Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Weeding Fork – Precision Two-Pronged Weeder

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Weeding Fork – Precision Two-Pronged Weeder

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Weeding Fork is a time-honoured tool designed for surgical precision in the garden. With its ultra-narrow 3cm head and two slender, high-strength prongs, it is the ultimate solution for extracting weeds from the most challenging locations. Whether you are maintaining a delicate rockery or navigating the densely packed rows of a perennial border, this fork allows you to prise out deep-rooted weeds with minimal soil disturbance.

Best For: Gardeners who need to remove weeds from tight corners, rockeries, and established borders where a standard hand fork is too wide.

Key Features

• Narrow Dual-Prong Design: The 3cm wide head is specifically engineered to reach into the tightest nooks and crannies, allowing for precision weeding without damaging the roots of nearby prized plants.

• High-Strength Extraction: The two slender stainless steel prongs provide exceptional leverage for prising out stubborn taproots and creeping weeds from compacted soil.

• Rust-Resistant Durability: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the head is highly resistant to rust and mirror-polished to ensure it slides easily through the earth.

• Ergonomic Hardwood Handle: Features a smooth, durable handle made from 100% FSC-certified hardwood, offering a comfortable and sustainable grip for detailed work.

• RHS Endorsed: Officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and backed by a lifetime guarantee, representing the peak of quality and horticultural design.

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.
