Well that's reassuring.

Are you sure that doesn't refer to castor type wheels as found on supermarket shopping trolleys which can be a PITA when used on rough ground.

If you get the type with sack truck size wheels, then it would be ok on rough ground so long as it is not so sloped that the angle makes the logs fall off!

I have a folding "festival/camping" style cart - the wheels on that are a bit smaller (say 50 or 6" diameter and about 3.5" wide), and even that is fine across the garden etc and seems happy enough to bump up and down kerbs.

Good point. Most of the models I've been looking at have 10 inch wheels, so maybe a little larger than my sack truck (8 inch?).

I looked at the folding carts - since that type would be easier to store in an (already overflowing) shed - but I'm not at all sure they could stand up to repeated loads of split firewood dragged over rough ground.

Yup, I expect the ones designed as a garden kart would fair better long term.

Have you considered rebuilding your wood stores closer to the back door? ;-)

Well, it may not have been my greatest bit of planning, but the old shed predates (not predates, obviously) the wood stove by around three decades, so I will have to live with it.
