Why are we making a mountain out of a molehill? This is not a two
story addition or a parking structure. It is a simple shade
structure for a sandbox! I just wanted to know what what was
reccomended for the span of
the
2x10 . Do I need three or could I get by with two 4x4's.

TWO. At either side of the north end of the box. The rest is tarp
and tie-down slanting south.

Why in the hell would you want to put anything up that would tempt a
kid to climb or swing on it?

Because kids love to climb and swing? Because it provides shade?

Besides, it'll keep the kids out of the huge sand "catbox."

But with shelter from sun and rain, will tempt all the neighboring cats
into the great new toilet!
