Burgon & Ball - Traditional Trug - Large – The Quintessential Harvest Companion

Burgon & Ball Traditional Trug - Large – The Quintessential Harvest Companion

The Large Traditional Trug is the ultimate accessory for the productive gardener. This high-capacity, artisan-crafted vessel is designed for significant harvests, providing ample space for everything from long-stemmed brassicas to a heavy haul of orchard fruit. Hand-made using traditional methods and sustainable materials, this trug is a timeless investment that blends heritage craftsmanship with everyday practical utility, ensuring your home-grown produce is transported with the care it deserves.

Best For: Serious kitchen gardeners, allotment holders, and those with orchards who need a high-volume, lightweight, and durable container for substantial harvests.

Key Features

• Substantial 57cm Capacity: The generous length and width make this trug ideal for larger vegetables like leeks, rhubarb, and marrows, or for gathering a large volume of apples and pears.
• Artisan Hand-Craftsmanship: Each trug is individually formed from strips of shaped FSC® populus wood, making every piece a unique example of traditional woodworking.
• Marine-Grade Fixings: Held together with solid brass pins and screws, ensuring the structure remains robust and rust-free even when exposed to damp garden conditions.
• Gentle on Produce: The smooth, natural wood slats and wide, shallow base prevent the crushing and bruising of delicate fruits and vegetables that can occur in deeper buckets.
• Lightweight yet Strong: Populus wood is chosen for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, allowing you to carry a heavy load of produce without adding unnecessary weight to the tool itself.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ 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
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
