Thre are so many gr8t examples of DIY trolleys which are posted here so I thought that having pics of them in one thread would be a really useful source for us DIY virgins who are about to  'Do it ourselves'.

A list of products used and any modifications would be a gr8t addition.

Maybe Tosh or Ian would put it as a sticky topic, keeping it at the top for Newbies or Oldies to see and use.

(Tosh typing here:

No problem, Sarah - a sticky it is - and a good idea too.

This thread shows you don't have to spend thousands of pounds on an off-the-shelf WFP set-up; yet still have an extremely professional looking system. 

As long as the brush-head works, you have a pole that won't cause you any RSI problems and your water is pure, you won't go too far wrong.)

PS.  Sarah, 'gr8t' is actually spelt 'great'.  Have you down-graded your computer to a Nokia keyboard?

Hi Sarah,

That a good thought!

I thought Gaz,s trolley posted only yesterday was a great example of what can be achieved. Not all of us are mechanically minded so will not attempt to build a trolley without seeing these great examples as you say.

gazz,where did you get the water container from.notice that you are using the thingy jig, that helps the flow of the water ease out the container, you must have added a tube inside to pump the water.I notice those things lol,

I got the containers locally, the one on the trolley is 30 litres but you can get them from www.outdoormegastore.co.uk ,they have a  large filler cap and a small outlet with a screw cap on perfect for plastc plumbing pipe so all i do is pull out the pipe pop on another container and unscrew the small cap on push in the pipe,Gaz

If you look at this picture you can see 2 black things sticking up you pull them together they are spring loaded and when you pull the handle up it locks in to  position to different height,Gaz
