9 Best Garden Wheelbarrows UK 2023 | Draper, Walsall and More

When we heard about this excellent option from Gardeburk, we knew practically instantly that it would be our number one, and we'll tell you why. Firstly, the ratio between the weight of the object and the maximum weight it can carry is ridiculous, giving you a lot of oomph for little heft.

Secondly, the whole construction is excellent with durable polypropylene plastic and a powder-coated steel frame, meaning it should stand up to the British weather like a champ. With the quality handles and pneumatic tyres with an all-terrain lug too, you're onto a winner. The best part, though? It's competitively priced! 

We've coined this one a beast of a garden cart due to its monstrous weight limit – it can take up to 600 kg! It's capable of this because of the sturdy steel frame that is, quite frankly, a workhorse. Add to that the relative ease of use (depending on load size) and its decent dimensions, and you have a great garden companion.

The design is finished off in classic black and orange VonHaus colourway, so your neighbours will know what's up when they see you making light work of any waste. It's on the heavy side, but owing to how much it can carry, we'll let it off. 

The Walsall Wheelbarrow Company have been in the industry for over 60 years, so you should be confident when buying one of their products. One such excellent option is the Galvanized Builders Barrow Wheelbarrow in a Box, which is unique in two ways – its construction and its quality. 

As the name suggests, this arrives in a box and is almost like the flatpack furniture version of a wheelbarrow as it is simply constructed with minimal fuss. There are still plenty of topline features throughout despite this, though, such as a decent weight limit and the favourable pneumatic wheels. 

Here, we've got a slight change from the traditional wheelbarrow in this stable two-wheel option. This 78 L product is perfect for transporting bits and bobs whether you're doing gardening or DIY jobs around the home. Plus, the covered, soft-grip handles make it much more pleasant to push around.

Furthermore, the design is relatively lightweight while still offering generous dimensions for fitting large objects. Also, like a garden cart, it has a relatively high weight limit; however, this could be down to the extra wheel. 

While this might resemble a nana-style shopping trolley you'd find people wheeling around the market, it does have a lot going for it as a garden cart as well. The manufacturer ensured there are some nifty features, such as a spring bounce in the handle, which means it never falls to the ground and is, therefore, much easier to access.

Not only that, but for a cart, it's relatively lightweight too. That said, there is a compromise because the weight limit is much lower than other similar designs, and the wheels are plastic. But if you're looking for a cart rather than a barrow and you don't transport too much, this could be a great compromise. 

The Walsall Multipurpose Wheelbarrow does what it says on the tin and is great for a range of different tasks, from mucking out stables to removing large branches. The reason it's so helpful is the large compartment size, although don't mistake that for the weight limit. 

Furthermore, the wheelbarrow is relatively low in weight yet robust and comes with a tipping nose that makes offloading much easier. Unfortunately, some users have found that the tyre isn't the best and can drag. Still, for the price, it's hard to complain. 

There's a good few reasons why this cart from Umi. made it to our ranking. For instance, it has a neat foldable design that makes storing it away much more convenient. Add to that the decent weight limit and pneumatic tyres, and you're getting yourself a pretty great garden cart. 

However, again the weight of the cart is rather heavy, meaning it's better suited to those who are a bit stronger already, even though you don't have to lift the weight. Also, some of the hardware isn't the best quality, so you might be inclined to monitor or upgrade this when possible. 

The Arboria garden wheelbarrow has some excellent ergonomic grippy handles that ensure your hands and arms take longer to fatigue throughout the day, meaning you'll be able to get more work completed in less time. Plus, the lip design at the end makes the wheelbarrow easier to stand up when storing. 

The design has an 80 kg weight limit, which should be more than enough for simple home use, but might be a little short for big projects or longer distances. On the plus side, it does have pneumatic wheels to help stabilise it.

First up, we have this garden cart from Draper. The design has a unique tipping feature which makes unloading the contents inside that bit easier as you can lift the main compartment and dump it on the ground. The handle is quite long too, which makes transporting it ever more comfortable. 

However, there are some negatives. Firstly, it's rather heavy considering the material it's made from is plastic, and all this will begin to add up when you're manoeuvring things all day. Secondly, several users have reported its assembly to be a long and arduous process, so be prepared for that.
