These old-time wooden wheelbarrows will add a touch of nostalgic charm to your yard, garden, or use them in retail businesses. Add the plant liner and make them a flower box or display fresh cut flowers in your flower shop.
These are working replicas of the wheelbarrows used in the 1800s and early 1900s before items were fabricated from sheet metal. They are so authentic, they have been used in movies and in historical parks. Pictures at the bottom show a vintage wheelbarrow to compare.

The unfinished large wheelbarrow (Pictured) is considered the "Rough Grade". It comes with kiln-dried planed poplar wood just as you would purchase at the lumber yard. With some additional sanding, you could obtain a furniture-grade finish. The wooden side hubs on the wooden wheels are turned separately from the wheel, when assembled they look like one-piece hubs.
The Wheelbarrow can be just stained, just varnished, stained and varnished, or painted.
Varnish or painted options include either two coats of 3300 high-grade two-part urethane varnish or a coat of primer and a coat of paint. Select options and stain and paint colors using the drop-down boxes.

The plant liner is made of heavy gauge galvanized metal. The liner fits over the sides of the wheelbarrow. It is designed to allow plant pots to sit up to fully display your plants. This design provides drainage between the contact surfaces. This allows the wood to dry below the liner to help prevent wood rot.
