What a waste of time , why not buy prper barrow in first place , or do you just like buying work !
Jeez, what’s wrong with fixing things
Pick your items to fix - the time, effort, materials, required to make a ten quid garden barrow a bit better don't make much sense to me either I have to admit. Never going to be a builders barrow, and just be annoying when trying to use it as one.Jeez, what’s wrong with fixing things

If you can find me barrows at £10 I'll fix them all day long. A middling one is thick end of £40 these days. Builder's barrows are better but they are not cheap either.

301 litre blue food drums cut diagonally top to bottom and put on a brickies redundant /repaired barrow chassis are good , they carry & pour concrete admirably .Indeed. This one I'm playing with is the "Walsall" that sells for £38 in B&Q. How they have the front to call it "heavy duty" is beyond me. Galvanised yes, but very thin metal. I've done heavier farts.
