Best (long lasting) yard broom

[GreyDot]

Having gone through yard brooms at a rate of one a year and earlier this year spending what seemed like 'too much' on a very good quality broom, I am now heading into winter with a broom which has worn away it's bristles and is ready for the Broom Farm to run free with all the others I have retired over the years.
So what do you recommend for a reliable, hardy, good brushing broom?

The best I've ever come across are from Lidl.
When they have garden stuff they have a red broad brush for about 5.99.
I always buy at least one so I have in reserve. They last years.

Blimey! I clearly need to up my sweeping game! I've had my mole Avon broom for years!

I have this one. It’s been used daily for a couple of years now.

Gorilla broom - haven’t managed to kill one yet!

I hate Gorilla brooms! They do admittedly last forever but just don’t sweep well. The bristles are too plastic

We have this one in work coming up 2yrs.

I have a similar style but not as wide a head on it from either B&M or Home Bargains it's black and yellow again about 2yrs old

Mine rusted through where the handle attaches to the head. Mid sweep there was nothing on the end of the handle.
And the heads keep unscrewing.

See, I really like my Gorilla broom. Used daily for mucking out, scrubbing with Disinfectant and yard sweeping! It's 5 years old and going strong

I have a huge block paving area infront of my stables where my round bales are on pallets so it can get messy, I use a leaf blower on that as it is not easy to sweep so I end up doing the yard area and our whole garden and patio area gets done with it as well and I can honestly say they are really good if you have alot of areas to sweep.

I have the Gorilla ones they are heavy and the bristles are all bent now, and one huge bristle one livery has an amazing broom, long bristles and MEGA lightweight I love it and will get one.

After going through 2 heads of a cheap B&Q broom in 5 years I snapped the handle - which meant I could finally get my first flicky broom and I am in heaven. It's very like @ILuvCowparsely's Borstiq but just from our local farm shop. And I tested all of them to get the flickiest when sweeping away - sounds daft but I was told it made a difference which way they were attached.

If anyone wants a Gorilla broom, I have one at home. I hate it.

Bentley Bulldozers are absolutely fantastic. I've got three around the house and stables. I jad to protect them from the builders as they'd never used such good brushes. The other great one that a friend had on the livery yard, was a Wolf-Garten one. Her dad was a professional gardener and that's the only brand he would ever use.
