Thumbs down what sand can i use?????

Hello
I need some advice please.
I have a large tortoise enclosure which is about 8ftx 8ft which i normally fill with top soil and play sand at a 50/50 mix. However i need aver a ton of soil and the same in play sand. It costs a fortune keep buying small bags.
Can i use soft sand which is available to buy in bulk??

Would love to hear any advice you have.
Sorry should have said its for leopard tortoises (adults)

I'm not sure that the red/brown building sand would be okay but I don't know.

I only have soil out there in my garden, no sand and they haven't complained about it
