Sandbox with lid

Submitted by Klondike on Mon, 03/16/2015 - 15:57

Sandbox with lid, painted first, then assembled. I had originally planned to alternate the colors on each board, but partially assembling it into the 5 large pieces and then painting made the process much more manageable.  

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
approximately $200, including wood, paint, and play sand to fill the box.
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Latex exterior paint, primer plus three coats. Assembled the main box and each lid piece, painted separately, and then assembled. Could probably have been built in a single weekend except for paint drying times.
Recommended Skill Level
Intermediate

Doing multiple colors added some additional work, but definitely pleased with how it came out.
