Wheel Barrow for £40

Just been given 40 quid from my Gran (bless her) to buy a new wheelbarrow for my birthday. What should i get and where from? I've got a homebase, B and Q and a couple of garden centres near me but no idea what to look for (its just for general purpose in the garden), any help would be grately appreciated for a new gardener!! :thumb:

Hi Andy. Welcome to GC For £40 a bl**dy good one. Or even buy a new spade as well.:D

 

:D:D...Spot on :thumb:

 

Go to the builders merchant and buy a hamerlin contractors barrow, the gardencentre/ b&q ones are cra*.

 

Your over-spending for people again Paul. The cheapest Haemerlin is nearer £50 plus shipping. The more expensive ones about £80 plus shipping. Andy is not a professional he just wants it for trundling round the garden. You may need the best. Your amateur gardener, unless rich, does not.

 

£40 from travis perkins and will last a lifetime (although I do get trade discount)

 

Andy,don't you know any building site workers?

 

:D:D:D

 

thanks so much guys, there is a travis perkins round the corner and i'll ask for a discount and smile!! :D My thought was that B and Q etc were a bit on the steep side!

I don't know any builders, although there is a big development being build in my neigbours garden so i may go and pester them

 

If you're gonna spend silly money why not go the whole hog?..:D

B&Q have some for 34.99 look to be well made. Green frame, galvanised bucket (if thats the right word). Bought one two weeks ago and it does the job well. Cleans up nicely, even after mixing up lots of conrete in it.

Pal don't let Paul see that. He will want us all to buy 3 each.:D

 

..:D..
