Folding Wheelbarrows

[Winged one]

I was looking at getting one of these too so would be interested to see how you get on Two Sheds. I don't have anywhere to store a barrow on the plot (no shed and would be afraid of it wheeling itself away if left loose). So I have to bring everything in the boot of the car everytime I go up, and a proper barrow wouldn't fit in mine (might in OH's but he'd laugh too much at me).

At the moment, I use a plastic bucket/trug thing (it's quite flexible so it's a round bucket on the ground but the handles come together when you are holding it). Which is ok for weeding, but not great for getting water (a long way from our plot), manure (that's usually piled a fair bit away too) or bringing lots of stuff from the car (looooong walk involved). So I was thinking of getting one over the winter for when next season arrives.

Must say I find my foldy barrow to be a right pain - it is just too unstable! If you get the load even a little off to one side or the other or even too far forward or back from the mid point the contraption is inclined to twist over or fold itself - highly annoying.

The answer, of course, is stop trying to put too much in.....

Yeah, right!

If you hadn't already bought one you could have had mine!

I've unpacked it now and ... not such a bargain. Was supplied with a flat tyre, so have to go out and buy a pump now. Grrrr!

(I did try and use it flat, but everything fell out all over the place)

Can't you take it back two sheds? Even if it was a sale item it should still be fit for purpose. How annoying for you.

I agree with you there Lainey Lou, yo ushould be able to take it back TwoSheds. Even though it's a sale item, it still needs to be 'fit for purpose'
