Apologises, but I am fed up of breaking brooms, so any ideas for a tough all round outdoor broom ?
I have googled & come up with [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stiff-Heavy-Duty-Yard-Brush-Saddle-Back-Farmers-Brush-Broom-Stiff-PVC-Handle-/231003965850?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item35c8e8c99a ]THIS[/url], has anyone a better option?

Many thanks as ever.
Cheers.

It's less boring than the wheel size threars, at least it hasn't already been done 17 times.

Those are pretty tough, we called them bass brooms when we're growing up on the farm, they took some serious shit (literally).

Best ones are like that from our local agricultural supplies shop.

The fish brush mentioned above is a hills brush I think.

I think they are the ones I've seen in kitchens and such like.

Cheers.

synthetic bristles everytime, local hardware store, choose the head and shaft separately, use a good blob of glue on assembly and a pilot drill and screw from the underneath of the brush head up the shaft. shove it up your a£$e and you're good to go!
