I used to do this before I discovered the tonne bag... now I never use a barrow - unless Ive landed myself with shifting gravel or top soil
Thanks Adam , It obviously works then ?
Wheelbarrow is basically going back home along with other gear which was stored on a customers premises who is now moving so its a one off trip but i need to do it in one go preferably .
Well mine fitted on the roof bars....so I didn't have a ladder underneath
Why not move the roof bars?
I remember carrying some sheets of plasterboard on the roofbars................ not a good idea. The wind got under them, snapped them in half and left a load on the road! We live and learn.
I had a sheet of 1/4” plywood on a full length rack and tied it down like a Union Jack, end to end, side to side and corner to corner.
It broke up and came out in pieces, which was very frightening viewed in the door mirrors.
I am ultra cautious about what goes on top of the van now.
Yes it would work, just ensure both the ladder and wheelbarrow are tied down properly and the wind will now force them off.
lol ! Its looking like a seperate trip to retrieve the wheelbarrow safely .
Only a short distance but down hill in fast flowing traffic probably not a sensible idea .
If it's a metal barrow, a bit of sturdy ply underneath and then a couple of ratchet straps and you'll be fine
