We had it covered but clearly needed more reinforcement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647414 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:27:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2647414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we replace once a year - usually at the start of summer. We also have a cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647407 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:19:50 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2647407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is always kept covered when not in use then I see no reason to replace it. I don't plan on replacing mine for a long time. I just put new sand in this year.</p> <p>But if it isn't covered then I'd probably replace because in our area we have a lot of wandering cats and other animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647397 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:09:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2647397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't, but we're also strict about covering it as well. We clean up our yard every night and make sure the sandbox is closed up before we go in for the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647271 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:55:06 +0000 looch 2647271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't, but we are strict about covering it. I try to air it out in the spring, but I am not sure what that does, if anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647253 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:38:20 +0000 Maysprout 2647253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have a high fence but sometimes forget the cover and I've heard others say that stray cats love to pee in sandboxes. I'm sure it gets rinsed off from the rain but I like fresh stuff in there at least once a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647240 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:31:58 +0000 mediagirl 2647240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we never replaced it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-replace-sandbox-sand-every-season#post-2647229 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 10:26:01 +0000 winniebee 2647229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our first year having a sandbox and it has gotten occasionally wet this season and...winter is coming. I'm wondering if we should empty the sandbox and start fresh in the spring. Do you get new sand every season? </p>
