Abstract: A gate support system for the free-end of a swinging gate. The system includes a first elongated support member; a second elongated support member, a foot member carried by the second elongated support member and being vertically moveable relative to the second elongated support member between raised and lowered positions; bias means for biasing the foot member to the raised position; and a locking mechanism for locking the foot member in a desired vertical position relative to the second elongated support member. When the gate has been pivoted to a desired position, the foot member can be pushed downwardly until it rests firmly on the ground. The locking mechanism will maintain the foot member in a lowered position where it will support the weight of the free-end of the gate. A handle can be activated to release the locking mechanism and enable the foot member to move to a raised position.
