Don’t be surprised at the increase in playdate requests. These large rectangle sandbox plans include a lot of fun extras like a separate step-up platform, a ramp, built-in toy storage, and a lid that triples as a bench backrest and sun protection.

The construction is simple, with frames, cladding, and hinges as the main operations.

Tackle this project for fun outdoor play area that can be closed up and protected when not in use.
