  • / Lawn Roller Repair -- split open due to freeze up
Hi All,

So, I got my hands on this 48" lawn roller where it was left full of water over the winter which expanded, splitting the seam open as per the attached pics. I plan to try to bend this back into shape after heating it with a torch and then weld the seam shut.

Has anyone had to do a similar repair... I believe I will also need to wrap a chain or heavy duty strap around the roller at the widest spot and tighten it gradually to pull the seam closed.

Please share any ideas / thoughts on best way to repair this.

Thanks in advance!
