Got leaves?
Got shrub or tree trimmings?
Got clippings, straw, hay, yard or garden waste, wood chips, mulch, or snow?
Need to move voluminous material to a compost pile, curb, woods, or dumpster?
Save time and move it with the Wonder Barrow!
This site describes the Wonder Barrow (WB) (Your own wheelbarrow enhanced by the Wheelbarrow Expander). The WB is a huge garden cart to move lightweight materials such as vegetation.
Here you will learn how you can expand the capacity of your wheelbarrow by a factor of 8 through features as follows:
- Versatile (replaces a very large garden cart).
- Versatile (Easily customized for most any wheelbarrow).
- Versatile (Use it for leaves, lawn clippings, tree trimmings, brush, straw, hay, mulch, wood chips, firewood, etc.).
- Easy to install with one person.
- Easy to load and unload (Click on “VIEW VIDEOS” in the upper right to see these WB operations).
- Tough enough to outlast any wheelbarrow.
- It takes very little storage space.
- Unlike a 2-wheel garden cart, the Wonder Barrow with a single wheel can be used to haul large loads on hillsides.
- A 9×9 poly drawstring tarp cover is included along with its ejector rope to easily dump the entire contents.
- Resourceful: An ordinary used king size bed sheet (or deep queen size) with spent elastic is also an excellent cover for many lightweight materials.
- The Expander is satisfaction guaranteed. (Ask for a full refund within 1 year if not completely satisfied)
- You can expect the Expander frame to last indefinately.
- The ropes and cover may wear out after many years depending on the intensity of use, but these are very inexpensive to replace.
The two pictures below show a wheelbarrow with the Expander accessory. The first pictures shows one with a fitted canvas cover. The second pictures show a cover from a fitted queen size bed sheet.
The WB can hold about 40 cubic feet of leaves in this configuration where it can be loaded from the top.
It can also be loaded part way from the side by tipping it and raking leaves into it.
In another configuration, it can be loaded from the back for materials that are more dense, such as mulch or wood chips. With this back-loading configuration, your WB can also be partially loaded from the side for material such for leaves, but that would not be the preferred configuration for a very low density load such as leaves.
See the menu in the upper right corner above for additional information on the WB. The VIEW VIDEOS link shows the WB in loading and dumping operations. After viewing the videos, and the capabilities of the WB seem useful, the VIEW SLIDE SHOW link is a good place to start, as it is a place to become assured that the Wonder Barrow will work for you. The ALTERNATIVES link shows other ways to manage leaves and other voluminous materials. The WHEELBARROW TRAY TYPES link provides a picture so you know how to measure and confirm compatibility with your needs. The ORDER FORM provides the questions for the answers I need to meet your specific needs for a WB.
