Title: Wheelbarrows
Post by: Piglet on January 24, 2004, 17:58:53

Not sure if been mentioned before but for all you new lottie holders top tip:-

If you go down to your local council tip they often have old wheelbarrows from Builders for approx £5 which you could leave on your site with no worries of getting pinched.

Thats where i got mine. :D

if anyone has a brand new one though, esp like the B&Q sort, the center pin for the front wheel can be uscrewed easily, rendering it useless to any theives that didn`t bring a spare pin with them :)

What a good idea! Thanks for that YT2095 or even a big stake driven into the ground and a bicycle chain latched on to it.
