Home-Built Garden Cart
 ✖  |
"My wife wanted a garden cart. When we looked at my neighbor's cart, we decided that the $250 he had paid for the cart was too much and that the wheels on the cart were too small to use in the garden any-way. I set out to build my own," says B J. Neufeld, Gouldtown, Sask.
Neufeld used 26 in. bicycle wheels mounted on either side of a lightweight plywood cargo box. The frame of the cart was fashioned out of galvanized electrical conduit that was formed with a pipe bender. He used steel mesh in the bottom of the cargo box so that rain and dirt would fall through. If he needs to haul dirt he simply puts a piece of plastic or plywood over the mesh.
"My wife says she can haul 100 lbs. of produce through the garden with no problem. If the load is too heavy to push, she turns herself around and pulls it. My kids enjoy pulling themselves around in the cart," says Neufeld.
