Homemade Beach Cart Kayak Cart Wheels, Wheeleez, Beach Wheels, 10 inch diameter hub, 8 Inch self sealing/puncture resistant inner tube, which inflates up to 20 inches in diameter, and the width of the hub is 4 inches. I used foam insulation sheeting from Home Depot and sandwiched it to form the inner part of the hub. Any kind of Styrofoam will work. -- Make your own Fishing cart or Kayak cart Beach balloon wheels...These inner tube wheels are equipped with a self sealing puncture substance for tires that will roll, even glide, over soft sand, turf and other challenging terrain. The tire's low pressure permits rolling heavy loads over unstable/uneven ground with ease. These balloon wheels will not sink or plow into soft ground. They are great for use on delicate surfaces preventing indentations, as well as providing shock-absorbing qualities. I am thinking about re-making the hubs from Aluminum Diamond Plate... Here is a short video of them on the beach. https://youtu.be/U7GhcWWVA3s

I'm curious though, I didn't see a way to fill the tube once it's together, did I miss something in your video?
As well, repurposing goes hand in hand with diy. May I ask, have you given thought to just using golf cart tires? You can pick up used balding tires with the rim for around 5 bucks. Here you can at any rate.
just build a center out of plywood like you have done only smaller and your axle will fit. they even make similar tires for around $35 with the rim new. Just a thought mind you... yours I'm sure are much lighter.
I'll probably try the wheelbarrow tube first for "proof of principle" and am looking at 7-9 inch, heavy duty ATV inner tubes as larger wheels if needed. I make my own leak sealant so I'm not tied to the store bought and certainly not Slime. It only lasts 2 years.
I'm also mind surfing about the possibility of casting wheel rims in foam and then covering in fiberglass. I wonder if there are any existing plastic rims available. And another possibility is to 3D print the rims. Don't think I have access to a printer that large...yet. Everything is out there in dreamland right now.

Did you ever install a valve extender, and if so how'd you make it work? I started building these yesterday, and bought a valve extender from Orielly's; however, once installed the air leaks out of the tire. Just curious if you had any advice or encountered this issue? I'm wondering if it's worth it, or if
I should just take the wheel apart if I need to let air out or put more in. Also, I didn't fill the void/gap so I wonder if I just cut a hole on the outside big enough to access the valve--maybe that would work! Thoughts? Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing this idea. I intend to make four wheels in total for a fishing kayak that has gained a lot of weight due to added equipment.
I have made two wheels thus far and would like your thoughts about modifications.
1. I used four 6" hex-head bolts to join the two wooden discs, intending to use the foam filler as hub material. This step now seems unnecessary. Any reason I should not skip filling the void?
2. Adding two or three layers of duct tape to the tubes would help protect the rubber from any damage. Any reason I should not do that?
I appreciate any help.
Peace, Fred

Might want to put some rubber hose or around the wood edge so the wood will not cut into the tire/rub a hole in the side wall.
A couple very short SSteel wood screws to hole the rubber bead will work w/some Gorilla glue. Just a thought. Great Job.
