Who doesn’t love a lemonade stand on a hot summer day?
Lemonade stands are more than just a way to teach your kids about money. Building a lemonade stand is fun way to learn some basics about construction.
And if you take the time to build a sturdy Lemonade Stand, you can keep using it as a Garden Wishing Well or a Puppet Theater!
What you’ll need for this project:
Tools & Equipment
- Circular Saw
- Measuring Tape
- Drill/Driver or Hammer
- Drill bits and countersink
Materials
Cedar or pressure treated lumber is a good choice for an outside project. If you are planning to keep your stand inside, I’d recommend using pine. It’s lighter, less expensive, and works well for indoor use.
8 pieces 5/4” x 6” x 12’ decking boards. If you’re using pine, use 1×6.
12 pieces 2 x 4 x 8
6-penny nails or 2-inch all-weather screws for the plank connections
8-penny nails or 2 1/2-inch all weather screws for the 2×4 connections

Saw a post in Facebook about a kids sandbox that had benches and that folded up and covered the sandbox to keep out animals. I would like to build one for my grandson. The problem is I cannot find the instructions on the site. It gave a link but no sign of the sandbox. Is this one of your projects or not. I would like the instructions if possible. Please get back to me as soon as possible so I can start this project for his summer playtime.
Thank you for your time.
