Reusable Cleanup Tarp for Lawns and Gardens - Landscape and Yard Accessories, Rake Leaves and Debris, Easy To Use, Collapsible Design, Sport, ( 4’ X 6’), Orange

I was a bit skeptical when I first ordered this leaf cleanup tarp, but it has proven highly effective and increased my leaf gathering efficiency at least three fold. When you set it up, with the spring pole framing, it appears like the scoop of a front-end loader. It works best when anchored by its corner stakes on soft ground. But much of my surface cleanup on 2 acres is on hard surfaces so it's a bit more awkward, as you have to stand on the front of the tarp and use a rake like a gondola paddle, sweeping in between your legs (good exercise!). If you don't stand on the tarp on hard surfaces, your raked material goes under the front lip. It could be a bit sturdier, but it has held up fine in the first season. I don't drag it around on hard surfaces because it would wreck it pretty fast. I fill it up and attach it to some hooks on the back of a landscape golf cart and run it over to the leaf compost pile, unhook it, dump it out, and it's done. It's a great design for my needs since we have a compost area. I'd be willing to pay a little more for a more commercial, robust version of this design. This is way cheaper than buying a gas powered leaf vacuum system, which is what I was originally looking at.

What a great product!! It is super easy to use and the collapsing sides keep the leaves in one place. If you need to move another part of the yard you can just drag it using the built in handles. On a day with a breeze the stakes are a huge plus. You won't be chasing it across the yard if a stiff breeze comes through. I have a leaf vacuum and I just unzip the bag and let it dump onto the tarp then I can bag the leaves or use the shredding leaves as mulch around the trees or shrubs. When you are finished it can be folded an put on a long shelf.

I purchased 2 of these and they are fantastic. Works so much better than using a tarp or wheelbarrow to move leaves and yard debris. I recommend it highly. However, I rated it a 4 simply because when assembling the 2nd one, one of the side support poles broke. The website for product support does not work and I need a replacement.

This product was just what we needed to rake up leaves in a large yard. The main pole along the back did break within the first few uses, but customer support from seller was great.Honestly this thing works better without that longer pole going along the back. We have been using it with the two side poles setup and nothing in the back. This made it easier to fold up and dump the yard waste into bags. Highly recommended!

Interesting idea, but poor execution. Assembly took longer than expected, but nothing too burdensome. However, two of the three poles supporting the exterior of the product snapped AFTER FIRST USE! As a business owner myself, I do not take poor reviews lightly. But, I must advocate for the consumer here and based on my experience, I do not recommend buying this product.

The item broke at the first time when I assemble it. The rod is a bit too long and very hard to put in place. It is so hard to assemble and I broke it at the very first time. Though its handle is a good design that makes it really easy to pick the leaves up. But for a product that broke at the first use, I won't give a good rating at all.

I begin this with; I have always used a plain tarp for the same usage so this is a step up.The Good: Very easy and nice design, went together quickly and the rods fit perfectly. I don't buy some of these other comments about the rods to long. This folded out very well. And it works per HOW YOUR SUPPOSED to use it. (small bush branches, leaves, yard waste). I assisted my brother who was trying to use a garbage bin with wheels. EZ Hauler worked much better and faster, held a lot more.The Bad: On the first use we had small bush branches from trimming, and some dead weeds piled up in the EZ Hauler. However we dragged the Hauler about 100 feet to the burn pile only on grass. The small branches tore and ripped the EZ Hauler bottom. I have tears now, and holes. The material needs to be heavier / thicker / tougher. I would say I will get one season out of my EZ Hauler, I thought I could get at least a couple of years out of it.There is no Ugly, I just used that for a cool headline... (:

The handles make this easy to haul to the curb. Stakes hold it tight for raking leaves onto it. Works so much better than just using a tarp.
