I have a 30 inch prize wheel (see [https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ROUDIA8/ref=oh\_aui\_detailpage\_o08\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ROUDIA8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) ). I’m looking for a container or case to lug it around in. I’ve been using the cardboard box it shipped in but that’s falling apart. Someone suggested a floral wreath carrying case but I haven’t had much luck with that. I’d prefer a hardshell case if possible. Anyone have any suggestion? Thanks! ---

Find a home sewer, it’d be easy enough to fashion something, I think. Good Luck! ---

Would a case for cymbals work? ---

Seems like [this](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Heavy-Duty-Xmas-Christmas-Wreath-Storage-Bag-w-Handles-Red-for-30-Wreath/625960369?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227077279781&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=189546609007&wl4=pla-293208041176&wl5=9028297&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=625960369&wl13=&veh=sem)might work. Not hard-sided but brags of being strong. I have also seen plastic wreath cases but didn’t find any today; probably at Christmas they might turn up at Home Depot and you could upgrade. ---

Build it out of wood and add 4 casters and a handle? A pre-made case will probably cost more than the wheel. There are cases for racing bike tires, but these start over $200. ---

Have you checked the Container Store? There’s one across from the Galleria and another one on the northwest side at 1960 and Champion Forest. ---

Not hard-sided but brags of being strong. I have also seen plastic wreath cases but didn’t find any today; probably at Christmas they might turn up at Home Depot and you could upgrade. I looked at those. I’m not sure a soft case will stand up to the pegs on the front of the wheel. However, I might wind up having to go that route. Thanks! ---
