This week I try out the gate wheel from QuikFence in Warwick QLD. This neat little product may be the solution for dragging gates that I've been looking for! I reckon if it works it might even help save some marriages. Check out my website for product links.

You secretly read those instructions a coupe of times didn't you? 🤨 That wheel is a great bit of design work, very well thought out. I think that I have seen about 100 failed gate wheels and the worse they fail, the harder they make it to use the gate until you have to lift up the end of the gate to be able to open it. Castoring wheels are about the worst. I'm going to have to think seriously about getting some of those wheels. 🤠

Tim, Another great video and product review. I live on the coteau in South Dakota, USA..... With the amount of snow we get here I really don't think a gate wheel will help. But since you took time to review, video and install the product I'll give it a look. Thank you for taking time to film and post this video.

Living on black soil and with fence posts that move whenever it rains, mine got a bit more involved than that. I got sick of wrestling it to get it fully open, so went for the over kill option. The 14' gate doesn't sag, not now it has a 50x75x3mm rail and cantilevered rollers bolted onto it.

Tim, I had to laugh the grinder, I've just bought a small holding in South Australia. Some old pig pens I do not need. I advertised and a chap started cutting with a cold saw, the saw failed on the last gate, so an angle grinder was used. The inevitable happened started a three acre grass fire. Perhaps mention the fire risk especially for the new people to rural living.

You certainly do your bit to keep the rural economy ticking over, and I have to thank you once again. Every time you do a review I end up buying the product. From the very first review I ever watched you do (Massey ride on mower) I’ve always loved your honesty and getting the word out there on different things. At least I can set my farm up and know that the products I purchase have past the Tim Thompson test. Thanks mate

Great video and that looks a great product. I've just watched the manufacturers video, but it didn't allow comments. Then I randomly picked yours and you use the same wheel, LOL. I'm making a bespoke steel framed gate myself, about 12ft 6 inch long. The gate has to open up a slope on slightly uneven ground, so I'm going to fix my own design of sliding hinge at the bottom of the gate and weld up a wheel bracket for a wheel on it at the latch end. The thing with this gate, is that the wheel has to support the whole weight of the gate as it opens up the slope. Unfortunately I can't make one of those triangle shaped gates like you see in some commercial properties, as the gate has to be rectangle from the ground up and covered in steel mesh, when it's shut, to stop people's dogs coming in my field off the public road.

Tim - great video as usual. I'd be keen to get your thoughts on a solution for ground that is more uneven (think lump dirty, bushels of thick grass). I am putting on a few 5m gates and thinking of doing a little attachment and then attaching a jockey wheel (bought from Facebook marketplace to keep the price down). That way you can lower or extend the wheel depending on where the gate stops (if not closed) and most importantly if you extend the wheel a bit higher than the gates attachment you can push the weight back into the post. Hence no post-movement over the long term. Thoughts?

Hey there “that guy” nice to hear from you. Alas, some long gates sag no matter what the hinge. I agree, well hung 12’ gates should not need this. But even then, some soils move and muck up even the best hung gates..... if you don’t need to get one, then that’s great. If you do, then it’s a good product.
