[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1558821, member: 5381"] Ken is right, use nylon rollers. If you make the gate heavy and stiff you can get by with only a top roller and this is probably the best way to do one. Mine is made with square tube 2 x 2 x 3/16 and reinforced with 1/4" wire with 3 x 3 openings. The frame around it is schedule 40 pipe. It has about 1" clearance between the gate and the frame. The rollers came off an old Powder river set up. They also roll on pipe. It would be difficult to make one strong enough with wood unless you had some some good hardwood and a lot of stainless screws. They take a beating. [/QUOTE]
