From Wheel Barrow To Trekking Trolley.

This was one of those cheaply made little wheel barrows, one we inherited from my Mother-In-Law. It was rusted away & not of much use as a barrow, so I cut off the bits I wanted & turned them into a trekking Trolley.

I cut a couple of regrowth saplings from our coppice, & inserted them into the part that holds the wheel. Drilled through the original holes & through the sapling handles then bolted on the wheel. The legs I turned upside down & used as a way of stopping any gear from rubbing on the wheel. Leg braces I used as a platform on which to tie down baggage.

Id put some pallet boards up the rails and make it carry a bit more better but great recycle
