Love this video. Nicely done - and thank you. One question - does this prevent (or have you thought about) an intruder from simply lifting the end of the gate up, off the tracks, and carrying it into the customer's property (say, 4 feet) to just walk inside? Or, did I miss something? Maybe an enhancement (cable/chain) looping around the track it slides on, to hold that end of the gate to the fence?
I just checked. The caster wheels that ride on the tracks, they have like a J hook go beneath the track to prevent them from jump off the tracks or from people trying lift the gate off the tracks to gain entry.
great job in notching out end of pipes look good... and that welding look like a machine welded it very good...

Good idea. I was not thinking like thieves. I'll definitely make couple brackets to prevent it from lifting on the tracks. Thanks

It's a budget build. Its good enough.
Cool. Thanks. I think i what it was called, but sometimes i go brain dead or the word is at the tip of your tongue. Just won't want to come out.
Doesn’t show how it opens :(
The gate sides to the left. It has two track caster wheels riding on the tracks and one dual wheel on the ground. Sorry video on it opening.
