Common cover types include rigid molded lids, foldable or removable fabric covers, and snap-on or hinged tops. Bottom options shown include perforated or holed liners and fabric liners; some models are bottomless and rely on a liner for drainage and ventilation.
Several designs use perforated or holed bottom liners to allow water to drain and air to circulate. Others use a bottomless frame paired with a liner so you can adjust sand depth and improve natural drainage and ventilation.
Listed sand capacities in these listings range from just over 100 pounds up to about 352 pounds. One listing notes capacity comparable to six 50 lb sandbags (around 300 lb).
Covers appear in several forms: adjustable canopies or roofs that provide sun shade, and fabric or molded lids that snap on, fold over, or close to keep debris out. Some canopy designs can be lowered to act as a lid when the sandbox is not in use.
Common inclusions are a top cover or lid and a bottom liner; some kits also include ground stakes or a hardware kit. Play sand and toys are typically not included.
