Burgon & Ball Spade - National Trust

This garden spade has been tested to a breaking strain of 100kg – that’s 82% stronger than the British standard. The high-carbon steel head and socket are solid forged from a single piece of metal for optimal strength, with a textured powder coating in a distinctive antique bronze shade to protect from corrosion. Wide comfort treads at the top of the blade prevent any discomfort for the feet. A robust D-handle in high-carbon steel gives maximum life, and the joints at the socket and D-handle are double-riveted for a secure connection. The ash shaft and grip give enduring comfort, and the shaft bears a brass plaque as a hallmark of the reassurance of these two trusted names in gardening.

• Overall length - 100cm
