a length. Dimensions do more, you can less - choose for you. The number of rows of boards depends on their width and on how high you want to do it.

If, as described earlier, they dug up 25 cm, then poured 5 cm of sand, it turned out a deepening 20 cm. If you want the sides to perform from the ground by 10 cm (for children 2 years it is convenient, for older you can from 20 cm And above), the total height is obtained 30 cm. If the board is 10 cm wide, it will take 3 tiers (boards, respectively 3 rows * 4 pieces \u003d 12 pcs).

You will also need a bar with a cross section of 40 * 40 mm. It will need to be selected into pieces equal to the height of sandbox sideboard. In our case, it is 30 cm. We need 4 pcs. The total length of the required timber - 1.2 m. All lumber is well grinding, then impregnate protective impregnationsOtherwise, wood will quickly lose sight.

We take two boards, fold at an angle of 90 °. In place of the junction, we put the bar, both boards nail with nails or screw the screws - two for each mount. To one of the ends, put the next board, put the bar and repeat the operation. So collect the first row. It will look like the photo on the left.

The second and third row are collected by analogy. For each connection, we put two metrics (nail or self-pressing). Just follow the heads and not sticking out the tip.

After the required height is collected, we can assume that the sandbox is made with their own hands. But, as always, now I want to add something to the kids to be more comfortable. They usually like to sculpt the culberies, and for them you need a platform. You can nail in the corners with small triangles from plywood or also collected from sliced \u200b\u200bboards. Another option is to nourish two longitudinal boards. They are perfectly installed on bars in the corners. In them, and rod nails.

Add comfort

In continuing the topic "Improvements" of sandboxes. Every time we carry home toys that are saved in the sand - not very nice. The problem is solved simply: extinguish a piece of toys. Convenient and your child. An additional wall is placed, which is also attached to the existing Brucks.

Extinguish the compartment under toys - put an extra wall

And so that there was no temptation to squeeze the sand there, you can come up with a lid. It will be possible to sit on it, but you can - build the kulichiki.

A couple of boards, a little fantasy and the usual box turns into the car. Such exactly will like the boys.

Sandbox transformer with folding lid

Construction begins in the same way as described earlier: a box of boards is going. All focus in the design of the lid. You will need more boards on the lid and loops - four ordinary door and four with one long shelf.

In our example, 6 boards went on each side of the lid. Fucked them in pairs. First, two boards beat the finished box with one and on the other side.

To them, screwed a short shelf loop, similar to barn. Two boards also attached to the long shelf. It is important that the second is attached to at least half the width, otherwise it can turn it out.

We screw to the usual door loops the next board. Shelves are on the other hand. Then it turns out that the second part of the lid leans in the other direction. The second board is attached to the assisted bar fixed. It is stuffed from two sides at a distance of about 15 cm from the edge.

So that the covered cover did not press on the loop, the extra cut of the board is stuffed on the first two boards. It serves as a support, when loading the board does not bend.

According to the experience, it can be said that, under the seats, children almost do not play: uncomfortable. To use this area is more rational, it can be burned under the compartment for toys. More plus such a solution - sand will take less.

In this example, dokeses are painted by impregnation, which simultaneously gives wood color. If there is a desire, you can use the usual shelter paint. Just take for wood, for outdoor work. Otherwise, after a couple of rains, it will go with bubbles or crack. Using paint, you can paint the sandbox in more "maiden" colors., Although impregnations can also be different colorBut they just give a shade.

Sandbox-ship.

For boys, you can make a sandbox boat or ship. The main "body" is built as usual, all other superstructures are attached to it.

In this option, it was decided to make a sandbox low. A triangle is attached to the knocked housing - the nose of the future ship. It is significantly higher than the main part. So that the boards hold firmly, in the ground are driven by 60 cm deep into two boards on each side. The boards nailed to them. In the corners, they are also fastened, but only among themselves - nails (broke the macock).

Since the height difference turned out to be significant, a staircase was made to the nose. The top will sew the board, the masts are strengthened.

There are only left finishing work and snap. After some time, it was decided to make an extension on the stern - and the place, hide from the sun, and put a box for toys there. Put the poles from the bar, were cut out the sized plywood. In the final version, the ship looked like this.

Approximately the same technology worked with another boat.

Sheds

It is not always possible to put a sandbox in a half. More often put in the sun, and then make shading - some canopy or umbrella. There are a lot of interesting designs of such canopies that quickly and easily do.

Perhaps the easiest in realization, this canopy: two racks are attached in the middle, between them - cross. The dense tan is thrown through the crossbar and is attached to the lubricated loops.

This canopy is extremely harder. Four racks are required. They are topped with planks - make upper strapping. Size sew awning and stretch it. You can mount at least with buttons, even decorative nails. The main thing is to take the opportunity to remove it on the autumn.

This roof is slightly complicated. Triangles are fixed to the upper strapping of racks - slinge system. They are connected at the top by the longitudinal bar, which is correctly called "Konk" and put backups in the middle. Under soft tile, which is used in this case, nourish the Fanur or OSP, and the roofing material is already laid from above.

Pay attention to the decor of the sandbox itself: around the perimeter driven / discharges birch chocks, which are from the inside closed by boards: so that the bark pecking does not fall into the sand. Quite an interesting decision.

Another uncomplicated sun visor for the sandbox. Two triangles are connected by thin straps. Mixed to racks, only preferably racks make more solid. For young children, there is enough such a section, and for older defers - from 4 years - something more solid is required - at least 60 * 60 cm. To save, you can sew two boards - knocked down the nails on both sides. Stretch the awning of labor will not be.

Covers

The second one necessary for sandboxes attribute - covers. It is not enough that the leaves fall in the sand and all garbage falls, so also animals love there ... Located. Prevent encroachment on the purity of sand can be using a lid. In the simplest embodiment, it is shot down from the board or carved from plywood shield to which the handles are coming.

Cover from the board

In order not to take off every time, the shields to shoot and install, you can make a loop, and that the doors do not hang, weld the handles to which they can rely on. When the lid leaks, two small playgrounds. For them, children can sit or build their sandy locks. Therefore, it is more convenient to make such caps from plywood: there is no cracks and by weight less.

There is even more interesting design - exit. This type of lid is precisely made from plywood. Nourish the top bar so that the gap remains. A sheet of plywood is inserted into it. And so that the opposite end does not hang, nourish the legs - small pieces of bar.

In a different way, the same principle is implemented in the option in the photo below. He is already for those who speak well by carpentry.

Blueprints

In order for the sandbox with his own hands quickly and easily, it remains to provide you with several drawings. They can be repelled, take the basis. You can make adjustments and need.

Sandbox with roof - Photo and drawing

Warning in the sand is an indispensable attribute of children's summer happiness. And if there is no shortage of lack of lack of lack in the sandboxes, then the child risks at the preservation area to risen without the usual entertainment. If your baby is growing up, it's time to engage in the construction of a sandbox in the country's yard. We tell how to design and build a functional and durable sandbox with a lid with your own hands.

Sandbox with lid: design features

Getting Started, think over the main details in advance, starting in size. The sandbox should be quite deep and roomy so that it could easily scroll on her one and a half year old baby, but so that the five-year-old child was not cramped there. For this purpose, dimensions are suitable 1.5 m x 1, 5 m: Such a sandbox will not take a lot of space and 3-4 children will be spread with convenience.

Calculate the height of the structure so that the sand layer is at least 15 cm. Do not forget to leave the space for seating from above. With a width of the board at 12 cm, you can build a sandbox in two boards, that is, a height is 24 cm. This is quite enough for the baby to not only sculpt the kulichki on his "building site", but also built a sand castle.

But do you need a lid sandbox? For those who love the order and take care of the health of children, the answer is obvious.

The lid protects the sand:

from scattering throughout the territory;
from overclocking during rain;
from garbage, branches, rotten fruits;
from the encroachment of dogs and cats to arrange a toilet there.

The cover will protect sand from pollution and will become a comfortable bench

The simplest lid serves a shield shot down from the boards, which the sandbox is covered after the game. Make it easier, but such a cover is very heavy and cumbersome, takes an extra room on the site during the daytime, and it is difficult to move it from place in place. Therefore, we propose to stay on the transformer lid: its construction will take longer, and the result will justify. Build the lid, which when opening turns into a table and / or a comfortable bench with a back: They will enjoy not only the child, but also adults to join him.

Where to begin

First you want to stock materials and tools. We offer a list of minimal necessary, without which you can not do.

Building materials:

Boards: For the construction of a frame 1, 5 m x 1.5 m, two pieces with dimensions 32x120x6000 mm are needed; For the cover two plaques with dimensions of 20x120x6000 mm.
Bar 2 pieces 50x50x1000 mm for bonding housing and backrest.
Agrofiber 1600x1600 mm for doning.
Door loops 6-8 pieces. To obtain a more reliable design, use the wiring loops.
Saws.
Staples.
Impregnation for wood, veil, paint.

Instruments:

saw (electrolovka);
screwdriver;
stapler;
device for grinding (planer, Bulgarian + grinding wheel, sandpaper, etc.);
roulette.

Construction step by step

Let's start with the framework of the frame. To do this, we saw the boards to the segments we need. With a standard length of 6 m. We divide each board for four equal segments than we provide waste-free production.

Boards thoroughly grind and polished to achieve a smooth surface. Oranges, obtained in the sandbox, we are definitely not needed. For the sandbox to serve for a long time, treat the boards with solid from fungi and rotting. The antiseptic will protect the pest and will prolong the life of the product.

We saw the timber on four equal pieces of 25 cm and grind them.

We collect the sandbox housing, bonding the timber

We collect a bunk case of eight boards, bonding the boards in the corners with a bar. Carefully drive the hats of self-tapping screws (nails, screws) so that they do not protrude beyond the surface of the board and bar. Between the boards, curse the strip of the self-adhesive seal, then the sand will not wake up in the slot.

Clell the bog of the boards by self-adhesive seal

Measuring the dimensions of the resulting frame with maximum accuracy, proceed to the manufacture of a transformer cover. It can be done on one side of the sandbox table, and with another shop, and you can arrange two shops in front of a friend. Consider the first option.

Sandbox transformer with a bench and table

The first board is attached to the sandbox with self-draws, the second is attached to the first with the help of two door hinges. Thus, we can adjust the size of the table and make it wider if necessary.

For a shop, we will need six identical boards, two of which will go on the seat, two - on the back and two - on the mounting to the frame. How it should look, depicted in the diagram:

Scheme of benches for sandbox

Loops screw to the outer side of the cover so that the internal strips be fucked when opening up. For fastening and fixing the back, use a grinding bar. Calculate it length so that when opening the cover it has provided a stable stop for the back.

The bar must provide a good focus for the back

IMPORTANT: so that the loops do not rust, squeak them on both sides before installing.

With the active use of the sandbox of the self-sufficiency, it may not be enough for reliable fastening of the loops: with a frequent opening / closing, they quickly begin to fall out. For greater reliability, use bolts for fixing.

To, be carried away by sandy excavations, the baby did not start digging the ground from the depths, make the bottom in the sandbox. It will not allow to penetrate the clean sacred sand not only land, but also undesirable insects and plants. For the bottom, a dense agrofiber is suitable, which has a high moisture permeability, which will exclude stagnation of water in the sandbox.

Tensioning the agriculture along the bottom of the sandbox and fix the brackets around the perimeter.

Installation and care

Choose on site appropriate place. Do not place the sandbox in the open area to avoid overheating and sunburn during the all-consuming game. It is better to establish a design in a partial shadow - from home, fence or bushes. Make sure that at midday the clock, the place for the future sandbox is protected from the sun.

On the selected area, roll a smooth boothelter with a depth of 3-5 cm. A little more than the stem square so that it is easy to "sat down." You can make a sinking from gravel.

If you want a sandbox to be established thoroughly, use a longer bar for fastening the box, then the legs are formed in the corners of the design, which can be chopped into the ground.

Boiled under the sandbox

Choosing between sea, career and river sand to fill the sandbox, we recommend to stay on the latter. It is clean and does not contain impurities and salts, but still it is better to sift it, then the sand will be without pebbles and dirt, soft, gentle, pleasant in work.

So that the children's "construction site" looked cozy, surround it with lawn grass and move the track to it.

Now the sandbox is absolutely "ready to use" and can be allowed into her first small builders to test the object. It remains only to fill it with bright buckets, blades and molds as final strokes. The sandbox made on such technology is simply obliged to serve for many years.

The harder the design of the sandbox, the longer the time and effort will go to its construction. At the same time, the good, made on the conscience, the thing will deliver the joy of not one generation of kids. After all, sandy fun develop small motility, creative thinking and simply give the joy of careless childhood. And for this it is a little try to try.
