Roll Gate Wheel Options
Rolling gate wheels are a common gate installation accessory. They can be used with chain link fence gates to provide a rolling gate that is easy to move and open as needed. Whether you own a residential or commercial property, chain link gate wheels can be a great addition to any chain link fencing job, as they provide the flexibility of having an easy way to open and close the gate with no manual lifting or force needed.
At All American Fence Erectors, we have over 30 years of experience installing chain link fences and gates that are customized to fit your needs. That's why we provide you with rolling gate wheels as an additional accessory option for all of our
chain link fence jobs, giving you the option of rolling your new gate whenever it's convenient.
Chain Link Fence Gate Wheel Options
We provide two different options for ground wheels on chain link rolling gates: Rubber wheels and V-groove wheels.
Rubber Wheels: Rubber wheels are intended to roll freely over any type of terrain but remember it's only as good as the ground it's rolling on. If you have rocky, sandy, or uneven ground under your rolling gate, it will make opening and closing your gate very difficult. If you have smooth hard-packed level dirt or concrete the rubber wheels work alright, but you often will still need to help guide the gate into the latch which isn't ideal, but if you aren't using the gate too often, it may not be of concern. This rolling gate wheel option is the cheaper of the two and the more common for that reason but it will take two hands and a little muscle to use.
Angle/V-groove Wheel: Angle/v-groove option is the preferred method as the gate guides perfectly in the exact same spot every time you open and close the gate. For this option to work, you must have concrete across the gate opening for the angle/v-track to bolt to. If you do not have a concrete driveway or your concrete driveway doesn't reach the gate opening, we can provide a quote for pouring a small concrete strip that works perfect for the cause (at an additional fee). This option is slightly more expensive but often well worth it and requires very little effort to use. The other plus about this setup is if you ever want to install a gate operator, the only way that will work is to have the angle/v-groove setup. Remember we don't install any of the gate operator/motors, but can refer you to a company that specializes in them for this rolling gate wheel option.

But if you need a simple and cost-effective way to open and close a chain link gate that you're not using too often, rubber wheels are a great option.
