Outdoor litter tray?

Has anyone got a covered litter tray outside for their cat, or alternatively a sandbox? My cat mostly poos in the garden but I’d like to confine it to one place. Please give me a link to brand or details of the dimensions if a sandbox. Thanks.

My parents cat used my mums herb garden! They kept it on one place.

How can you train a cat just to use a litter tray when there's all that lovely earth just waiting to be dug? Genuine question. As soon as our cats had been 'adjusted' when we first got them, the litter tray was of no interest (unless it's absolutely p...down with rain)

I would love to know this! As we have a litter tray indoors but our 1 year old cat refuses to go outside and comes in to use it and then buggers off again outside! We have sprinkled used litter outside etc...... I would love a waterproof litter tray for outside.

We have one. it's like a rabbit hutch with the front open and we have two large metal catering trays in it for our two cats. we use the wood pellets and compost it all in the garden waste bin it's so much easier than having it inside. it's at the bottom of the garden behind the bins so the cats get some extra privacy too!

I have a deep bed with just soil, sitting directly on soil that they use. Every few days I rake it over and remove poo. It has a couple of catnip plants growing in it which encourages them.

There isn't, though. It's grass and he poos in it, as I find when I cut it.
