For example, a sandpit is provided such that a concrete frame is embedded in the ground, and sand is put in the concrete frame.

[0003]

Therefore, when the position of the sandbox is changed, or when an additional function such as a swing is set for the sandbox, a large amount of work is required, and the cost and labor are increased. . In addition, for example, sand such as cats and dogs, which are conventionally used in sandboxes, are freely excreted by animals because the animals can freely enter and exit. Therefore, there is a problem that the sand in the sandbox cannot be kept sanitary. As an example, in a sandbox where dogs and cats prefer excretion,
According to a survey by a private research institute in Tokyo, 5
In some cases, 10,000 to 200,000 E. coli were detected.

For this reason, for example, a net or sheet for avoiding animals may be provided so that animals do not enter the sandbox. In this type of net or sheet, an anchor is driven around the sandbox so that the net is not blown away by the wind, and a net is attached to the anchor. Therefore, the work of attaching the net or the sheet is difficult and costly. Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems, and can easily set a playground or playground equipment at a desired place, change its form or function, and prevent an animal from entering sand, for example. It is intended to provide an assembly playground equipment.
