Sandbox for concrete patio

Just keep the plastic box. Dump the sand, drill drainage holes in the
bottom, line with landscaping cloth, refill with sand. If you really want a
wooden box, do the same thing.

Drill/make drain holes around the bottom edge of the sandbox, line the
sandbox bottom with window screening to keep the sand in and let the
drainage run out onto the concrete.
