Installing a sliding gate wheel involves a few key steps to ensure the gate operates smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you install it:

Materials Needed:

• Sliding gate wheel 
• Measuring tape
• Drill and drill bits
• Screws and bolts 
• Wrench or screwdriver

Steps for Installation:

1. Prepare the Gate and Track:
   • Before installing the wheels, ensure that your sliding gate is already installed and that the sliding track is properly laid out.
   • The track should be level and secure to ensure smooth operation.
2. Determine the Wheel Placement:
   • Decide where the wheel brackets will go on the gate. Typically, the wheels should be placed at the bottom of the gate. Depending on the gate size.
   • The wheel’s placement is important for proper weight distribution and gate stability.
3. Mark the Drill Holes:
   • Hold the wheel brackets against the gate at the desired position.
   • Use a measuring tape to ensure the placement is even and at the correct height.
   • Mark the holes where the screws or bolts will go to secure the wheels.
4. Drill the Holes:
   • Drill holes at the marked points on the gate, making sure the holes are large enough for the screws or bolts provided in your wheel kit.
   • If you’re installing a single wheel, the hole placement should be centered along the gate's width.
5. Attach the Wheel Bracket:
   • Secure the wheel bracket to the gate using the screws or bolts.
   • Tighten them properly to ensure the bracket is secure. Be sure the wheel can rotate freely once attached.
6. Install the Wheel:
   • If the wheel is separate from the bracket, slide the wheel into its bracket or mounting system.
   • Tighten any screws or bolts holding the wheel in place, ensuring it rotates easily and is properly aligned.
7. Test the Gate:
   • Test the sliding gate by moving it along the track.
   • Check that the wheels glide smoothly without any obstruction or resistance. The gate should be stable and move freely.
8. Adjust if Necessary:
   • If the gate isn’t sliding smoothly, check the alignment of the wheels and track. You might need to adjust the wheel height or ensure that the track is level.
   • Make sure the wheels are aligned with the gate and track to avoid any friction.

Try not to weld them onto the sliding gate frame it will be a nightmare to replace them later
