If you are going to do a good bit of your own landscaping, or gardening eventually you'll need a solid wheel barrel. But you must understand that not all wheel barrels are created equally, and you shouldn't just jump at that sale priced one that you see in the junk mail ads. There are many lost leader units that are sold by the major home improvement centers, but if you buy a cheap one you'll be sorry later.
Often, the bearings will go out and they will squeak, or the tire will go flat because it is not solid rubber, and still these are only a few of the problems that occur. If the wheel barrel is too flimsy your load will start to shift and it will turn itself over dumping everything inside on the ground. We've all done that a time or two in our lives.
Maybe you've seen wheelbarrels where the bolts inside the bucket, which bolts onto the frame are rusted. This is a mistake from the manufacturer that should have used stainless steel bolts, but to save money they didn't. So whereas, you got a good deal, it has insufficient parts. Quality and price are a trade-off and yet, there are still other issues you must be concerned with when shopping for such a outdoor home improvement tool.
For instance, you should consider the size of the wheelbarrel. Buying a quality unit does not mean you need the biggest size, you need a size that is right for you and that can fit in the walkways in between where you will be taking it, and one you can control. If you get the wrong size wheelbarrel it will take all the fun out of your gardening, because you will be fighting it, as you push it around the yard. Please consider all this.
