Product Information
Full details
The ProDec 13-inch Yard Broom Head is designed for homeowners and construction professionals who need a rugged tool for heavy-duty outdoor cleaning. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-density natural palmyra fibres and an 80mm deep head, which excels at moving dense debris like gravel, wet leaves, and building site waste. A notable caveat is that this product ships as a head only, requiring you to purchase a compatible 28mm handle separately to complete the assembly.

FAQs
Does this broom come with a handle?
No, this is a head-only product. You must purchase a 28mm diameter handle separately.
Can this be used on indoor floors?
The bristles are very stiff and coarse, so it is not recommended for smooth indoor surfaces like wood or tile, as it may scratch them.
Is the palmyra fibre natural or synthetic?
It is made of natural palmyra fibre, which is prized for its stiffness and durability in outdoor environments.
How deep is the bristle head?
The head depth is 80mm, providing a higher density of bristles than standard household yard brooms.
Will the bristles rot if left outside?
While palmyra is moisture-resistant, leaving any organic fibre in standing water for extended periods can eventually degrade the material. Always store in a dry location.
Troubleshooting
The handle keeps coming loose from the socket.
Ensure the handle is exactly 28mm in diameter. If it is undersized, you may need to wrap a small amount of tape around the end of the handle to create a tighter fit.
The bristles are becoming misshapen.
Avoid storing the broom standing on its bristles. Hang the unit vertically when not in use to allow the fibres to return to their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up this broom, you must source a standard 28mm (1 1/8 inch) wooden or metal handle. Simply push the handle firmly into the socket; the integrated push-fit design is intended to hold it in place securely. To ensure longevity, store the broom head upside down or hung by the handle to prevent the weight of the brush from distorting the fibres over time. After using the brush in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the bristles with water and allow the head to dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent rot or fungal growth within the natural fibres.
