Proper Garden Broom

[wazza]

I have tried all the major retailers in Udon, looking for a proper garden broom. Strong bristles etc

Sick of using the cheap and nasty bamboo/ cane units,

Anyone seen one on their trips around.

Wassa, I've been looking for what we Pommies call Yard Brushes since I've been here,(9years), and have yet to find any, the nearest I've seen, is the one the misses flys around on :-" :-" :-" :-" .

I would be interested if your find a source

[arjay]

I have seen them about, but separate from the handles, i.e. sold separately.

I've seen them in hardware shops, but not sure if Home Pro has them.

[wazza]

Thats them Ralph

Closest i got was a small internal broom, that wont last 1 hour outside.

Home Pro, Global, Home Mart, Tool Pro, Tesco, Big C, all negative.

I don't think the Thai's would know how to use one. From my observations they always sweep from the back hand, even in doors. The concept of pushing . with a forward motion would be entirely foreign to them.

Is the type you're looking for, in the US we call'em "push brooms":



Anyway, they got them at Global, I saw them over the weekend. Grey in color and look sturdy, about 300 something bt.
I saw them up near the front, behind the check out, near some fans on display.

i think theres a few women out there , who might dispute that claim......

Thats them for sure, went to Global 2 weeks ago and couldnt see any.

Now the LHD ( Long Haired Dictionary ) has seen the pict, she knows how to ask for them.

Here' hoping !

Spent more time than I care to remember behind one of those as a lowly peon while employed as a member of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

Good find, Papaguido.

The broom is located toward the front of Global.....along with a slew of professional cleaning supplies....heavy duty mops, buckets, etc.

Now that they have been sourced, all I have to do is teach the Other Half how they work

Wonder why they are described as 'Garden Brooms'....lets face it you can-not sweep the Garden with one, ideal for hard surfaces, like concrete,Tarmac,Wood floor etc...but would be hard to push around the garden IE: grass lawn, flower beds etc.. a Garden Rake will do the trick much better on grass and soil beds.

I shall have to get fitted for spectacles, I thought the heading was a "proper Gordon Brown".

We'll just call it an out door broom then shall we

MR Vark

A multi surface pushing forward outdoor broom, so as not to be confused with the backhanded outdoor bamboo broom,

[steveway2]

Do these brooms come with instructions?
