Where to buy muck out tools?

[bex1984]

I need a wheelbarrow, fork (for straw), shovel and a broom.

I am totally skint.

Anyone know where I can get them cheap?! (and ideally....PINK!)

Any suggestions?

YOU ARE NOT TO GET PINK! NOOOO

For cheap stuff just do not go to a horsey place.

Best go to a local market or perhaps a DIY store, like Focus or something. They should have all that.

Wilkinsons might have cheap shovel, broom, and sometimes have wheelbarrows. Otherwise DIY or gardening type places.

Purple?

LOL! Of course it's your choice! Actually it looks to me that purple would match all his kit!

I'd love to hear from you, PM me if you get a pink or a purple wheel barrow on a budget!

will do...I have a pink poo scoop thingy

that was from tesco!

*whispers* Argos have a flat pack wheelbarrow for £20.
I don't think you're going to find one much cheaper than that which won't fall apart after 5 minutes use

B&Q wheelbarrows seem to be standard issue on our yard.

I got my wheelbarrow and broom FREE from Freecycle: join up and place a Wanted ad. (You might have to offer something first, it depends on the moderator in your area).

If you're getting a few things you could try Equestrian Clearance. Their P&P is a lot but not so bad if you are ordering several items:

You could try using a big tubtrug bucket for mucking out... That's what I use as the muckheap isn't too far away, but it depends how far you've got to go.

Make sure you get a sharp pronged fork - not the digging type. Good luck with your shopping!

ETS: what happened to the tools you had before? You had a barrow etc, didn't you?

Just found these

available in pink or purple!

I sold the barrow when I moved over the road!! And the fork was rubbish...no idea where the spade and broom have gone!!
My shavings fork is still with you I think?! But I don't need that anyway! Think the muckheap is miles away, so need a barrow really (and a decent size one so I don't have to make too many trips)

 

[jumpthemoon]

You could try SLB - they have some reasonably priced tools. Shame you sold the barrow, really - how much did you get for it?

 

[bex1984]

Only a tenner....didn't see myself moving for a while so didn't think I'd need it

Will maybe try SLB, although don't know if I'll have time to get over there.
