Cart for Water Container: Garden Irrigation Solution

Garden water carrier

Every gardener knows how difficult it is to bring water for watering beds or trees during dry periods. Many use large tanks or bidons with a capacity of 35—40 liters, mounting them on carts. But lifting and removing such a bidon is far beyond everyone’s strength.

Cart for bidon
Cart for bidon:
A — transport position; B — filling bidon at column; C — water drainage

The design of a cart I made significantly facilitates these operations. Its folding frame consists of two parts—upper and lower. The bidon is in a suspended state and is moved from the cart to the ground and vice versa using a lever installed on the upper frame. To ensure stability at this moment, special supports are fixed on the lower frame. In winter, skis can be attached to these supports.
