Half wheel barrow for Bromeliads

Half wheel barrow for Bromeliads

I like putting Bromeliads in wooden barrows. To save making the whole barrow. Half a barrow was made.

The result, with some friends having a ride.

Without the little wooden planters having a ride.

 The sections that extend up at the front, are for a tying point. 

 

I used some reclaimed timber, I found a Bunnings handheld rotary planner very handy for removing old paint.

The pallet wood determined the width of tray.

Re: Half wheel barrow for Bromeliads

Hello @Jamespeter100

 

Thank you so much for sharing a diagram and pictures of your half wheelbarrow. It is indeed a very versatile plant stand as you've clearly demonstrated with the addition of friendly passengers. Would it be possible for you to give a brief description of how the wheel was assembled? Any extra information you can share with our members would be much appreciated.

 

Again, thank you for sharing such a wonderful project. We look forward to seeing your next creation.

 

Eric

 

See something interesting? Give it the thumbs up!

Re: Half wheel barrow for Bromeliads

Hi Eric

 

good point. 
I’ll do up an instruction set for a wheel under the heading of making a wooden wheel for a wooden barrow”.  For now, some instructions nested under a milk cart. https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Featured-Projects/Milk-cart-planter/ta-p/94107
