Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your sandbox and ensure a clean play environment.

• Protective Cover: Always use the provided UV- and water-resistant cover when the sandbox is not in use. This prevents leaves, debris, and animals from entering the sand.
• Sand Care: Periodically rake and aerate the sand to keep it fresh and prevent compaction. Replace sand as needed.
• Wood Care: The heat-treated hemlock wood is durable, but occasional cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Drainage: Ensure the bottom liner remains clear to facilitate proper drainage and prevent water accumulation.

Troubleshooting

• Water Pooling on Cover: If water collects on the cover after rain, place a large ball or similar object in the center of the sandbox before covering. This will create a dome shape, allowing water to run off.
• Loose Joints: Periodically check all screws and connections. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain the sandbox's structural integrity.
• Weed Growth: Ensure the bottom liner is correctly positioned and not damaged. If weeds appear, remove them manually.
