Alright Dara, I did some digging around, and I came up with this.
To begin with, here’s a written guide to using the basics of sandboxhttp://maxcrysis.com/thebasics.php
After that, go here. This guy put up 13 videos explaining how to everything from the basics right up to the hard stuff in sandboxhttp://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?us…
And finally, if any of those videos/tutorials missed anything, try this last video. It might cover what was missed.http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/9866
Hope that helps man

Preasure treated lumber in the USA does NOT contain arsnec any more. It has been several years since any treated lumber you could buy contained arsnic.
If you buy newly treaded lumber for your sand box it will last for years and years. On the other hand if you only need the sand box to last say 3 to 5 years then regular pine should be sufficent. It will start to rot at the end of that time period unless you keep it painted etc.
For the cost you might just consider pine/fur/spruce and prime and paint it before you install it. It should last for several years.
I would dig the dirt out for several inches down to add depth to your sand box. You could put down a layer of plastic, but your children will dig through it sooner or later. Better they just learn to stop at the dirt. The bigger the sand box the more sand you need to don’t go too big unless you can have a truck drop off a load of sand (it is way cheaper this way too).
Also to cut down on lumber costs you could drive a 2 x 4 into the ground for your corners and use 1 x stock instrad of 2 x stock. Then you just atach the 1 xs to the 2 x 4s with screws and you have a frame.
