SHOPPERS are flocking to Sports Direct for a garden essential that’s perfect for kids and it’s been reduced to less than a tenner.
An eagle-eyed customer spotted the deal online and shared it with others on social media.
The wooden sandpit with coloured benches, which measures 103cm X 78cm X 160cm, has been put on sale for just £9.99, reduced from £59.99.
She shared a screenshot of the item on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group and wrote: “Absolute bargain.”
Writing in the comment, another shopper said: “Nice! Really hope Sports Direct have some left come next week.”
Another added: “Omg so good!”
A third cried: “Looks fab!”
If you’re keen to get one of the discounted sandpits, you might want to visit the Sports Direct website sooner rather than later as these deals don’t tend to stick around for long.
It’s important to bear in mind that you will have to fork out a little extra cash for delivery.
The sandpit is also available from online retailer Studio with the same 83% discount.
It’s not clear whether the sandpit is sold in Sports Direct stores, so it could be worth calling your local branch to see if they have what you’re looking for in stock.
You can find your nearest store by using the locator tool on the retailer’s website.
The sandpit comes with an internal fabric ground cover to prevent weeds from growing.
It also has rounded edges for added safety and two benches for resting.
The product description reads: “Bring the beach to your garden for your little one, with our Toylife wooden sandpit.
“Let your child’s imagination go creative with sandcastle building, digging and making shapes in the sand.
With enough space for them and three friends, they will be entertained for hours.”

Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you’ll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It’s especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you’ll get a nice kickback.
