Outdoor Sand Pit - Cover?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, we were told some years ago that outdoor sand pits should not be covered as the condensation formed on the inside of the lid contains a bacteria which can make children poorly. This info came from a advisory teacher but im struggling to see why so many places provide pits with lids if this is the case. Is this a Old Wifes Tale again ???

Cat pee and s*** or possible condensation. I know which I prefer.

not sure of the reason not to cover

 

but i expect so many have covers to prevent the cats etc soiling in the sand pits .. think this may override any condensation worries... Toxoplasmosis

I've never heard of this one, again I know what I'd prefer to prevent.

However, depending on size of sandpit, and thinking this may relate to plastic sand pits, how about putting in a piece of old sheet or towelling on top of the sane before the lid is put on to absorb most of the condensation, it can be removed each day ?
