I am planning on creating a small "door frame" structure that is able to be wheeled out and placed away using a pulley-system. This project is for a performance that will be on carpet and as such I am unsure if wheels would be a good idea as they may end up just getting jammed with any debris or fibres and whatnot. While the carpet is hoovered on a daily basis I'm still worried about clogging up the wheels.
Is there another way this could be accomplished? Alas it couldn't be levitating as I have no way of fixing it to hold the load.
Thanks in advance!

There are furniture moving pads that are put under the legs of heavy items to glide them into place.
This version has a slick bottom and is meant to be used on carpets. There are similar ones with a carpeted bottom (or cover) to glide on hard surfaces.
These or similar skids could be placed on the bottom of your structure with recessed screws or other attachment mechanisms.
