Great for summer fun for children
I bought this in the summer for my daughter’s 1st birthday she absolutely loved it! Hours of fun playing in the sand. Also we have filled up with water too for her to splash about in there, great price and good sizing also comes with a thick plastic lid as a cover, stores great for winter

Water/sand pit
Bought for a one year old to have a splash in. Perfect size. Great colour and ideal for what was needed

Sturdy and waterproof
This sandpit is surprisingly sturdy and the lid stops and rain getting in. I put something heavyish on top to stop the wind blowing the lid off but it's totally waterproof. The sandpit takes four bags of sand but would take five or six.
