Full details
The Big Game Hunters 1.8m Octagonal Sandpit is designed for families and social groups looking to transform their backyard into an active, imaginative play area. Its standout feature is its generous octagonal design, which provides significant room for multiple children to play side-by-side, fostering collaborative social interaction. While it offers a robust and spacious play environment, users should keep in mind that the unit requires a significant amount of sand—approximately 225kg to 250kg—to fill, and it must be purchased separately.

FAQs
How much sand do I need to buy?
We recommend using 9 to 10 bags of 25kg play sand to fill the sandpit to an appropriate depth.
Is the sand included?
No, play sand is not included with the sandpit and must be purchased separately.
Does the underlay really prevent weeds?
Yes, the provided geotextile underlay acts as a barrier to keep weeds and grass from growing up into your play area.
How many children can play in it at once?
Due to its 1.8m size, it is specifically designed to allow multiple children to play simultaneously with plenty of room.
Should I treat the wood?
While the wood is robust, we recommend applying a child-safe outdoor wood preservative if you live in an area with high moisture or harsh weather to maximize the lifespan of the frame.
Troubleshooting
Weeds growing through the sand
Ensure the geotextile underlay is laid flat and covers the entire base before filling with sand.
Sandpit feels unstable
Check that the structure is placed on a completely flat, level surface and verify that all corner fasteners are fully tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the sandpit is straightforward, though it is recommended to be completed by two adults due to the size of the timber components. Start by selecting a level area of your yard that provides easy visibility for supervision. Lay down the provided geotextile underlay before assembling the frame to ensure a weed-free base. When it comes to care, timber structures benefit from periodic checks to ensure screws remain tight after seasonal temperature fluctuations. Because the unit is exposed to the elements, consider covering the sandpit when not in use to keep debris out and ensure the sand remains dry and clean. If the wood is untreated, applying a child-safe wood preservative annually will significantly extend the lifespan of your sandpit.
