Short Dog Gate | Freestanding Decorative Pet Gates | Foldable Gate | Dog Gate for Doorways (Grey Diamond Design)

Exactly what WE needed, but our needs were pretty specific.As they say, this is for small dogs. And I’d add small dogs that are not very agile. Our frail senior could have jumped it in her younger days.Now we just needed something to block the stairs, and occasionally a doorway. Having the folding sections was great to adjust to various-sized openings. I can step over it easily, albeit carefully.It stands alone and there’s no installation, which was a huge plus.Very portable. It IS heavier than expected, but easy enough to handle. And it looks a lot better than many similar devices.

My 20-yr-old, 8 lb, deaf, blind, mini-chihuahua (depending on direction of gate 'wings') could either push out or push the gate until it fell over on her. If I (83, arthritic widow) could see the problem, and with the suggestion of my daughter (academic, age 52), could figure out the problem and solution, I don't understand how a highly-paid Quality Control Engineer could not. I used four medium-sized door stops and cut slots with an exacto knife to give the gate the stability it needed. I'd gladly take a share of the Engineer's salary for the idea.

There is nothing too fancy or particular to say about this item. It is three boards with a design held together by hinges. It arrived intact and works great. The gray color looks very nice. Simple to grab and relocate. Sits flat, so it was built correctly.

One of my smarter dogs will swing the side open and sneak through, so I sometimes use a blanket if I for sure don’t want them to get somewhere. It’s mostly a deterrent.

Great for small dogs, it is free standing so a bigger dog could move it.
