Product Information

Again, whether you should buy a plastic or metal wheelbarrow will come down to your own personal needs. For shifting heavy loads, you are better off with a metal model as they tend to be much stronger and more durable than their plastic counterparts, but they are usually more expensive (the good ones anyway). There’s also the issue with rust and corrosion, and although this problem can be contained a bit by getting a galvanised barrow like the one we featured from Walsall Wheelbarrows, it will eventually get scratched off with regular use. There are a few ways of looking at size though. Firstly, there are the actual dimensions of the wheelbarrow- height, width, etc. and these are obviously very important when you think about storage space in the garage, getting the barrow in and out of the shed door and through gates, and just generally manoeuvring it around. Trying to deftly move a huge wheelbarrow around a very small and narrow garden isn’t going to be fun, so you might want something smaller like the Crazy gadget model. This VonHaus model is one of the best wheelbarrows for anyone looking for something more stable than a 3-point traditional wheelbarrow. With its strong powder coated steel frame, and stable wheel base, it will stand up to the pressures of everyday gardening tasks. In general, you want to look for sturdy wheels that are able to easily take the weight of heavy loads.

For infrequent wheelbarrow use, you’ll likely find a solid tire is more practical; these don’t deflate over time like a pneumatic wheel and can be left in the shed or garage for years, ready for use at the drop of a hat. For most gardening tasks, a capacity of between 80 to 120 L is should be adequate for most circumstances. Steel is far stronger than plastic, meaning even smaller steel wheelbarrows will likely have a larger weight capacity than bigger plastic models. If you struggle to keep a standard wheel barrow stable, a two-wheeled model can offer more stability . Just be aware that these have a wider wheelbase and can be challenging to navigate around tight corners.Maximum weight load is also something to look out for. Smaller steel wheelbarrows will likely be able to carry more weight than a large-yet-flimsy plastic one! Sometimes it’s better to buy a smaller wheelbarrow of better quality, than buy something bigger for the same price and find that it breaks after a short time. Galvanised throughout and manufactured with a rigid tubular frame, this wheelbarrow is well made. It’s smaller than the other wheelbarrows featured here, making it easier to store and ideal for smaller gardens. I recently saw a comment from a customer that mirrored my own thoughts about how this product could be improved, and that was with some kind of drainage plug. I understand that for moving compost and similar you need a solid bottom, but that also means rain water can build up in there, and the high sides make it harder to tip it out without laying it down on its side. Some way to remove that water easily would be a nice addition in the future. Pros Introducing: the Kidsnado W Puncture-Proof Wheels Wheelbarrow; a 200 L wheelbarrow that will dramatically reduce the number of trips you need to make in the garden. And that’s no exaggeration! Very happy Husband after receiving his very practical new gift. Fantastic wheelbarrow, super fast delivery, great price. Highly recommended

Arrived on time. Lovely big product as discribed. Have given 4 stars because it had a few sharp edges when putting together so you have to be careful.Would buy again from this company. Very happy with this product The VonHaus Heavy Duty Two Wheeled Wheelbarrow makes it a breeze to navigate through the garden; its two-wheel design makes it much more stable than traditional single-wheel models, and it can even be pushed and pulled with one hand. Then there is the capacity of the wheelbarrow. This is often shown in litres, such as 75 litres, or 85 litres as in the case of the Draper 85L metal barrow. It could also be shown in a maximum weight load in either kilograms or pounds, and is sometimes shown in both litres and maximum weight. The maximum weight advertised isn’t always accurate though, so take it with a pinch of salt. The one in this photo was advertised as being able to hold over 160kg, but when we tested it, we thought different: Wheelbarrow suggests it can handle 160kg but from testing I would strongly disagree!!! I have a non-gardening, DIY-hating friend who just can’t get his head around my array of tools and equipment and the money I spend on them. He’s into expensive sound systems for his home, so we enjoy ribbing each other over these things.

Another thing to look out for when it comes to wheels, is the quality of the bearings used, as this will directly affect the performance of the wheels. Not only do good bearings ensure a smooth roll, but it can also affect the durability of the wheels, especially under heavier loads. What can I use a wheelbarrow for? After giving it a lot of thought, I figured that I’d choose something that was big enough to handle medium sized loads, but not so big that it wouldn’t fit in the greenhouse. Then I thought about people whose greenhouses or sheds are already full, and that would mean leaving the wheelbarrow outside, so being weather resistant was another factor.
