I'm thinking (and have been for last 10 years) building a small garden cart for my wife.
Some thing like this, about the same size 38" x 20" Anyone got one - or any idea what size angle iron is used.  DaveH

I lost it somehow so can't give you any measurement. I remember it wasn't cheap when I bought it and that was about 10 years ago. I would think 1/8" angle iron would be adequate but I'll let the mechanical engineers chime in since it's not my area of expertise. Ed

They are not cheap here either - in fact they are damn expensive. I have been saying I would make her one, time I did. Just a flat bed one, if some sides are needed I'll buy a plastic box to go on the bed.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Still not sure what size angle iron to use, definitely an 1/8" (3mm in my case) thick and either 1" or 1.25" (25 or 30mm) I would like to keep it as light as possible.
Tomorrow I going to look for some wheels 10" pneumatic. puncture proof if they are not too expensive. DaveH

Puncture proof would be a nice touch, the pneumatic ones have a habit of leaking , a small leak with the small volume and they're always flat.
1 1/2 wouldn't add much weight but would be considerably stiffer, guaranty if you have it it will end up with a large load on it at some point.
