Can We build one for you?

These sandcastles are built to impress, and people from 2 to 92 always love to see them and marvel at the structure and detail.  What does it take to put one at you event or on your beach beach resort? Look through the following picture notes and find out. All we need is some good sand and a few materials.. We can make them tall or wide or both. It's pretty easy to have a sandcastle in paradise, contact us to find out how.

The sand and sand quality are key to a great sandcastle.  So we pay very close attention to the kind of sand we have available. Off beach at convention locations we buy the sand and have it trucked in. They dump it and we go to work. At or on beach locations we can get the sand right from the beach or have it delivered. It needs to be fine sand, clear of stones and twigs, most beaches are good but you need to have high quality fine mason sand to pull these off.

These are my buddies from Turks and Caicos.. They helped me with the pound up. That's when we take the sand and pound it up in large wood frames and make a tall packed mound to carve our castle out of. For height we use the forms, they enable us to pack sand into them. What you see in this picture is day one of the build and usually the hardest physical day as well.. It will take another 5 days to complete the project and some of these guys help with that too. We will need a crew like this when we come to your resort as well.

This Sandcastle picture above was taken 3 years after it was built at a large retail operation in Spokane Wa. To make them last we spray the castle once a section is complete with a solution of Elmers glue and water. It's just a mist but it hardens the outside layer and seals the water in. Out doors but under a canopy they can last months, out in the open air on the beach with sun and wind, a week or so at most... you choose what you want. Note that the Sandals castles you see on this site were built right on the beach. They supplied a large canopy to cover the castle to help protect it from rain and sun. 

So here is how it goes.. We arrive on site a day or so before the castle needs to start. If you have a specific date you need the castle complete and ready, we need to be there 6 days prior to that. Day one is the pound up.. if we need to build wood forms then that takes a few hours and should be done the day before the pound up. To facilitate this we need a small crew that the resort client would make available during those first days. The the next 5 days we sculpt and carve it all out. If we can have a couple of helpers from your crew during that time that would be great. The last day we complete the castle, we include logo's as well.

Need a logo, we can include that.  Most high profile corporate clients like their logos so we have become very good at reproducing them in sand. The logo is an important part of telling the people you serve who you are, so we put the logo's front and center, right out where they need to be.  In fact, Most of our larger castles include a logo. This one above was for Coyote outdoor, a high end BBQ manufacturer at the HPBA convention in New Orleans in March of 2021

Here we are in front of one of our Beaches Resort Sandcastles in Turks and Caicos. We had one hell of a time with this one. The mound collapsed on us the second day leaving us buried in a pile of sand and wood. Then the rains came, and boy can it rain in the Caribbean. Then after all that the castle got attacked by a group of feral cats. Seems they like to climb on things in the night. We where down to our last 2 days till the event to get it all done. Beaches management was great and supplied us with whatever we needed, which was a canopy, and a few extra helpers. We completed the logo an hour before the event, which had about 200 people in attendance. But all turned out great.. and here we are in this picture, cleaned up pretty good.

Our Goal is simple, we want to build a sandcastle at your resort. What will it cost me you ask? Well, not too much. We know that many of the resorts get their entertainment though barter and we are well adjusted to accept creative ways in which we can get to your resort. Our main goal is to be able to travel to exotic tropical locations and continue to build these amazing castles in the sand. So call, text of email us with any questions on dates or other information. And remember, more than anything else, the adventure is what we are looking for.

For the last 35 years I have been building these sandcastles, I can't tell you why, I just like building sandcastles and seeing the faces of the kids and grown ups that come by and see them. They are amazed and sometimes overwhelmed by emotion and never forget the day they saw it. That is what Terri and I want to bring to your resort. An unforgettable moment your guests will keep with them forever.  We need an invitation and barter agreement. That's it. So let us know what you think.. and together we can really make your beach resort special for your guests.
