My mate has his own engineering co.

Few years back he spent the winter building his own for V festival's. Then threw it onto the back

of his pick-upcome festival time.

Brilliant design and construction job , a true labour of love !

British engineering at its best !

:P

I take it you dont do the weekly supermarket shop much

....... firstly as there £1 until you bring it back and secondly, you try finding one without the rubbish wheels with a mind of there own :)

but if you were looking to ' borrowing ' :P one from a store,

then why not instead try a luggage trolley (one with the flags sticking up ) from Waterloo station or somewhere similar,

or even the square big old trolleys they use when there stacking the shelves at tescos

nah, too prone to tipping over.

what you need is a B&Q sack truck. loads of people on here have them because they're sturdy, have pneumatic tyres, and are pretty cheap.

Thanks mouth, I just re-read that, again and again it recommends the B&Q job...

Yeah, I put some shelves on there, only as a quick fix the day before the fest last year.

A large piece of plywood on the bottom, held in place with two cable ties at the back. This provides a large shelf that I put all my beer, cider, wine, water etc. on. Then I built a second shelf that stood off from the bottom as the base for all my holdalls that I stack on. The second shelf is to take the load of my gear, don't want all that weight on the beer!

It doesn't look terribly attractive, as it's purely functional.

Not sure I took any photos though, but I will check!

BTW I got the thick plywood from B&Q offcuts bin for like 20p! :P
