Sterilization 101

created a pocket at the other end of the fabric so that a narrow pvc pipe would fit through it (like a curtain rod).

That sounds perfect! I think I will try that this year for the mesh I am using. Sounds less cumbersome than folding it back out of the way.

Thanks! Just make sure the pipe isn't laying on the ground when the mesh is pulled over the sandbox, it has to hang down so the weight of it keeps the sandbox covered.

I am going to try this, as soon as the snow is all gone (still about 2' over the sand.) So I was sitting here trying to figure out how to hang it 'over' when the wood frame in sitting level with the grass. But then realised that because I am using the mesh, it doesn't pick up with the wind. When it's lying flat on the ground, gale force winds won't move it. And, I was previously talking about ants, well they didn't take over last year because the sand was able to dry much better under the mesh. There is no way I would ever use an insecticide on the sand.
