For kids to play safely in their sandbox, it's important that the box is kept covered until the next playtime, which is why we would always recommend a sandpit with a lid or covering. This is also important to make sure that rain and any other nasties can't get in and affect the sand. With regular raking and appropriate drainage, you should be able to keep your sandpit clean and in tip-top condition.
