White Straddie Sand has many benefits that make it a preferred choice for various indoor and outdoor uses:

White Straddie Sand’s fine grains create a smooth, soft surface, making it comfortable to walk or play on. This makes it a great choice for playgrounds, sports fields, and relaxation areas where a gentle surface is desired.Versatile Use
Suitable for a variety of applications, White Straddie Sand is commonly used in playgrounds, sandboxes, top-dressing for lawns, decorative landscaping, and even some construction projects where a clean finish is important.Low Impurities & Very Clean
Sourced from natural sand dunes, White Straddie Sand is typically low in silt and clay content, providing a clean, contaminant-free product. Its natural purity ensures minimal dust and debris, making it suitable for spaces where cleanliness is a priority.
Considerations
While White Straddie Sand is a versatile and attractive option, it’s important to consider the following factors before choosing it for your project:
Lower Drainage Capacity
Due to its fine grain size, White Straddie Sand doesn’t drain as quickly as coarser sands. It’s best used in applications where drainage is not the main concern, or combined with other materials to improve drainage if needed.
Compaction
The sand’s fine texture means it can compact over time, especially under regular use. This compaction can reduce permeability and affect surface smoothness. To counteract this, it’s important to regularly rake and maintain the sand, especially in high-traffic areas.
Erosion
White Straddie Sand is more prone to erosion by wind or water due to its fine grains. For outdoor use, consider installing erosion control measures like borders, geotextiles, or retaining edges to keep the sand in place.
How to use fine river sand
To make the best use of White Straddie Sand and maintain its aesthetic appeal and functionality, follow these steps:
Preparation
Clear the application area of any vegetation, debris, or other obstacles. If necessary, level and grade the surface to ensure even application.
For sandpits or playgrounds, consider installing a border to contain the sand and minimise displacement.
Application
Spread a uniform layer of White Straddie Sand over the prepared area.
For sandpits, play areas, or landscaping, aim for a layer depth of around 3-4 inches (8-10 cm) to ensure a soft, cushioning surface.
Use a rake to evenly distribute the sand, ensuring a level finish.
Maintenance
Maintaining White Straddie Sand is straightforward.
Regularly rake the surface to keep it smooth and prevent compacting. After heavy use or weather events, top up the sand as needed to maintain the desired depth and look.
Check for any areas showing signs of erosion or displacement and address them promptly.
