“Flatbed” 2-Wheeled Wheelbarrow
The poly tub on his 2-wheeled wheelbarrow didn’t stand up to heavy use, so Ray Yount of Kellogg, Idaho, converted it into a “flatbed” that can easily handle the toughest hauling jobs.
  He removed the tub and used 2 by 4’s and 2 by 6’s to construct a platform over the handle shafts, adding a 1 1/2-ft. high wood retaining wall on front.
  “I had been using the wheelbarrow to haul 60-lb. concrete retaining wall blocks while doing terrace work around my home, but lifting the blocks in and out of the tub caused it to split,” says Yount. “I thought something more open with a beefier platform would take more abuse.”
