The roller you've made in the last image looks good but how much load will be on the PVC pipe?
I think it would be a possible wear point where the axle goes through the PVC but that would be load dependant.

Hi , +1 for Leo's comment about axle/pvc wear. Maybe a metal collar could be glued into the pvc pipe to fit the axle into. Anyway watching with interest Anthony.
