EZ Leaf Hauler Press
October 2008
"A giant dustpan for leaves" -- that's how the manufacturer describes the EZ Leaf Hauler. The tarp uses tent construction to form sides and a back, with stakes that keep the hauler in place on windy days. Stitched handles make it easy to tote and dump leaves. The EZ Leaf Hauler is available in large ($29.99), with 35square feet of hauling surface, and small ($25.99), covering 24 square feet.
Here's something that would've been nice to have around after the wind storm last month. The 7-by-5-foot EZ Leaf Hauler is a folding polyester tarp attached to fiberglass rods, and comes with two stakes. With 12-by-24-inch supportive sides, the tarp has 35 square feet of space and four handles to drag yard debris to the compost pile or curb. According to the manufacturer, the capacity of the Hauler is five times that of a typical wheelbarrow.
