The garden wheelbarrow is the best friend of a hardworking and efficient gardener

Even the strongest and most hardworking hands are manyyou won't take it with you. Therefore, working on the garden area come to the aid of various devices for carrying and transporting goods. The most famous in the inventory arsenal - garden car.

It helps the gardener to transport smalldistances (at least within the garden area) other, smaller gardening equipment, soil, humus, liquid fertilizers and other similar goods. Rarely, more than 100 kilograms or liters are transported in her body at a time. Therefore, its construction is lighter than that of a construction car, and less reinforced.

It may seem that, for example, a carUnicycle construction and take more, and lucky on. However, the constant need to transport heavy loads, comparable in volume and weight to building materials, the gardener does not. In addition, despite the increased maneuverability of a one-wheeled car, its weight plus the weight of the load create a greater load on the wheel. This leads to the fact that it is buried in soft ground and makes movement very difficult.

Two-wheeled garden wheelbar slightly heavierone-wheeled, it turns out worse in a limited space. But the load on the wheels is evenly distributed, and the center of gravity does not “walk” either to the left or to the right. This car is very stable when moving and on asphalt, and on the garden path, and along the border of the garden plot.

The best design - with widely spacedhandles, so that between them freely fit people. At the same time, the force vectors are such that with maximum carrying capacity and maintaining maneuverability, the load on the back of the worker is significantly reduced.

Despite the large variety of designs andmodels, fastidious gardener it is very difficult to choose a suitable option. On the other hand, garden owners often have to repair and assemble various appliances themselves. And in the household there may still be usable parts. Practice shows that the garden wheelbarrow with your own hands can be literally assembled from scrap materials. And in a relatively short time.

Structurally, any garden car consists ofbody, chassis and handles with support. As a rule, the least problems arise with the assembly of the body - suitable residues of building materials, glued, knocked down or welded, can go to it. A little more complicated design, if you need a removable board, so that you can carry long instruments. Excellent body for bulk and liquid fertilizer is obtained from the cut along the iron barrel.

Undercarriage, one or two wheel, usuallygo wheel from a bicycle or motorcycle. They are attached to the lower part of the body on ball bearings with the expectation that between the front side of the body and the axle of the chassis there is a distance of approximately one third of the length of the entire wheelbarrow.

Handle and support are made of half-inch steelpipes and attached to the sides of the body. In this case, the support is selected in height so that the garden car dropped on it takes a horizontal position.

Note that even if you have to buy some missing parts, in the end it will still cost you less than purchasing a ready-made garden wheelbarrow.
