Wooden Peddler Cart Plans & Hardware

Make a statement with a timeless, old-world wooden peddler cart — perfect for garden flowers, store displays, vendor booths, or cozy cottage décor. This kit includes everything you need to build a sturdy cart with authentic metal wheels in just a weekend:

Note: While this cart can be rolled in and out of a storefront for sidewalk display, the mostly ornamental wheels and axles are not designed to withstand hauling supplies over long distances. It is intended to be more of a stationary display cart.

• Complete step-by-step plans + materials list — cut list and assembly instructions make the build easy, even for beginners.

• Authentic metal wheels & axle hardware — you get two 24″ metal wheels (8-spoke standard), axle stubs, and a simple bolt-on channel that secures to the wooden frame, giving you an authentic vintage wagon look.

• Option to upgrade to striking 16-spoke wheels — double the visual impact for a more rustic, eye-catching display.

• Durable and versatile design — cart measures 57″ long × 30.5″ wide × 35″ high (to top of handles). Use exterior-grade wood or recycled poly lumber for long-lasting outdoor use, or interior wood for a rustic piece of furniture.

• Multiple uses — ideal for:

  • Flower and plant display (garden, greenhouse, porch)

  • Vendor displays for markets, craft fairs, or shop merchandise

  • Rustic storage or décor — repurpose as a magazine cart, side table, or country-style end table for your home, cabin, or cottage.

With just basic woodworking tools and a few hours, you can build a functional, durable, and charming peddler cart. The included hardware is built in a one-man shop to vintage specifications — wheels ship raw to finish naturally (paint or allow to rust for an antique patina). Please allow 4–6 weeks for shipping.

Why choose our kit over other “peddler cart plans” or “DIY vendor cart kits”? Unlike many plan-only sellers, our kit includes real metal wheels and hardware — not just a PDF. That means when you buy from us, you get everything you need in one shipment, saving you time sourcing hard-to-find wagon wheels, and ensuring everything fits right out of the box.
