I move a lot of wood chips in my wheelbarrow, and I was looking for a way to extend the edges, and this is exactly what I needed. I had some trouble at first with it sliding off or down, perhaps my wheelbarrow is not the ideal size for this, BUT I found a great solution. I put carpet tape (wide very sticky double-sided tape) around the wheelbarrow rim, just over the lip and the rest on the outside. I put the booster on, and now it stays put even when dumping a super-full load (just be sure to turn the wheelbarrow completely upside down and pull the booster and wheelbarrow rim together straight up). I figured this hack would only last a few loads, but I've done many and it is still holding.

They need to add a steel wire or strip along the rim so it has rigidity and structure.Quickly falls down and becomes more of a pain to work with than a help.When it works it works great and really does double the volume for mulch.Bought this to move 20cu yd of mulch and ended up just taking it off the end because it wasn't worth the hassle.Would buy again if improved. Think I'll modify mine with a steel strip and maybe some tent stakes so it stays up.

This gadget fits my Jackson M6 (6 cu. ft.) wheelbarrow perfectly and boosts the capacity to about 2.5x. It works great to transport leaves, which is the reason I wanted to try it. The only thing that would make it better is some kind of clip to keep it from popping off the wheelbarrow when you quickly dump it. But if you're careful, it stays on just fine. Just what I was looking for!

This a perfect and easy to store way to vastly enlarge the capacity of your existing wheelbarrow for carrying occasional large loads of grass trimmings or leaves. I spent wasted time trying to dream up something up when this was already out there. Love it!!!

I'm soooo disappointed! I bought this for my husband for his August birthday. It was to help him with our fall leaves. Today, he was excited to try it out, so he put it on our wheelbarrow, which is 118" in circumference, and it split at the seam!! I can't return it, since it only had a 30-day window. I guess my advice for anyone who purchases this is to put it on your wheelbarrow right away, even if you don't have a reason to use it yet.

This is a great idea that needs a clip-type system to hold the elastic band onto the rim of the wheelbarrow. I thought that it would stay on around the rim, but eventually, after using it and moving around on the lawn, it slides down under the rim. However, it definitely increases the volume of the storage capacity of the wheelbarrow for carrying light loads like small brush, leaves, etc., so it's very helpful to my lawn needs. My wife and I visited a hardware store to find a clip-type system for this issue. The clips, that we ended up purchasing at a local hardware store, were 1/2" CTS w/nails, but you can remove the nails and just use the clips which fit snug over the wheelbarrow rim. A package of 10+/- each cost about $2.60. Well worth it to snug the fabric to the wheelbarrow. Now I can use it and the booster fabric does not slide under the rim.

I bought this for mucking horse stalls. It fit great on the wheelbarrow and allowed me to fit way more manure than usual. But I've never attempted to push something so heavy on three wheels... I mean it was really heavy! I'm a very strong lady tho and thought I could handle it. So after spending forever loading it up with horse poop, I lifted it up to start wheeling it away and it immediately toppled over. Very disappointing as this is the only reason I purchased it and had such high hopes. I would imagine it works ok when filled with leaves, etc. I use a big wagon for yard work tho. Unfortunately there's no returns for this item

Absolutely fabulous. Allows me to get that last fork of stall cleanings into the barrow that never quite fit before and turn two trips into one.
