My husband made a cedar wood sandbox last summer for our backyard. For a cover I bought outdoor furniture fabric, then we stapled one end of the fabric to a side of the sandbox, then created a pocket at the other end of the fabric so that a narrow pvc pipe would fit through it (like a curtain rod). When we want to use the sandbox we roll the excess fabric around the pvc pipe to uncover the sandbox, then pull it back over the sandbox to cover it when we are done. The pvc pipe is heavy enough that it hangs down over the side of the box and keeps it covered even if it is windy. The fabric is a nice patterned brown colour so that when we have it covered it isn't an eye sore.
It has worked really well, the whole summer went by without the sand getting dirty and it stayed animal poop free.
