dana5 25 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Anybody knows where I can buy a sandbox in Cebu City? (box containing loose sand for children to play in) I looked in SM and some home store shops but had no luck. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
Dolsos 504 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'd imagine you could find any number of carpenters to build you one out of lumber for pretty cheap, then source clean sand somewhere. I've seen a plastic sandbox in the shape of a turtle before, can't remember where but it was obscenely expensive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Thelandofku-an 349 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Try dept store toy shops, Robinsons Banilad, Rustas Ayala, Metro Colon. Garden accessories, Handyman Ayala. Rubbermaid, internet. Ayala has toy boutique. Advertise this sites classifieds for secondhand? Soft mouldable builders sand on bridge twixt Country Mall and BTC (dry it, seive it, wash it)!

KennyF 3,855 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Whatever you do, get one with a lid or cover. Cats love using them overnight as a CR. KonGC 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Headshot 29,349 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I haven't seen one for sale here at all. I think your best bet is to just have one built. A wooden frame would quickly be destroyed by termites, but then, children don't play in a sandbox for many years. Definitely have some sort of cover for cats, but also make sure you aren't creating a haven for spiders or snakes. Link to post Share on other sites
Thelandofku-an 349 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I did the BTC toyshop this pm, no joy, only tabletop sand trays! I have seen larger than average washing up bowls 80+cm (plangana), the best brand begins with a "P" I think? Or is it an "O"; Orocan maybe? Edited May 7, 2013 by Thelandofku-an!

Sven 1,136 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I always used to think this is the one thing that a dad has to create with his very own hands..? Boy1: My dad is the best! He built a house! Boy2: My dad is better than your dad! He built a playground! Boy3: My dad is even better! He built... eh... he built... an, uh, algorithm! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
