Abstract: Various embodiments of a utility cart load binder provide for positively securing a load in or to a utility cart, such as a garden cart, wheelbarrow, etc. Each embodiment includes a series of preferably four cords or lines, with each having a cart attachment end and an opposite load securing end. The cart attachment ends of the lines are removably or permanently secured to the upper portion of the side walls of the cart, where they may be extended to a point above the center of the load contained in the cart. A generally central binder attachment fitting (ring, tarp or the like, etc.) is positioned atop the load, with each of the lines then being removably and adjustably attached to the fitting. The lines may comprise elastic bungee cords, or inelastic material as desired, with various cart side wall attachment systems being provided.
