Noch was zu den Transportwagen: Ein Modell ist *to carry potting sheds or large panels*.
Von einem Schuppen zu reden ist da wohl etwas zu viel. Wie übersetzt man denn potting shed am besten im Deutschen?

Gartengeraetschuppen
So Pons.
I can assure you, that's what a potting shed is in English, except that you should actually be able to work in it (to "pot" is to plant things into pots). I know it's odd to think of carrying a shed around on a barrow, but that's what it says!

Gartengeräteschuppen...thanks Hans. I can\'t do umlauts easily, and so I had to put in an extra \"e\", and forgot the \"e\" that was already there.

Gartenschuppen--suggested by Gisela, seconded by Manfred. I like this too.
\"Potting\" is of course putting plants in pots, but the term has become more general. It\'s more for \"pottering\" than just potting.

Hans G. Liepert
: Gartengeräteschuppen, to be more precise, maybe Treibhaus as well?

Sorry. I'd already put one "e" in, and so I forgot the other. I don't think of a potting shed as being heatable; so "Treibhaus" might be a bit "uebertrieben"!

Gisela Greenlee
: vielleicht genügt auch Gartenschuppen, Treibhaus ist schon wieder zuviel, das wäre ein Greenhouse

I agree on both points. With a name like "Greenlee", it's not surprising you know about gardening!

Manfred Mondt
: agree with Gisela, man kann wohl "potting" auslassen, sollte aber nicht unbedingt Geräte einflechten.

Comment: "Dank an alle, habe mich für den Gartenschuppen entschieden. Anscheinend meint damit mobilere Kleinausgaben. Treibhaus war nicht drin, da anderer Stelle erwähnt."

Vorschlag
Wenn das eh' nur ein Beispiel ist, warum nicht die Doppelgarage durch etwas ersetzen, was dem Leser sofort plausibel ist? Leider habe keine klare Vorstellung von diesem konkreten Transportwagen und kann nichts einsichtiges vorschlagen, aber ich habe grundsätzliche Zweifel, ob es sich lohnt, sich wegen eines Beispiels den Kopf zu zermarten?

: It would be just as easy to use "Gartenschuppen". After all, if the client wants to claim is wheelbarrow is able to move large buildings around, who are we to argue?
