Dimensions - 18 x 24 x 4-3/4. 2" of sand. But - not critical - probably should have been slightly bigger. Should leave 2" or so all around the component feet.Home Depot carries the stuff - but I did all my own cutting, including the miters. I don't know how far they will go and I doubt they will do the miters but - you can ask.
The sand is nothing special - called "Tube sand" because it comes in long tubes that are designed to put in your trunk for winter traction and opened for emergencies. Local guy said it would be drier than "play" sand.
Leveling it was, in fact, the biggest pain. Patience, Patience, Trial, Error, Trial. If you could just set it on a vibrating platform it would be great.
No caulk - just glued the corners & bottom using yellow carpenter's glue. (I glued and clamped the mitered pieces before I even attached the hardware using a "belt" clamp. I'll provide a pic if you want.
Floating the top plate is essential IMHO because everything has to be supported by the sand.
I have considered different footers and may try some at some point - right now I'm just enjoying.
Being called for dinner but - I have a little follow-up I'll post in awhile.
