- Building with cedar is a great idea when making projects that kids will use.
Begin by cutting four 2x8s at 46"; this will be the bottom frame of your sandbox. We added 4x4s cut at 7¾" in the corners for extra stability. Use 2½" deck screws and a dab of wood glue to attach.
Cut 12 2x4s at 47½"; this will be the lid of your sandbox. Attach the first two to the frame, leaving a 1" gap in between. This will be the spacing to use for the entire project.
Cut four 7½" 2x4s that will act as the arm rests for the benches. These will be attached to the underside of the boards when the lid is closed. Once these are in place, attach two 3' hinges on the back of each bench.
Cut four 12½" 2x4s used as the back support when the benches are flipped open, then attach two 3" hinges on the seats. This will let the lid pivot open to form the backrest.
We added a U-bolt on the side to hold an umbrella and a rope on the lid to make it easier for kids to open the sandbox. Use landscape fabric inside to hold your sand in.What projects should we make next? Let us know in the comments!

Sweet
How much did u spend on this project I'm trying to figure out if it's cheaper to make or just buy one.
as you can see, the video took 2 min and 35 secs. Just kidding. It's cheaper to buy one, but if you like building it, go ahead ;)
It’s a lil cheaper than buying one. But it’s the process for me.
What sort of membrane/weed barrier are you putting in there, and how do you keep it from turning into a sandy swimming pool when it rains?
Wish they were decent humans and gave credit to the original makers.
It's not exactly revolutionary
