We want to use it to block our dogs off in the kitchen when we go out. Can it be easily taken down & put back up?

Yes, it's easy, but we used the wall anchors for more stability (our dogs are large and enthusiastic) and we find it's easier to just leave them up all the time. They're reasonably attractive and the gates are easy to operate, plus this allows us to quickly and easily kick the dogs out of the kitchen if they're being pests!

That is what we do but generally just leave it there and keep gate open when needed

I do nit believe it can be easily detached. I did get it fairly easily through a 36 inch door by angling it though.

We leave ours up constantly. But a caveat. It is a low use door. Dog goes through to stoop multiple times a day and I join periodically. But we use another route for major human comings and goings. Although worst that happens if big bodies barge through the screen door is that pressure bar at top slips and has to be repositioned. For us it's been wonderful. Dog who can't walk far can be outside all day in air she loves and we're protected from bugs.

No, you have to lift it up to close it in place. The latch that locks it is a really cheap bad design. I wouldn't trust this gate if your using it for small kids. I'm using it to keep a large dog on the deck.

from what i can see, it is not removable unless you rip it off. you can just leave it closed all the time and it won't get in your way.

No easy to take off and put back on, I do it twice a week clean it and fill it again with food. It goes inplace of the food tray however, if your cage has a swinging door you can still use it but I am sometimes afraid that it will one day fall off and my bird will be able to get out. I have dogs so don't want him getting out of the cage when I am not home.

We take them off, but I guess you would not have to remove them. It is not difficult to remove, just unplu. Ours sets on a whellchair ramp to the house , the angle is pretty steep and we do not have to secure down. Best thingI have ever bought.

No-this is easy to remove. It is designed to protect a light bulb from being struck and broken, not for security.

yes, it can be down and put back up. however, I don't recommend daily. It will ware on the hardware.

Check the height for starters, make sure it is high enough that a dog cannot jump over it. I never leave my dogs unattended anyway, use this to block garage doors when I am working outside and they want to see me, etc. Useful. Can be anchored to the ground with garden spikes.

I would think so, I have it in the kitchen and it has held up very well to our abuse!I see a few negative answers here, but I think they may have not put it down correctly, blu canary is right in the explanation of putting it down, watch the video on the website, if done right it lasts. I love mine.

It lays on top of the sofa, and us very slippery if you have a leather couch, the dog can easily knock it off.However, I would not spend the money. Mine did not work at all and they wouldn't take it back. On the plus side side, it's a little crinkly and crackly and the dogs did not like the sound and feel if it, so in the end, it kept them if the couch anyway. If your dog is skitzy about noises, I'd try the aluminum-type thermal blanket EMT' s use. It's going to be a lot cheaper, available in pharmacies.

I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to if you have two good solid mounting locations to attach it to. I have mine located at the bottom of our loft stairs to keep the dogs from climbing the stairs and being in the loft unattended. It's mounted to a stud area of the wall along the stairs and to the main railing post.

It does not take much to set it off. I would think a dog could do it. Good luck

My husband assembled it and it didn't look as though it would be too hard to take it down again. I wouldn't recommend it, if you thought that you would be wanting to fold it up on a frequent basis. Rather, that after use, if you weren't going to use it for quite a while, it could be stored easily, until the next time needed. I'm probably not very helpful, but since the ad for this cage didn't use "folding up" as a selling point, I don't think it's made for that. Best of luck. Geneise

My husband bought additional s hooks and put on it and we can take it down. Its very simple. There are loops for them.

While it would be possible to use a cable lock and secure the top portion to a fence as you would a bike, the bottom has no window or vent through which to do this. I am not sure what someone might do with just the bottom, so that might be enough of a deterent. I will say that the dogs like the house!
