We dont borrow our sand from the beach. we get it from the land slip on DPs farm.
its crystal white sand and has quartz particles in it.

and we dont buy crushed rock either, we get that from the quarry on the farm. the local transport company crushes it and takes it away and pays for what they take but we can take what we want too as its our rock. ]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:28:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1187074&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1187074 <![CDATA[Clam shell pool / sand pit : kiwi2 wrote:oh and just to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1187050&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1187050 Author: flakesitchyfeet

yeah, we thought about going to the beach too but just couldn't bring ourselves to do it...what if we all did that? And yes there are very questionable things at the beach

2 bags from bunnings half filled ours ...so maybe get 3? I wouldn't want ours filled all the way to the top, enough sand gets chucked out as it is ]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 12:02:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1186853&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1186853 <![CDATA[Clam shell pool / sand pit : Not borrowing the sand from our...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1186034&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1186034 Author: mummyofprinces

Not borrowing the sand from our beaches, they were closed earlier in the year because something was killing the dogs!

We used 2 bags (from placemakers)... you could easily get away with one though... Despite my protests DH felt it would need 4 so we now have 2 extra bags under the house. We figure in time we will need it...]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2010 11:18:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1186034&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1186034 <![CDATA[Clam shell pool / sand pit : kiwi2 - ewwwwwww ohk buying sand!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1186007&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1186007 Author: MyLilSquishy

The stuff you buy is heat treated to kill any bugs and sanitise it but seriously it gets dirty in a sand pit and I don't know of one sand pit that hasn't once had a cat poop in it. They are just too tempting and covers get left off. lol.

In case anyone's looking for one, I saw they had those clam shells on sale at the Warehouse for $16 - I thought that looked like a pretty good deal.

i think the play sand you buy is different than beach sand. its finer for a start and probably doesnt have yuck in it!

We got one at the weekend from Bunnings and I'm pretty sure DH got two bags of the play sand.
It's about half full.

If you buy the bags of sand from bunnings you can always keep your receipt and take it back if you don't use it. If you measure the sand pit in cm and how deep you want it you should be able to convert to L on the internet. ]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 16:44:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1185471&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1185471 <![CDATA[Clam shell pool / sand pit : Does anyone know how many litres...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36421&PID=1185456&title=clam-shell-pool-sand-pit#1185456 Author: MrsMojo
