The genuine old ones have become very expensive now. You'll probably find it a lot cheaper to go to one of the carpentry shops on the Saniye or along the Karaculha Road and buy new ones. Then you can 'distress' them yourself.

I cannot recall seeing any in the Turkish Gardens, but they are so popular in the U.K.  I used to sell them and had them outside my shop.  One thing to remember, is, if you are putting them in your garden treat them with wood preservative and do this every year, as they will rot over time.

If you do get hold of any, make sure you chain them to the wall as they're going to be nicked !

There are loads of them in the antique shop, Tola Furniture, I think that it's on 268 Sokak. It is at the back end of the workshop area. Just ask the owner to have a look in his "other" store across the road. Last time we were there I noticed dozens of cartwheels, mostly solid ones.

Be careful, they aren't as big as they used to be

KKOB where is Tola near please.

There is a large place on the main road, left hand side, near Ortaca, if my memory is correct.  Has a large stock of garden antiques, carts, wheels, pots, wooden pieces, etc.  We stopped there a few years ago, with the gardening club.
