Wheelbarrow
Outdoor · Easy
The yard hauler. Flat tires, cracked trays, and worn handles are the service items — every part is replaceable, so repair usually beats replacing.

$40–$200
Typical lifespan
10 yrs
Maintenance
every 3 months
Tools you may need
- Wrench set
- Screwdriver

Steps
- Assemble handles and legs square to the tray.
- Mount the wheel and torque the axle nut with a washer set.
- Grease the axle yearly; check tire pressure before heavy seasons.
- Replace the tray when cracks spread past repair patches.
Maintenance
Rinse soil off after heavy use; check tire/tube monthly in season. (Suggested interval: every 3 months.)
