raise wheelbarrow to go over low wooden barriers

Hi all,

Newbie query. Old bloke.

See the photo below that I have a back garden that slopes downwards and is divided up with low wooden barriers.
The missus wants it to a bit more level so I have had the low wooden barriers put in to divide up the garden into sections. I'm now going to fill each section up with sand and
gravel. The builders merchant has left the sand and gravel in huge heavy bags in the driveway by the side of the house and I now need to wheelbarrow this over to each section. In order to get the heavy loaded wheelbarrow to the back sections of the garden nearest the back fence, what is the best way to get the loaded wheelbarrow over the low wooden barriers without breaking them. As I say I am old so am looking for most labour saving way to this.
I was thinking maybe I need a ramp or platform with adjustable legs on both ends.
Anyway any advice appreciated. Thanks

 

A shortish plank of wood balanced centrally on those "beams" could act as a seesaw. Wheel the barrow up one side and gravity will then tip the plank down to the other side.

In all honesty though, that design is not ideal, given that you're elderly. Currently they are just trip hazards for you and your wife.

 

How are those planks installed. Can you remove some, fill the section farthest from the bags, reinstall that section's board and then fill in the next section, etc. I did my raised garden by leaving off the front boards until I had shoveled in the bulk of the soil. So much easier

 

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your very helpful ideas.
I've now done this and it was as simple as many of you suggest.
I simply fill the first section to be level with the low wooden barrier. Then wheel the wheelbarrow to the edge of the next section but before I get to the low wooden border at the edge I can tip over the wheelbarrow for the sand/gravel to fall into the next section. This works nicely without damaging the low wooden border. Then repeat for all sections till completed.

Thanks once again for all your help
