We couldn’t find any good DIY article on building a rolling gate. We pieced different information and filled in missing links to create one of a kind rolling gate.
Depending on how big your gate is you might need 2 pairs.
Put in WD-40 to avoid rusting
2 inch or 2 1⁄4 inch concrete anchors
Try home depot for tapcon concrete anchors, 2 inch or longer than that works best.
I borrowed concrete drill from a very friendly neighbor.
In our case, when we planned the placement of fence post. We had 2 fence post 2 feet apart to support and guide the rolling gate.
Once you drill holes on the v-track. Place it on top of concrete and mark the spot. Drill holes on concrete using concrete drill. Make sure you follow instruction as specified on the concrete anchor for drill bit size.
NOTE: make sure you match the right drill bit for both drilling holes on the v-track and on to the concrete. I found this to be hard task
