Strange question I know.

Id like a buy a Wheel Barrow for a gardeners birthday.

Are there recognised makes as being the Ferrari of the Wheel Barrow
world?

Wouldn't think so, but I'd get a heavy duty builders barrow. Then it won't
fall to bits on the odd occasion when it's used for moving concrete.
Unless
they're good at mending punctures, one with a sold tyre.

I've had a builders barrow for sometime and, unless they're driven over
broken glass or barbed wire regularly, I'd go for a pneumatic as they run a
little more softly and are therefore "a nicer drive". FWIW, I've never
(touches wood rapidly) had a puncture and spare wheels are easy to come by
anyway.

Perhaps someone else can buy a bicycle repair kit (just in case) and a
footpump as a secondary present. Mine likes a little extra air every couple
of months.
