 Thought to measure up how much the cost would be using fence palings, H3 treated pine, with some other wood for the handles. Never thought to use fence palings. I like to have the barrow wood thick enough not to bow with a load of potting mix, hence 17mm instead of 12mm.  Looks to be about $57, could try and cut down in the total length by using one length for the handle and cutting diagonally. (Now I’m off to measure the lengths of wood used in a wishing well. Will last longer if made from fence pairings treated with copper. Thanks for the question.
