This article was written in 2000. Anyway, there is a picture of this exact sandbox located on the original article here http://www.familycorner.com/family/leisure/basic_sandbox.shtml It’s a little odd, I don’t remember giving permission to reprint this article, but it is rather old so I suppose I could have.

It would be a standard rectangle though. What kind of look are you trying to create? Sorry Bobby, we don’t have a picture. It would be a standard rectangle though.

I would like to build a sandbox for my 4 girls, but I am looking for a certain size and a certain look. Thank you for the great instructions!!

Tell them its for a sandbox and they should offer you river washed sand. I believe it is better and safer than the playsand sold in bags (which may contain ground up nasties).

I'm not ready to spend well over $80 in just sand yet, especially since I was unexpectedly laid-off last month -so my kids had to take a rain check on this worthwhile project.
