Go to the builders merchants and whichever they have most of, that is possibly the one you need. Get a small tin of 3 in 1 oil to lube the wheel bearing they sweek often. Beware the only thing stolen on our site was wheel barrows (X2), so don't go wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redoctober Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Try and get a "puncture proof" one - may save you a lot of hassle in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Any one - any one at all will do. Provided you never ever lend it to anyone else You've hit a raw spot - can you tell? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonner Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Galvanised one from Wickes, has been surprisingly tough for the price. Don’t go overboard, expect it to be destroyed or nicked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I lost a wheelbarrow too. Didn't realise it was a 'thing' until now. Keep an eye on Facebook market place for cheap 'disposable' wheelbarrows and use them to destruction; even when they're proper knackered you can often still salvage a spare wheel. Alternatively, save yourself the hassle and get whatever your local BM sells the most of, x2 (one barrow is never enough 😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrymartin Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Prior to this thread (and therefore prior to considering how I would make sure it wouldn't be stolen) I had the Belle Warrior 100L with 4-Ply Tyre (02204) @ £180ish incl VAT on my list of purchases if we ever get planning permission... It seems to be one of the most highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooda Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Belle Warrior is the bees knees, but is highly nickable - being Orange does not help. We managed with a heavy duty welded barrow that I had for ages, and also a barrow that the brickie's brought with them and left as it was in such a bad state. We also had a folding sack truck from costco. Toolmaster Folding 159kg/350lb Capacity Hand Truck | Cost... (costco.co.uk) But should have had one of these:- Cosco 3 in 1 Aluminium 992lb / 450kg Capacity Hand Truck ... (costco.co.uk) Do not under estimate how many times you will move stuff around on a self build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSB Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 we bought one from Travis Perkins, solid wheel so no punctures. It was about £40 (with trade discount) and has been brilliant and very hard wearing. We do use an old one through for the mortar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
