Guest Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hope someone can help ! We have a big hexagonal sandpit on the ground outdoors - children love it and we have some fab sit on excavators which have gone down beautifully. It has a green hessian type cover with a drawstring to secure it with - unfortunately the cover is now ripped ( rip getting bigger daily ) and due to H and S issues we need to try to cover it securely as we haven't been able to have the children play with it since this happened . Wondered has anyone else has this prob and has anyone a good solution ? - thanks in anticipation - Lizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 No I'm afraid I don't but I shall follow this with interest as it sounds identical to our sandpit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you know what make it is perhaps you could get in touch with them and find out if you can get a replacement cover. Failing that you might need to try to find a handy person who could make you one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got one of those stretchy net things from halfords like you would put over your roof rack and hooked that on too - for the winter it gets an exra tarp put over it. We found the hessian one to be no good everytime it rained it just fell in! HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarrian Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 We made a plywood cover cut to shape - get the local hunk to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Can anyone tell me the current legislation on covering outdoor sandpits - we have and it's not covered but we thoroughly check it each day for animal faeces etc. Our early years advisory teacher said that she didn't know what the legislation states. I know it would be better if it wa scovered but it's huge and it would be a huge job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
