Best Wheelbarrow for a Cabin
Every cottage owner needs a reliable wheelbarrow to get work done around the cabin property.
Wheelbarrow options for a cottage
Cabin owners can find wheelbarrows in a variety of sizes and at a broad range of prices. The best wheelbarrow to buy depends on the nature of the work you plan to do, the landscape of the cottage property, and your budget.
Single Wheel Wheelbarrow
A standard single-wheel wheelbarrow is the cheapest option and is probably fine for a cottage with a small, flat yard that doesn’t have a lot of exposed roots or rocks and the main use will be for moving lightweight objects. It is difficult to balance a wheelbarrow with a single wheel if you are moving a heavy load or are trying to get across uneven terrain.
A handy folding wheelbarrow is easy to store in the off season or transport back to the city.
Double Wheel Wheelbarrow
The ideal wheelbarrow for most cottage properties is one that is heavy-duty with two wheels. This provides better support for heavy and awkward loads and is much easier to navigate across yards, forest paths, and slopes.
In situations where you plan to move logs for firewood, stones, gravel or even small boat motors this is a good type of wheelbarrow to buy and it comes at a reasonable price.
Heavy Duty Wagon
A yard wagons is a handy alternative to a wheelbarrow for some cottage situations. The four wheels provide great stability and the unit can be used for other work, including the transport of groceries from the car or boat to the cabin.

If you have a larger budget and need something that provides its own power to navigate around a difficult cottage property it makes sense to buy a small ATV with a utility trailer for getting yard work done at the cabin.
