Dutch Sliding Hoe - 1500mm Hardwood Handle - Double-edge, Low-effort Weeder for Rapid Surface Clearing

Australian Artisan Dutch Sliding Hoe- 1500mm Hardwood Handle - Master-Forged, Low-Effort Weeder

Tackling large patches of surface weeds with a traditional draw hoe is inefficient and strains the back. These Artisan Dutch Sliding Hoes are the superior solution. Hand-made in Melbourne using techniques of a bygone era, they feature a polished, double-edge straight blade that is engineered to be pushed just beneath the soil surface, cleanly scraping and severing weeds with minimal effort. The extra-long 1500mm handle ensures you can glide across large beds while standing comfortably upright, transforming garden maintenance from a chore into a quick, effortless task.

Best For The discerning home gardener who appreciates heirloom-quality, Australian-made tools and requires a long-handled, low-effort weeding solution for rapidly clearing annual surface weeds across large vegetable gardens and expansive beds.

Key Features

• Back-Saving 1500mm Reach: The extra-long 5ft Tasmanian Oak/Spotted Gum hardwood handle provides maximum leverage and reach, allowing you to glide the blade across the soil while standing fully upright, eliminating bending and back strain.

• Double-Edge Sliding Action: The straight blade is designed for a low-effort push-and-pull movement just beneath the soil, quickly undercutting weeds and cleanly shearing them from the root without disturbing the deeper soil structure.

• Master Artisan Quality (Australian Made): Hand-made in Melbourne with high carbon steel blades heat-treated to optimum hardness, guaranteeing a superior, long-lasting edge and exceptional strength that holds up to serious gardening work.

• Shock-Resistant Hardwood Handle: Fitted with a robust Tasmanian Oak handle (a feature of this artisan series) known for its long life and ability to absorb shock, ensuring comfort and durability during long weeding sessions.

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.
