I've got two timber rustic gates which meet in the middle. The wooden gate posts (or piers) have sagged over the years, so we have to lift the gates to open them. I'm using a level along the top of each gate and a piece of timer to lift the gate to level it before adding a castor to each gate. I first bought swivel castors which is a mistake - they twist when opening, so I'm getting fixed castors, which will run in a straight line, following the gate as it opens. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the video. At time stamp 7:04, it appears your wheel is possibly hitting the side of the fence, preventing the wheel from rotating freely. The wooden block you installed appears recessed in causing the wheel to be closer to the fence, so a thicker block will help.
The wheel spins 180 degrees as you open and close the gate. It will always line up with the direction the gate is moving. However, if the ground is rough (dirt, rocks) the wheel may not rotate as smoothly as it would on a flat surface.
Yes, I had this problem with swivel wheels so I'm getting fixed wheels so they won't turn. You might not need big spring-loaded ones, as long as the bottom of the gate clears the ground and the wheel keeps it off the ground.
Translation: Toes that stick out from flip-flops. Are you asking if the wheel will hit your feet (toes)? I mounted the wheel a few inches in so it would not stick out and hit my feet (toes). I do not recommend mounting the wheel on the outer edge of the gate since the wheel rotates and could hit your feet or other objects you are moving in and out.

Good idea using the zip tie. Im about to tackle my gate in a few minutes. Thanks!

Doesn’t the wheel turn sideways and stop the door from opening?
