RE: Re: wheelbarrows

F* C*

Judy,

Locally, we have a volunteer group that is affiliated with the North
Carolina Outward Bound Center.  They have 15-passenger vans outfitted with a
durable rack on top that carries two wheelbarrows and has a ladder to climb
up and retrieve them 404-298-8900 x208 Matt Hicks.  I've seen landscapers
with pick-up trucks with a similar approach to wheelbarrow storage.

Or you can just skip the wheel barrows and use tarps or canvass bags, but
they wear out from being dragged around (you see this used with leaves more
than anything else).  Also, if there are trash cans on site, the ones with
wheels are pretty good for hauling mulch and compost and whatever, as long
as the surfaces are smooth (see earlier messages about pathways).

I just know somebody is going to come on line with some idea that is better
than this and make me look stupid, but it's all I can think of right now.
I've never even seen a folding wheelbarrow, must be a mid-atlantic thing.

Seeking advice concerning wheelbarrows

1.The tires on ours go flat nearly right away; very annoying.  Anyone have 
good tech tips on this?

2. Wheelbarrows are useful but take up so much space carrying them to 
workdays around town.  Does anyone out there have experience with reliable 
and easy to manage folding wheelbarrows?  Can you explain the pros and cons,

the cost, brands, and sources to purchase?

Thanks,
