Burgon & Ball RHS Garden Brush 18" Bassine – Extra-Wide Professional Sweeper

The Burgon & Ball RHS-endorsed 18-inch Garden Brush is the definitive tool for maintaining large-scale outdoor spaces. With a massive 45.5cm sweeping path, this brush is designed to tackle expansive driveways, wide garden paths, and large entertaining areas with maximum efficiency. As a premium tool carrying the prestigious endorsement of the Royal Horticultural Society, it combines heavy-duty natural fibers with a robust construction to deliver the gold standard in large-area garden maintenance.

Best For: Professionals and homeowners with extensive paved areas, tennis courts, or long driveways who require a wide-format, eco-friendly broom to clear debris quickly and effectively.

Key Features

• RHS Endorsement: Carries the highest recognition in the gardening world, ensuring professional-grade quality and performance for large-scale outdoor tasks.
• High-Density Bassine Bristles: Crafted from stiff, natural palmyra palm fibers, these dense bristles provide the rigid flicking action needed to move significant amounts of garden debris and leaves.
• Extra-Wide 45cm Cleaning Path: The generous 18-inch head width allows for maximum ground coverage, drastically reducing the time and effort required to sweep large surfaces.
• Superior Build Quality: Both the head and the 130cm handle are made from FSC® certified hardwood, treated with a protective wax finish to ensure long-term durability against the elements.
• Ergonomic & Efficient: Despite its impressive size, the brush is balanced for comfortable use, featuring a long handle that promotes a healthy, upright sweeping posture.
• Practical Storage: Includes a genuine leather hanging loop, allowing the brush to be stored off the ground to prevent the natural bristles from flattening or distorting over time.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
