I can always add cement and a track later if it becomes a problem. Last option would be electric although it's close enough to have that done if absolutely needed.

can't wait to see the finished result

I finished up the fence and started building the gate this weekend. I'll definitely need to level the ground and probably pour some concrete, the gate weighs at least 150lbs. I bought the Stanley 12 ft rail but haven't installed as yet. I think once it's lined up it will look good.

Looks great! I would suggest adding one more wheel tho. Each wheel should be centered under those uprights to carry the full load. The way it is now, you are gonna have a sag problem over time.

I'll probably do so once I add the rail and level the ground, right now, the center wheel isn't even touching the ground
