drying out old sand inside or out?

Better yet, get a tarp, stretch it out and pin it down so it doesnt billow with any breeze and spread er out. On good early summer day of sunshine will dry it out well

The big reason I don't want to do this outside is the creepy crawlies, also the wind.

I managed to bone dry a small amount maybe 10lbs in a 5 gallon bucket I put a fan over it and stirred it up a few times. Of course doing it like this would take 30 days but today I am trying to increase the amount. Eventually I hope to get it into 3-5 five gallon buckets so its easily stored and easy to transport. The one thing I did not like about 30 gallon rubbermaid I have is once I put it down I'll never be able to lift it again. Keeping it to 50-100lbs buckets makes it at least moveable.

If you have the room in a basement, I've seen a guy do something similar with one of those cheap Canadian tire hard plastic kiddy pools.
