The Liberty Garden 250-foot capacity cart is constructed with 13-gauge steel tubing, providing a robust frame for managing long garden hoses. While the brown bronze powder coating offers a decorative finish, tests indicate that moisture can still affect the metal at welded joints over time. This unit is designed for residential use and features 10-inch pneumatic tires which provide good mobility across flat lawns and garden paths.
Specifications show a 1.5mm wall thickness for the frame, supporting the weight of a standard vinyl hose. However, when using heavier rubber hoses, the center of gravity may shift, requiring a steady hand during deployment to prevent the unit from tipping forward. The integrated basket is a helpful addition for keeping spray nozzles and gardening gloves within reach while working outdoors.
To maintain smooth operation, the solid brass swivel joints benefit from regular lubrication. Because the 10-inch tires are air-filled, they require periodic pressure checks to ensure they remain easy to roll. The handle is set at a fixed height, which is comfortable for most users but may feel low for those who are significantly taller.
- The four-wheel wheelbase helps stabilize the unit during transport across the yard.
- Storage for small tools is provided by the attached wire basket.
- A 5-foot leader hose is included to connect the reel to a standard water source.
If your storage needs involve a smaller footprint and wall-mounted stability, the Liberty Garden 704 Decorative Wall Mount offers a fixed alternative that saves floor space.
