After picking up a 1/2 ton of sand this past weekend I was getting a backache using the small handle sifter that I purchased at Petco for cleaning the sand in reptile cages, so I came up w/ the idea of using a Future Fork for horse stall cleaning & using zip ties to attach 1/4" hardware cloth to. Just wanted to share w/ everyone in case anyone else uses sand in their run & has a bad back. I know I have seen people who use hardware cloth attached to 2 pieces of wood & use the panning for gold motion LOL but that involved using 2 different tools, first raking/shoveling the sand onto the sifter & then using 2 hands to sift out the poop which seemed like too much work for me

So now all I do is scrape then shake over my compost bucket...all done standing up...no bending

Thank you for sharing, that is awesome. I have been trying to figure out an efficient way to sift the sand in their outdoor run. This will work perfectly! Nice Job!
 
I was just thinking about how to solve this problem this morning - as I cleaned out the run.

Great idea thanks!
 
Thank you everyone!
