My school garden class had a rusty wheelbarrow out in the backyard that needed to either be thrown away or be repaired.
The rust was so bad that stuff would fall through. It was both inconvenient and dangerous to use.
We came up with an idea to fix it without having to go out to the store and purchase a new one.
In this Instructable I will show you how you can repair a rusty wheelbarrow.
Hope you enjoy it!

Step 1: Materials Needed

Here's the tools you need to have
Safety Glasses/Gloves
Pop Rivets
Pop Rivet Tool
Tin Snips
Pliers
Electric drill
3/16 drill bit
Aluminium Sheet Metal (aluminum flashing from a hardware store will work)
Marker

All these items are easy to find at any hardware store.

Step 2: Make a Pattern

First ,You find old cardboard and cut the right pattern for your wheelbarrow.
You cut the right pieces to make your pattern fit. Make sure you make the pieces much bigger than the rust holes so that you can attach it to metal that is still solid. The area near the hole will be to badly rusted for the rivets to hold.
You will use the cardboard cut out later to trace it on to the sheet metal.

Step 3:

Trace the pattern that you cut out onto the sheet metal.
Once you trace it use the shears or tin snips to cut it out.

Step 4: Rivet Sheet Metal With Pop Rivets

Place sheet metal where damage is done. Using a electric drill you drill holes through wheelbarrow and sheet metal using 3/16 drill bit.
Now attach the sheet metal with the 3/16 pop rivet. You can use the back up washers on the back side of the rivet to make sure the rivet does not pull through.
