There's plenty of the PVC plans around...just need to replace the pvc with pipe. I made a bulletproof one(read TANK) and Potto did as well. PVC carts have a short lifespan when hauling fully rigged yaks.
Ditto what Island Fox said. You can still use the plans for a PVC cart, but use 3/4" copper instead.

Copper is expensive and people would love to steal it because copper is becoming a precious metal. Instead use galvonized, cheap and strong. Mine weight about 25lbs. No one in their right mind would want to carry that around, let alone steal it.

Copper is $5 a foot....mine is aluminum! What I want to know is where do you get the replacement tires with the plastic rims...not the ones they sell at harbor freight that are metal????

There's also a negative side.

Sears believe it or not. I just picked up replacement wheels from my weed whip and they have plastic rimed tires in the service center next to the auto department well the one in thousand oaks. I was blown away when the guy at OSH told me that. Now the ones I got were 12" narrow non pneumatic but they have other ones there too. My were $22.95 so if anyone knows of a cheaper place though speak up.

Copper is under $24 for 10 feet. Way more than you will need. Another $10 for fittings. $5 each for the wheels at Harbor Freight. Let them rust for that price. That cart above is pretty elaborate with a kickstand and removeable parts. Mine is one piece that straps on top or take it back to the car.

Hey guys thanks for the heads up on No PVC. I used galvanized pipe and fittings and it worked great. I'll post pics once the metalflake paint dries(habit from building drag boats my whole life lol).Thanks again for the advice.
