Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart

I always find yard work to be very difficult, especially if it is nearing winter. On top of that, it can also be irritating to move stuff around in the yard like leaves, tools, etc. It used to be an easy task for me when I had my wagon, but apparently the wheel broke and I never got around fixing the damned thing. A couple of months ago, I made a startling discovery in one of our home improvement stores. It was something that I was waiting for; a collapsible wagon called Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770.

You may be thinking how can a collapsible wagon like the Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770 be of help when it comes to yard work or hauling around heavy stuff, when it is probably made from something weaker than steel or metal. First, the Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770 has a weight capacity of 150lbs. and measures 19 ½ inches deep. The collapsible wagon is made from heavy duty nylon wrapped in steel frame, so you can be sure that it can withstand the load of materials that you put in it. It is even ideal for carrying in firewood.

The Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770 measures at 36” high and 25” wide, with a length of 27”, and it weighs at 27lbs. What makes this collapsible wagon great is that this is the perfect space-saver, unlike your traditional metal wagons which takes up some space in the garage or tool shed. When I first saw this at the store a couple of months ago, I was hesitant because it was the most peculiar wagon I have ever seen, and I was doubtful of its durability because it looked flimsy.

Fast forward to today, it is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. Yard work has never been easier, and everything became more convenient. I even managed to carry a lot of firewood in it without having to worry about the wagon tearing from the wood. At one time, I even used it to carry stuff across the snow-laden yard and it was a breeze. The pneumatic wheels, which measures at 11 ½ inches, have sure-grip tracks, so you do not need to worry about the wagon slipping away on smooth surfaces. The Vertex Folding Yard and Utility Cart GB770 is the best collapsible wagon in the market today, and if you do not have it around your home, you are missing out on a lot.

Folding Wagon | Review

Green Folding Wago, 200 lb Capacity

As a sixty–year old retiree, I have a lot of time in my hands to do things I never did when I was younger. When I first bought my house, I was already envisioning myself to be doing some gardening in my backyard. Having grown up in a farm, I have always relished the idea of growing my own vegetables. I always wished I had tomatoes aplenty in my backyard, but somehow, none of that ever happened. Perhaps the fact that my job always kept me at the office for long periods of time had something to do with it. Now that I am retired, I finally have the time to do what I have always wanted to do, and that is to create my own vegetable garden with my bare hands.

Well, not really my bare hands, but with certain pieces of equipment. The idea was going well when I realized I was missing something. I realized that I am too old to be hauling off heavy gardening tools and bags of fertilizer. There is no way I can carry all those things to and from the garden without slipping a disc or something. I needed something to help me with the hauling work that needs to be done. Thankfully, my ever perceptive daughter bought me something very useful for Christmas: A Green Folding Wagon that has a 200 lb Capacity.

Of all the Christmas gifts I have ever received in my life, this wagon absolutely takes the cake. Obviously, the wagon can be used for hauling all kinds of stuff from my shed to my garden. For something that may appear to be rather flimsy, it is a tough one in reality. It is capable of hauling loads of up to two hundred pounds. This wagon also boasts of a durable steel construction, and swivel front wheels that make it so much easier to push or pull along. The handle itself is quite sturdy. I also find the removable fabric insert very useful, as it has side pockets that you can put smaller tools or utensils in without any problem.

What impresses me most about this product, however, is the fact that it is basically a collapsible wagon. Since it folds so easily, it saves a lot of space in my shed. Aside from easy storage, the wagon can also be brought anywhere you go, because it can easily fit into my car when folded.

I have been using this wagon for three months now. If what people say about its durability is true, then I’ll be using it for a long, long time.

Fold-It Utility Cart

Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart

I maintain a garden in my backyard. Not the floral type, mind you, but the more edible kind. While my wife tends to her rose garden in our front yard, I grow vegetables in our backyard. It’s safe to say that with my small vegetable garden, we never had to buy tomatoes, eggplants and okra in the supermarket ever again.

However, for all the convenience of having your own vegetable garden in your backyard, it takes a lot of hard work to get one going. For one thing, you have to a lot of digging. Cultivating the soil is extremely important for any vegetable to grow and become useful. Gardening also makes use of several tools, some of which are too heavy or bulky to carry all at the same time. For someone who is more than half a century old, carrying heavy tools around no longer comes that easily for me. That is why when I saw an online ad for a Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart, I wasted no time in cranking up my credit card and buying it online.

From what I can gather, the Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart was initially designed haul gear in a marine environment, but the fact that it was recommended for gardening purposes underscores its usefulness as a multi-purpose cart. With a capacity of 350 pounds, you can carry tools, supplies or materials from your shed to your garden and back with relative ease. It is also very durable. The cart I have has been with me for some time now, and yet it never once failed me, considering the abuse that I put it through. Aside for use in my garden, my Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart has also seen action outside the house. It can be easily pulled by my bike, and I always bring it with me when I’m buying supplies from the local agricultural shop.

The best part about this cart, however, is the fact that it is collapsible. Yes, I fold up the wagon when I’m not using it. My shed is not that big, but it fits snugly in there as it only occupies less than two square feet of space when folded. When I go out of town where there is more hauling to be done, my cart accompanies on my trip, because it easily fits in my truck.

The Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart is hands-down the most versatile tool that I have acquired in recent years, and that is saying a lot.

Learning About the Importance of Wagons

The original wagon is described as a four-wheel drive that is pulled by animals. Their main function was to carry and transport people and some consumer goods and agricultural goods. Today, the wagon has evolved into different kinds. Although its function has remained basically the same, most of today’s wagons are used for transporting different items, like tools used for gardening, and for hauling your camping stuff from your car to the campsite, among others.

The wagon that we use for hauling our stuff is called the collapsible wagon. It comes in different models, designs, sizes, colors and loading capacities. Some collapsible wagons can carry as much as 1000 pounds of weight, while others are reserved for smaller stuff.

One of the greatest features of the collapsible wagon is its ability to neatly fold into smaller pieces. This makes it easy to carry. You can bring and use it anywhere. If you need to travel, you can bring it with you and later on use it to load and unload your traveling stuff. Additionally, since it folds up easily, storing it when not in use will never be a problem.

A fun way of using the collapsible wagon is in the grocery store or supermarket. Instead of using the usual grocery cart or basket, you can use your own wagon. This will make it easy for you to later on transport and haul your grocery stuff into the car.

Yet another use of the collapsible wagon is during outdoor trips or picnics. Instead of loading your picnic stuff into different baskets, you can put them all together in one wagon. There are some collapsible wagons that come with multiple layers, so it will be easy for you to load all your picnic stuff into one.

If you want to take your children to the beach but dread the thought of carrying loads of beach stuff like sunscreen, sand toys, towels, floaters, snack food and other similar items, the collapsible wagon is the answer to your problems. All that you need to do is fold your wagon and put it inside your family car and then unfold it once you reach the beach. Unload all the beach stuff and place them inside your wagon. With this, you won’t have a difficult time looking for a nice spot for your children to play on while you sunbathe.

No matter how you use collapsible wagons, the fact is that you get an extra hand and a lot of help. Yes, the traditional wagon has certainly come a long way!
