Gate Wheel
Clamped partway up the latching end of a five-rail steel fence gate is a length of inch-diameter metal tubing that’s L-shaped at the bottom to which the gate wheel has been affixed.

The Gate Wheel is a 6-inch wheel that's clamped on the end of a gate so it helps carry the weight of the gate. This reduces stress on the hinges and allows a wide gate to be easily opened without the farmer/ rancher having to lift or drag it. The wheel can be positioned to extend as far as 24 inches below the bottom of the gate.
