Can this sand be placed in an outdoor sand box that has a lid, or is it strictly for indoor use?

It would be extremely expensive to use it in a sandbox. I believe it is for indoor use only.

It depends on what kind of sand box you want to use. If you want a full-size sand box it would cost a LOT of money to fill a sand box. It's about $20 for just 2.2 pounds, it would take over 100 of those packages to even attempt to fill one. However, I don't see why it couldn't work; I wouldn't suggest using it for outdoor use because it may combine with dirt, grass and other things and become a right mess. Not to mention it will get away from you easily and would get lost in the yard and you'd never be able to pick it up. Overall I'd say; indoor use only is strongly advised.

its not real sand, just an overpriced smelly sand like polymer, save your cash and just get your kid some play doh

It probably could but would take a lot. This small box doesn't go very far. A small mixing bowl worth. Not sure about it getting wet either.

I would keep this stored like you would keep play dough, in a sealed container when not in use. I would not recommend this for a sand box, unless it were a very small table top type. It can be played with outside, but always put it back in a sealed container when done. The sand has a very faint scent, play dough actually smells much stronger than this does. This item is great for improving manual dexterity, useful in occupational therapy for the hand and science for children. I use it for OT and stress relief along with play dough and bubble wrap.

I would say strictly inside. If you decide to use it outdoors it would definitely have to be a controlled environment.

Do not use outdoors ...u must also install a liner, the container will rust in one season with dirt and water in direct contact.

No, the lid would easily allow water in. I only use it indoors. I would never use, for example, in a shed or other outdoor structure. It might fit under a bed, though.

I would not use outside permanently. The bottom fills up 2 inches. Ice cubes do not fit through the opening of the jug.

If you have a courtyard, then outdoor use would be fine on occasion. However, this tent is designed just for indoor use.

Unfortunately it isn't. It will fill about an inch maybe 1 1/2" in the bottom of an inside sand table that is about 16 x 20". It is great sand, feels really nice and isn't dusty, and will buy it again for that purpose. Unfortunately, it would take many boxes for an outside sand box. I would recommend play sand from a home improvement store for that purpose. Much cheaper $5/bag and in 50lb bags.

MIne is indoors, but the product design appears to be able to withstand the outdoor elements. Love it!!

I asked my son if the lid kept the sand dry and he said if it was placed on the sandbox then the sand kept dry!

Yes, we have used it as a pool for two seasons now. Never as a sand box actually. It's very difficult to spill out on my own (mom) but dad gets the job done. I take the toys out so they don't get covered in algae from the sun, close the lid, and repeat the next day. We refill about twice a week.

The plastic is probably too thin to handle being sand box, we just use ours for water and my father already wants to buy another one jic. Plus its pretty big so that'd be a ton of sand. But you can try it, I think the sides are strong enough to handle it however.

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.

Yes you can put sand in it. You can put water, marbles, dried beans, etc. in it.

Theoretically, I think this would work OK in a water-proof outdoor box--but, it really is built for indoors. I'd personally go for a unit sold for the outdoors. It's my understanding this company sells such outdoor units.

Depends, it is not sealed, made for indoor use, you can use it outside, as long as it's not raining or wet. Mine is attached to my roll-about garage workbench, I use it in the garage and the driveway.

you can get inferior sand instead, which is all you need for your purpose, from a big box store. Of course you can use this sand i just wouldn't waste it on that use

I'm sure it would be fine to use. It's really fine sand and looks beautiful. Not sure if this helps. Goodluck! :)

I am not sure about sand. I use these bags to store onions, potatoes, and other dry goods. These bags are sturdy, but I would not consider them industrial/outdoor strength, if that is what you had in mind. Hope this helps!
