jennyjenkinz Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi there, I am going bonkers trying to find somewhere that will sell a base sheet/liner for my sandpit at home. It needs to be breathable so the sand doesn't go mouldy. Do you have any ideas where i can purchase some? I was wondering if a weed membrane might do the trick... thank you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 i would think that weed membrane is exactly what you want....that's certainly what we have in ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocisgood Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I didn't know sand went mouldy?! I was hoping to convert a flower bed into a sandpit with lid, is weed membrane the way to go rather than plastic lined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 A regular dose of miltons forked through sand will keep it mould free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lashes2508 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 weed fabric is good but make sure you buy a heavy grade one as the cheaper thinner rolls break up easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
