It use to have a set of zoomies on it until one of my dads customers had to buy them for his boat. The other front wheel was damaged by a Cat while it was sitting in a field (former owner).

Very cool idea for a gate!
I have seen wheels seriously damaged by cats constantly peeing on them, I guess spoked wheels are especially vulnerable?
Just keep the same amount of stuff on the right
as there is on the left. Seeing straight ahead is highly overrated....
