My old wheelbarrow, it had a flat tire anyway, so what the heck, it was standing there to catch rainfall from a broken drainpipe, when a maple salpling raised its head, not a problem, after 2 years I tried to pull it up, not a chance in h.ll šŸ˜¬ after 2 more years I tried to screw the wheelbarrow apart, cos I had bought a new tire for it, all the screws were rusted together šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø soā€¦ I bought a new wheelbarrow this year šŸ™ˆ

What do you call that kind of fencing behind it?

I have a birch tree like this on my property. At first it wasn't much thicker than the grass and I kept forgetting to chop it down with a hoe, then I was too lazy to cut it down with an axe, then I thought about whether to cut it down with a saw... Now this tree is over 40 cm thick, and you can probably climb it and it won't even bend. It's grown taller than my house. We decided to leave it, though, it doesn't interfere with anything, and in addition, boletus mushrooms started growing under this birch tree, and they're very tasty if i make soup out of them.
And so, looking at this wheelbarrow - it could probably be disassembled if you spray the bolts with WD-40 or more modern analogues, or, if they are completely rusted, then cut them off with a grinder to replace them with new ones. The wheelbarrow itself looks quite decent and could serve for a while.

I used to have a welder(retired and doesnā€™t work anymore) he built glass rooftops and they used these metal wire sheets to cover their constructions, when I saw it, I instantly thought ā€œchicken fenceā€! It wonā€™t rust and a single element was 1 m x2m , it is sturdy enough to walk on, and compared to other metal fences cheap, the welder was very talented, he built me a movable gate out of it too, I will take a picture later this day

WD40 was the first thing I tried šŸ¤Ŗ I also fear the wheelbarrow has already been absorbed by the tree

Well, there's usually no need to rush)) They pour it in and leave it, and the next day you can try to unscrew it)
I don't remember the names of the analogues of WD-40, I only know (from experience) that other, more modern sprayers soak rusty nuts better and faster, apparently they started adding something else to them. Although in Russia all these sprayers are stubbornly called WD-40, regardless of what is written on them. And no one remembers what they are called.
We have strange names in general - we call copiers (all, any, of any manufacturer and size) xeroxes, because the first copiers were sold by the Xerox company, and grinding machines are all called Bulgarian girls, because a long time ago the USSR imported these machines from Bulgaria. And now all grinding machines here, regardless of where they were made and by whom, are called Bulgarian girls. Bolgarka.
I would unscrew these bolts, honestly, I might even break them (if they didn't unscrew, using a strong key and a lever), but I live too far away) Such things can't be done over the Internet)))
I often encounter this, I sell manure in bags here, one gardener got interested on a Russian-language forum, but nothing came of it - she lives in a completely different region, where i have to go by train or fly by plane) So I never sold her the manure ))
