Been after a new(reduced) wheelbarrow/cart for a while, stumbled into a homebase and found this one.
This Saxon garden cart is ideal for moving heavy objects, loose soil or garden waste. Colour: Green Features: Removable mesh sides to create a platform, attachable liner for moving soil or loose items Includes: 10" pneumatic tyres with steel rims, polysester liner Dimensions: (H)83, (W)48.5cm Maximum weight supported: 250kg Length: 100cm
This was reduced a further £2 from the clearance price of £37.97 cannot find the original price but similar seem to go for around £60+
plenty of stock, checked London, Birmingham, Wales) . There was also a folding one for around £30 loads on the shelf but not on line so may be limited availability depending on store, I can't even find something similar to show an image.
No one else seems to stock these, there are a few of these hitting ebay(£40+) so I suspect they have been around for a while, retail in the US for around £55. For the gorilla here are the numbers from the box(says No.464 of 1252) bar code : 722571011291 art No : 392156 PO No. : 5500174591

I don't see much in the way of deals for garden carts on their website. The one linked to is only under £3 off. Why is this deal getting vote hot?

Helps if you read:

Our metal one went rusty quickly.
also if you do a sharp turn the front wheels are under the cart and it becomes precariously unbalanced at the font if the load is there.

The folding ones are not very sturdy at all - at least going by the number abandoned around Glastonbury last year with bits missing etc.
I got two and a load of spares from others from said ones to make two good ones for some friends.

I don't think it was much more, because when I was looking into buying a garden cart the other month I looked at that one because it was cheap. But I decided it was rubbish because the front axle pivots on a bolt that is just welded to the front cross-member. This is absolutely the failure point for cheap carts. You put a moderately heavy load in the cart, turn the front wheels to pull it away, and all the load is on that one point. Sooner or later that point will bend or shear off and the cart becomes useless.
I still haven't found a decent garden cart at a cheap price. In fact because the cheap Chinese carts seem much of a muchness I think I will not bother with one. I have been looking at professional quality balance carts but I balk at the price, though of course one of those would pretty much last for ever if looked after. These cheapies don't shout longevity, or even ease of use, to me.

If the pivot bolt goes right through the front cross-member, rather than just being welded to the bottom of it, then I think for £20 that would be an excellent deal. Alas I think the chances of finding one at that price is probably zero.

Could you kidly confirm where they keep them in the store, is it outside with the wheelbarrows or inside the shop ?
