Between them are horizontal planks forming the wall of the cart. All this wood sits on a thick horizontal piece of wood which forms the floor of the cart. In the bottom centre of the cart is a solid wooden wheel. It is made of parallel pieces of wood rounded to make a circle. Two other pieces of wood at ninety degrees are fixed to hold the wheel together. The cart is a simple but strong structure.
