It is important to choose a wheelbarrow that is fit for your needs:
- where will you be pushing it to?
- what sort of ground will you be pushing it over – gravel, bogs??
- will the barrow fit down your narrow passages, or through your gates?
- what will you be carrying?
- what capacity would you prefer?
Choose a barrow:
- that suits your needs
- that you can handle easily – try them out
- with the number of wheels to suit your purpose - two-wheeled barrows are easier to push and balance with a heavy load
- narrow tyres are easy to move down narrow paths
- wide tyres are better for heavy loads and will be easier to push over soft ground
- deep bodies are easier to balance & hold more
- plastic bodies are lighter and won’t corrode, leak or rust
- sunlight makes plastic bodies brittle, but metal bodies are easily scratched, rust & leak
- stainless steel bodies will keep in good condition for a long time, but will be heavier
- wooden handles are more comfortable to hold, metal handles are cold in winter
Visit a garden centre when you choose a wheelbarrow, and try several out, then go home and consider the options before making a decision.
