Lawn sprinkler wagon

With all the drought we have had in our area of Texas I had to start watering our small horse pasture. In order to get the pasture watered I set a six foot lenth of pvc pipe in a bucket half full of concrete and mounted a sprinker head on top. It worked great but was a real hassle to move it from place to place around the pasture. So decided to build a small wagon for it to sit on. It really works great. Wheels came from HF and frame was made of 1/8 sq tubing. Cross pieces are made from two old lawn mower blades. Front wheel is steerable and I have a handle I take out and hook on to it to tow it from place to place. Front wheel is attached with 5/8 rod that I bent using a HF bender. I love my HH187.
