mothercranky Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Oh dear, well we've bough THIS. Does it count as the type of folding wheelbarrow you're all on about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cky Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) grr just been to two B&Qs and they only had a crappy floppy wheel version! though the girlfriend did find some lovely pink wellies went to focus DIY and found one of these for £19.99 so i think i might grab that tomorrow.. http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/Product...ProductID=13138 Edited April 29, 2007 by r0cky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a robot Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 are horses allowed then? - could have a big bbq then as well ... where's that bloke who's eating anything ... tried horse yet ? mark " was thinking quad bike preferably" dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark dale Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I got one of those - put it together (to make sure it was all there) - Looks great and a lot of fun for my daughter but not actually sure if i am going to take it to Glaostonbury. For a start the wheels dont have bolts just push on hub cap type things. So now Im not sure if I can fully dismantle it again. Plus the wood just slots in and out a bit too easy and raincover would not I imagine be very rain proof. It looks cool - if we do take it im gonna make Darren wear a horses head! Or I thought about decorating it gypsy style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspud Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 hmmm is it hardy enough for a glasto trip? - i'm not too worried about being able to take it apart, as it will fit into my truck no probs .. just want something durable .... mark " likes my trucks tough " dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a robot Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 check out www.wmac.co.uk,got myself a sweet deal £17.99,just the ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beans Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 you work for them, advocating them as your first post? price seems good, though the site leaves a lot to be desired - no info on the product (weight of truck, max load weight, wheel psi etc..) and the shipping is a bit dodgy - automatically assigns me nice looking £4.99 delivery charge but at the bottom it says any wrong options will be automatically altered - in this case the £4.99 charge applies only to anything weighing less than a fishing reel! the real price id pay would be £7.95. all in all going down my local DIY will prove cheaper and less dodgy seeming, but cheers for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Just one thing. if you have not used a wheelbarrow on uneven terrain nor pushed a full one uphil, try before you buy. Whith wheelbarrows you have to lift and push at the same time and they can be difficult to balance. We have a 4 wheel garden cart with big wheels that works great, just pull along and it can manage any bumps or mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a robot Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 gah well ive been around about four B&Qs now and scoured every corner, asked every staff member and looked some more but to no avail. they had some blue ones with tiny wheels - useless! went with the focus one for £19.99, didnt measure car for it but it only just bloody fits! payload of 150kg been wheeling my friend around his uneven/broken brick back garden today - great stuff and he is 75kg! incidentally whats the payload on the B&Q trucks, 150kg i imagine?

Tenner Huey Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Fairly sure it's 200kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LusciousLucy Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 WHAT are the chances of being able to get hold of a plastic sledge in the middle of May? Should I advertise in my local rag perhaps as a Wanted item? There are 2 on ebay as Buy It Now...reasonable enough prices too. No toy store would have any in stock would they this time of year?

Tenner Huey Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 http://www.newitts.com/product/IT001664/Plastic_Sledge.htm 1st result on google, there's no doubt lots more around. Should be quite easy to find! Still reckon the B&Q option is the way forward though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
