    I’m going to be moving several pins around the side of a house. About 1/2 the distance has little pea gravel (decorative).

    I’m trying to anticipate how well this will work before trying it. My dolly has solid 5 or 6” solid diameter wheels.

    You think I’ll just get stuck immediately?

    Will I need to put down plywood or similar?

    Thoughts / experiences are appreciated.

    Great info, thanks to all.

    If a dolly says "10 in. puncture proof tires never go flat" would you assume that means the tires are hard?

    Also, could someone tell me the product # (or link) to the "Blue Harbor Freight" dolly? I looked and didn't see it.

    Did it yesterday... 11 pins and 4 vids.

    1) Did a carefully controlled test run (with an Asteroids Deluxe game). Got stuck almost immediately
    2) Determined, not scientifically, that a different dolly (bigger software wheels) wouldn't get through (2" deep in some places with soft dirt base)
    3) Purchase 3 4' x 8' sheets of OSB, cut to correct sizes, ended up laying down 9 or so pieces. Total cost about $25

    Success!

    Thanks again
