Conclusion / Rating:
*****************
Overall, the sandpit is ok. Subject to these limitations can recommend him.
Let's see how he behaves after 1 season in the garden.
PS: A little tip yet. We wanted to order only sand on the Internet or get from the hardware store to fill the box. Since you still need quite a lot of sand, which would have been very expensive. We got the hint times at a local gravel and sand pit ask. That was priceless. We rented a trailer at OBI for 15Euro / 4hrs. We were 1.5 times in the sand pit filling (washed play sand each 5 Euro per trailer load). That was enough to the sandbox to make full enough. Total price was so 25Euro. At the hardware store or the Internet, we would not have gotten away with 250Euro for the same amount of sand.
Addendum after prolonged use:
*******************************
After a year of use, my conclusion remains unchanged. The rating I change from 3 to 4 stars because the sandbox really well withstood our intensive use.
In winter we have it covered with a large plastic tarp to protect against weathering.
But color and condition have not really verschlechter. So we are pleasantly surprised.

I like to share my experience of the connecting equipment with here, since I have already often benefits benefits from test reports other. Before I make a rating here, I test the products extensively. If it is necessary, I wear after some time to have my long-term experience. If questions appear in the comments, I answer that also mostly.
The testing and writing the review takes time. I would be pleased if you appreciate this by clicking on this review shortly as "helpful". Thank you and enjoy further shopping.
