Know before you buy
While cedar is naturally resistant to decay, the caddy features a stainless steel base to prevent direct contact with wet soil or standing water. We recommend storing it in a shed or garage when not in use to maintain the wood's finish and longevity.
The handle is securely integrated for carrying standard hand tools, gloves, and seed packets. It is designed for typical gardening loads, though it is not intended for heavy-duty hauling of wet soil or large power tools.
The open-top design is optimized for quick access to your most-used tools while you move around the garden. Since there are no internal pockets, it works best for larger hand tools, trowels, and gloves rather than tiny hardware or loose seeds.
The caddy is crafted from natural, rough-sawn cedar. It is left in its raw state to highlight the wood's natural beauty and durability, making it safe for use around plants and soil.
Yes, the 16-inch length provides ample space for standard hand trowels, cultivators, and pruning shears. The 7.5-inch width is sufficient to hold these tools comfortably alongside a pair of gardening gloves.
