What to look for in Sandpit Covers for commercial childcare centres, schools, and private homes

If you’re looking for sandpit covers for your childcare centre, you’re in the right place. Sandpit covers Australia make covers that ensure a safe and clean environment for children to play in.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing sandpit covers:

1. Size and Design

Consider the size and shape of your sandpit when selecting a cover. We custom make covers to fit the exact shape of your sandpit or we can make a squirt, rectangle or circle shape to fit over your sandpit, regardless of the shape. At Sandpit Covers Australia, our covers are always made larger than the measurements you give to fully cover the sandpit area and allow for any possible shrinkage.

Sandpit Covers Australia will custom make covers to suit your individual sandpits.

2. Material

Choose a cover made from durable and non-waterproof material. Our sandpit covers are UV resistant and can withstand regular use. Our fabric is non-toxic and safe for children.

3. Ventilation and Drainage

A good sandpit cover should allow for proper airflow and prevent water from collecting on top. Sandpit covers Australia’s fabric is made with ventilation holes and lightly woven material to promote air circulation and prevent mold or mildew growth.

Our home use covers can be made with our waterproof fabric with drainage systems to allow rainwater to pass down it easily.

4. Secure Attachments

Our sandpit covers come with secure attachment mechanisms – bunji loops and knobs or chain encased in the hem to keep it in place during windy conditions or when not in use. If you want, we can also use elastic cords, ties, or permanent fasteners to keep the covers from being stolen that can be easily attached and removed by staff members.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

We suggest you clean the sandpit cover at least once per year with a high-pressure hose to keep the sandpit hygienic and free from any contaminants.

6. Safety Considerations

Our sandpit covers meet safety standards and regulations for your childcare centre. Our covers are flame retardant and have no small parts or choking hazards that could pose risks to children.

If you consider the above factors, you can find sandpit covers that are suitable for your specific needs.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us as we specialise in covering sandpit equipment and sandpits. We can provide you with options tailored to your requirements and guide you through the selection process.

When you invest in our covers, you are ensuring the children in your care are playing in a clean environment protected from animal faeces. ... See MoreSee Less
