Highlighted Reviews

— Sandra

"My dog was not able to enjoy the outside deck without parental guidance bc he would wander to the lower deck where I would not know what he was up to. I can now leave him outdoors without worry. The gate fits snugly and I don't have to worry he'll escape!"

"I received this gate and was surprised at how flimsy it was. It also came broke. Chewy’s customer service was awesome though."

Bottom Line
