Dennis Gettings Turf Barrow

Dennis Gettings Turf Barrow 

Dennis Gettings was a native of Coolarty, Granard, Co. Longford.  The Barrow he designed was a unique design that featured a crank in the handle which made the barrow easier to push. The particular slatted floor also made it easier to unload the turf without breaking it.   The reproduction shown here was made by the Rath Mhuire Men’s Group.
