So it's time to buy yourself a wheelbarrow.
You go to your local hardware store and there they are.
After looking at a few, you start to notice some differences.
Some trays are plastic, some trays are steel.
Some wheels are thin, some wheels are thick
Some frames are flat steel, some are steel tubing
Some trays are shallow, some are deep.
Some cost less than $100, some cost over $300.
What have I gotten myself into?
What's important for what I need to do in the garden.
Well, this video was made just for you.
I go through every aspect of what makes up a wheelbarrow, so you can work out what's most important for your needs.
There's no need to waste money buying something that is not up to the task. There's also no need to spend a fortune buying a top-of-the-line wheelbarrow to move 1kg of dirt.
I hope you not only get some good info from this video, I hope you also find it enjoyable.
As always, please feel free to ask me any questions in the comments section.

Litereally the best wheelbarrow buying guide.

You briefly praised the 2 wheeled barrow for its stability, BUT when used in undulating areas which is very common, they tend to become unstable & prone to tipping.

You literally answered all the issues I had with my last wheelbarrow, I'll definitely be able to buy a better one this time around. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it was super helpful!

I just rebuilt my thirty year old 3 cubi8c foot wheelbarrow a month ago. Today I went out and the tire was flat, I found a video identifying ways to avoid flat tires on wheelbarrows, and I'm experimenting with running a bead of grease inside the wheel. So far, it aired up easily ---THAT's a change! Very glad to see your summary of different kinds of wheelbarrows, I see You Tube videos on a lot of additional types, including electrically powered and barrows with dump features. I'm sticking with my old barrow, but seeing the different types is an education. It seems that wheelbarrows are VEHICLES, not simple tools. The details of your vehicle can matter a lot depending on what you use it for. I got thumbs up #57. I'm surprised there aren't more.

Fantastic video! I did not know what I was in for before looking for a wheelbarrow and you answered my questions pretty spot on! it's nice to know that local companies are just as good as what's available somewhere else. Wonderful ending, as well, by the way- loved it!

I liked the wooden handles on my steel tub wheelbarrow, but it stayed out in the weather too much and they rotted and broke just when I needed to use it. I replaced them with steel handles from big box store and haven't looked back. Received a poly tub brand new with some parts and bought a set of steel handles for it and am thinking of putting dual wheels on it. My knees are worn out and I think the dual wheels will be more stable for me to use. I have watched several You Tube videos on wheelbarrows and some of them are okay, but this is one of the best and straight to the point! You did a great service for us!

Great video. I always thought a wheelbarrow was just a wheelbarrow. I'll be checking out this video again very shortly as I will be buying a new wheelbarrow. Thanks again. 👍

Good practical video guide. I've helped pour a few slabs wheeling barrow loads of concrete but so long ago that I cannot recall the details. This was genuinely helpful. Cheers. :-)

I'm regretting having settled for a cheap true temper wheel barrow a few years ago. I replaced the tire last year,now it needs new handles and the tray metal is cracking around the bolts. I'm negotiating with my brother in law who found a jackson tradesman folded steel wheelbarrow that needs new handles,but the rest is super solid. It retails for $430 new here in the USA. I'll probably end up paying him more for his old jackson,than my true temper was new,but the quality is worth a $40 pair of handles. I haul alot of firewood and stone and it's hard on them.

I bought a stanley weelbareow exactly the one in the demonstation. the yellow one. I loved it. the only problem is the air tube ( valph ) its not long enough to pump when the tyre is a bit flat. I have looked at bunnings for spare tyres but they dont have any. Is there a place i get it or can another wheelbarrow tyre fits the type ive got?

This Stanley is one of the worst wheelbarrows ever made. It is destroying the reputation of both Bunnings and Stanley. If you go to the Bunnings online catalog you will see it gets 18 one-star reviews out of 19! That must be some kind of record! I don't understand why they continue to sell it. Mine has rusted through where the long yellow supports meet the bin. It is totally unusable after 3 years. Many folks have had problems with tire inflation too. You are not alone!
