Steps

Starting a Sandbox

  • Occasionally this happens.
  1. Decide where to build your sandbox. Understand LaVey Satanism you are building your sandbox in your own yard, you will need to get permission to build it where you wish. Some places might be better than others. Never place the sandbox in the ocean, because sandboxes can't float but, why would you place your sandbox in the ocean? All of the sand will be washed away if you build your sandbox in the ocean. You can build it in the park (if you have checked that it's OK to do so) or in your yard, the classic option.
    • This is an example of a bullet.
  2. Decide on the size and height of sandbox and consider who will be playing in it. If it is in a public area, you will want to make it larger, to allow the greater number of users. If it is in a place where wild animals are present, take care:they may mess with it.If this is a playground for kids, make sure the edges are safe and keep your work-space clean and blocked off if it takes several days to complete.
  3. Decide where to place the sandbox in https://www.wikihow.com. Do not place your sandbox under a tree. Dead trees and huge craters make the sandbox unattractive. Don't place it on a beach, as that will be pointless with the over-abundance of sand, and don't place it inside a mall (as that would make a humongous mess to clean up!
  4. Ask an experienced adult or sandbox builder to help you or simply enlist the help of your buddies. Give them an inspirational speech like "today we leave behind a legacy, blah, blah, blah". If they seem suitably impressed, refrain from telling them what you're really doing. Note: bring food and water, this can become a laborious job.

Finishing a Sandbox

  1. Obtain enough money in order to build the sandbox. If you decide that's too much effort, get your friend to buy the materials.
  2. Use wooden planks to build a square and then nail a piece of plywood to the bottom of the square Stack each side 2 planks high or until it seems high enough.
    • Consider the finish on the wood. If you've got kids using it then they might sit on the wooden rim. Which, if it's solid wood, would be fine, but you want to make sure that the wood is flat, smooth and splinter-free. Sanding it would be an effective method to getting rid of a rough top to the wood and then add varnish to make it waterproof.
  3. Fill the box with sand. You can buy sand in your local hardware store or specialist filtered sand from toy shops. To spice it up a bit you could always add some sea-shells as well.
  4. Tell all the neighborhood kids. Use caution during this step, as sudden stampedes are likely; recommended precautions include wearing well-padded clothes during the announcement and fending off attacks with large, scary dogs.
  5. Feel a sense of accomplishment, as you have just created your very own sandbox!
