Latched end of gate leans too much.
The gate comes in two sections which slide in/out to match gate opening width. However, the latched end of the gate leans badly once it is extended. There are some stop nuts, but they only stop the gate width. They are not strong enough to fix the gate “flop” once the latch end of the gate is extended. I am going to see if I can add stability by adding some zip ties, but this will lower the overall cosmetic look of the gate. At this price point, I wasn’t expecting a solidly build gate, but it seems some small matching hardware pieces would easily solve this issue.
Great gate!
We bought this gate for our deck. We have two chihuahuas that can now go out with us without the fear of them taking off. My husband, who has minimal DIY skills, had no problem installing the gate. He did watch a video on youtube, which made it easier for him.
Love This Gate
Absolutely love this gate! Have it on our porch to secure our crazy Red Heeler. Pretty easy to install. Only thing we did different is take the latch off and just lift the gate into the stopper to secure it. Works perfect! Ordering a 2nd one for the other end of the porch. (Crazy Heeler not to excited).
Latch is difficult but otherwise it's good
Gate was fairly easy to install. To open the gate is a 2 handed operation. The latch is hard to grasp + squeeze +then lift the gate. For the expense, I expected a much better latch.
Deck gate for Dog
So glad I finally found a gate that can be mounted outdoors, matches the color of my deck, and works at the top of my deck stairs. The posts I had to use are not directly across from one another, but the gate allowed for that. The instructions are not entirely clear so there were some trial and error moments. For example, the 2 gate pieces need to be together when you hang the first side, and pay attention to which is the top vs bottom. I mounted it at a height that was appropriate for the size of my dog. Yes, you need 2 hands to press the latch and lift the gate, but it’s not a big deal. This is an attractive solution for keeping my dog confined to our deck instead of chasing after deer or neighborhood dogs.
Great gate
Perfect gate for our deck entrance. Very easy to install; probably took me 15 minutes. I don't know how people were struggling with the installation of this gate.
Mediocre Gate
Not super easy to install. We mounted it at the height it said to and my 7 pound cavapoo went under it. So we either lower it, or just wait until she is bigger to use it. I have small hands and I have to use both hands to open it. Would be better for a medium dog. On the plus side it seems strong and is nice looking.
Great Gate
I don't understand why people have such a hard time figuring out this gate's locking mechanism. It's fairly simple and straightforward. Maybe you just need to be smarter?

Directions for installation was poor. Gate turned out to be nice once figured it out.
