Welcome to A4A richardbmw!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - avoid those folding wheelbarrows, useless. But rose arches at £5.99 - thats not bad  ;D

Thanks for that tip about the W/B.  I was thinking of getting one.  Canyou tell why they are no good?  Do they fold up in use?

I just found they were so unstable - because of the folding I suppose. If I loaded anything in I couldn't move it anywhere without it all tipping over or collapsing ::)

The rose arch looks the same as the one I got from wikos (£2.50 in last half price sale).

I have put it up on my allotment, but it is so flimsy it will not support anything by it's self, I am having to add more posts to support the arch.

I use a folding wheelbarrow (lidl's last year), not heavy duty no, but it suits me for moving soil around and grass cuttings.

went to LIDLs in nottm today 3 sad looking trees left, Hydrangeas looked good. I left without the trees i had gone for, but happy with my 10 packets of seeds. will go back as when other offers in, have put one of those arches up before but it corroded very quickly.

The arches are ok if you put wooden supports at the four corners. That way they will last for years
