FAQs
What is the recommended age for this product?
This table is designed for children aged 18 months and older.
Can the sand and water tables be used separately?
Yes, they are designed to slide together for storage but can be separated to allow multiple children to play from different sides.
Does the table come with a cover?
The product includes the table structure, but specific covers for weather protection are usually sold separately or can be fashioned from a waterproof tarp.
How do I keep the water side clean?
It is best to drain the water side after every use to prevent stagnant water and algae growth.
Is the wood treated for outdoor use?
The table is built from outdoor-grade timber, though applying a clear wood sealant annually is recommended for best preservation.
How much sand does the table hold?
The capacity depends on how high you fill the compartment, but it typically accommodates approximately 10-15kg of play sand.
Troubleshooting
Table feels wobbly on uneven ground
Ensure the table is placed on a flat, level surface. You can use wood shims under the legs if the terrain is slightly uneven.
Wood appears dry or weathered
Apply a child-safe exterior wood stain or protective oil to re-seal the timber and prevent splintering.
Sand is damp and sticking
Ensure the sand is kept in a dry area or covered when not in use; if wet, remove and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is required upon arrival; ensure all wooden components are checked for alignment before tightening fasteners. For longevity, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or sealant suited for outdoor children's play equipment to maintain the finish. To care for the unit, clear out old sand and water regularly to prevent mold or algae buildup. If kept in direct weather, using a waterproof cover during non-use periods will extend the product's lifespan. Regularly inspect the bolts and joints to ensure the unit remains sturdy and safe for the children.
