Plastic Garden Cart  

Time in the outdoors is necessary for everyone and a great way to spend that outdoor time is in the garden.  A plastic garden cart is useful to have everything you could possibly need at a convenient reach and to toss the unwanted weeds, rocks and thinning and grooming waste in one easy to reach spot.

A cart for the garden can come in a variety of shapes and sizes to best suit your needs and space.  It is generally a rectangular shaped box with two wheels and a single bar handle or two separate handles to grasp.  The materials used to construct a garden cart are either wood, metal or plastic or a combination of more than one.  The more heavy duty plastics or metal materials are best for the avid gardener, or for frequent use, and using to cart around heavy weight.  Steel wheels and axles are most dependable for durability and to use carting over rough terrain, which can still be incorporated into the wood and plastic designs.

The Garden Cart made by E-Z Haul is a perfect starter size or style for some basic gardening tasks.  The heavy duty tub construction will withstand weights of up to 250 lbs. and has a tub capacity of 5.5 cubic feet.  The frame is made of a strong, durable steel and will keep your load secure on any terrain.  You can have your choice of two different wheel styles: the 14 inch Pneumatic Rib tire or the 13.5 inch Flat Proof solid rib tire.  The solid rib tire is more expensive but can be a better choice if you’ll be using it on terrain that is harder on tires and may be likely to flatten.  The easy to clean poly tub and ergonomic design will make your cart use and cleanup the simple part of your gardening.  The sloped end and dumping ability provides many benefits for the user and the quality materials and construction means this cart will last for years.

The uses for a wheelbarrow and a garden cart can overlap and you may need only one or the other depending on your situation.  Wheelbarrows can generally hold more weight and are most useful for transporting over all kinds of terrain and for the easy dumping ability.  Although you can get a wheelbarrow with two wheels at the front, a wheelbarrow is most functional with one front tire that’s big and bouncy for the traveling.  The single tire style allows for the greatest flexibility in movement, which means sharp turns are easier as well as twisting to dump when needed.  The drawbacks to wheelbarrows are the balancing on one wheel and the sloping high sides.

With garden carts being mostly flat on the bottom and low sides to easily get things from the cart or to toss things in they are much more appropriate for the ground level work in the garden.  The cart will be able to carry a number of items and still have room to be able to toss in your weeding efforts and pickings from the garden.  A plastic garden cart will be a great option for gardening at any level of involvement and be a nice lightweight cart to move around.
