I have put up a 1,100 split rail fence, and am now faced with building
4 gates to go along with it. What I'm looking to build is something

Given the amount of cross bracing the gates shouldn't sag in and of

thin wire rope from the top hinge-side corner down to the opposite corner.
The wheel would help reduce the stress on the gate posts though.
