Garden Carts & Wagons: 5 Stylish and Sturdy Favorites
[ad_1]
For the larger plot, a garden wagon is indispensable. Sturdy, spacious, and easy to pull around paths as you work, these hard-working trolleys make light work of even the most grueling garden jobs.
With an array of functions (drop sides, tipper options, pneumatic tires, collapsible frames) and varying sizes, which to choose? Key features depend very much on the jobs you want to use it for—a bed that flips up makes dumping huge piles of green waste into the compost pile a whole lot easier; drop-down sides come in handy if moving heavy pots around the garden is important. And then there are the jobs you may never have thought of—the garden wagon doesn’t need to be kept for garden duty only—the best can double up as a spacious mobile bar for a garden party, too.
Here are 5 favorite stylish and sturdy garden wagons.
Above: The original Vermont garden cart combines a steel frame with large steel wheels and axle that removes much of the effort from moving large loads. The Midsize Cart ($595) has a removable front panel allowing longer items to be easily transported. Above: The sleek steel-framed Handy (£299.99) is arguably the toughest wagon you’ll find with a raft of features including puncture-proof tires, a 300kg capacity and a tipper function. It can also be towed with a garden tractor and has drop down sides to convert to a flatbed. Above: The chicest wagon leapt to fame when used en masse at The Newt and Pig hotels. Designed in Belgium, the rust-proof and waterproof Wagon with Basket (1,016 euros), by Tradewinds, is not only a stylish prop for any bucolic fantasy, it will also carry loads up to 150kg. It weighs just 20kg, and the basket can also be detached from the trolley. Above: The no-nonsense steel Gorilla Cart ($159) can be pulled by hand or towed by an ATV or tractor for heavier loads (up to 1,000 pounds). Its mesh side panels are removable for easy conversion into a flatbed.
Above: The Medium Gardener’s Supply Cart ($459.99) has big pneumatic wheels that will tackle rough terrain and a large capacity for loads, which can easily be tipped through the opening end panel. The rust-proof aluminum frame keeps the whole cart light and a foam grip on the long handle makes the cart super-comfortable to push or pull, even in winter.
