after this lot, time to have a rest.
Hi @Jamespeter100,
Those look fantastic. I especially like the one made out of natural branches. Many thanks for including some details on how you constructed these amazing wheelbarrows. I trust any of our members who wanted to re-create them will appreciate you taking the time to do so.
Well done.

A group of bromeliads which are epiphytes. They love it in a wooden barrow.
Bunnings daffodils, in a barrow from Bunnings pallets, with a Bunnings Christmas tree holder for a wheel, next to Bunnings half wine barrels.
Looks terrific. Many thanks for the update @Jamespeter100. Hope you are staying safe and well.

Hi,
Im wanting to make some wooden wheelbarrow planters as the ones I have are rotting. Does anyone have plans and a list of materials that I would need to do this?
Thank you Chele
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Chele1. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about locating plans.
I'd suggest the best place to find plans would be by searching Google for wooden wheelbarrow planter plans. You'll find quite a few to choose from. However, let me mention @Jamespeter100 to see if he is able to provide some for the wheelbarrows he creates.
I think you'll find that a lot of these planters are made from scraps of timber and are pieced together with what is on hand. This adds to their rustic charm.
Let me know if you find a suitable set of plans and we'll wait to see if the guru @Jamerspeter100 replies. If not, I'll attempt to create some plans for you.
It’s a great feeling I can share this design with others. I think I uploaded this drawing I did years ago. Within the last few years. I drew it so long ago it’s in inches. I’ll see if I can redraw it in metric. The wheel in this version is cut from a panel of wood. However. Since these days I make them correctly with the spokes. Sing out for more note re construction if need be.
Many thanks for uploading that diagram @Jamespeter100! I'm sure @Chele1 will appreciate the detail included.

Thank you for your help, hopefully I’ll make the wheelbarrows soon.
Keep us updated on your project @Chele1, and please reach out if you get stuck. We can't wait to see what you create!
A few years ago, Bunnings sold Christmas tree holders. They make great wheels for decorative wheelbarrows.
I look amazing. Yes you need to have a beer and relax and chill but it looks fantastic The plants seem to really thrive as well
Hi @sparkles,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it's fantastic to have you join us.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think it looks fantastic. The plants really do seem to thrive in the wheelbarrow planters.

Hi @Jamespeter100,Another marvellous wheelbarrow planter to add to your growing collection.Such a creative way to utilise free materials.Thank you so much for sharing.Jacob
I’ve been retired for a few years, and all I want to do is make wooden wheelbarrows. Here I’ve used “Bunnings Green” for the handles. At first I thought it would be copyrighted, but no, it’s available no fuss. The wooden cow planter didn’t eat any of the plants in the wheelbarrow. My back garden is full of wooden projects.
I love it @Jamespeter100, well done! Your wheelbarrows look fantastic. You should pick up some Bunnings red too. It would make a great colour for highlights and really complete the theme!
Will do.
