I use mine as a stand-a-lone. It went thru the entire winter with all the snow and wind and did not fall over. I really like it a lot, well made

It comes with metal two sided pieces to attach to bottom so it should be able to stand alone. I don't remember how long they are. Maybe 7-8 inches

Would need some extra support of some kind depending on what was growing on it. Mine is pretty sturdy, but I have it tethered to a fence for support of heavy grapevines

You can stand it alone you'll just have to dig it in and maybe use some plaster to set it.

Yes, mine stands alone. There are stakes to put in the ground, but we reinforced ours with wood blocks under the surface of the ground.

I have mine against the wall, it is solid for my purposes, it is a great value for the price. Hope you are happy with it.

Not really. But you can turn it on its side and place up against the wall. I do this when we have guests and my workout room become a spare bedroom.

forgot to mention yes it can be used as a through the wall permanent mount unit but you will need to buy the box that it mounts in separately and it will most likely need to be done by a contractor.

You will need to drill small holes and use screws and/or wall anchors to mount each end in a solid backed wall a less solid wall may not be secure enough to hold and could cause damage from not holding up. Otherwise the the rest of the unit lies flat will not damage wall (except for the small drill holes)

I use it with a standard metal frame but it's against the wall. it looks strong.

No you could Def use it flat against the wall as well. It's flat part way across the back then forty fived on ends to fit tight back against a corner.

If you have a smooth surface, it will mount using the suction base.You will not be able to use it alone. But, you can mount it on a small plate from your kitchen and support it as a base.

Yes, I stand it against a wall when not in use. It's mostly quarter inch or so angle.

If by stand alone you mean not attach to wall, then no, this is not that type of gate. The gate needs to be nailed/bolted to the wall. Will need special parts to attach it to a stair post.

It can be used as a single wall. Run one wire to the length you want then loop back the same direction 3-4 feet up/down or to the side of the wire back to the control box. Comes with illustrations of several options. Mine runs in a L shape.

No they do not have to be placed against a wall. They are pretty sturdy and steady. They are infact all heavy wood!

You can only attach it to one side but if you wanted to leave it off you would still have to put it against the wall on that side because where the side is missing it will be bare.

you can lean it up against the wall but it will not sit alone, I hung mine with just a dry wall hanger and its been fine, but it does come with screws for the wall

I use it in a window. I believe it can be used as a wall unit, but I have no direct experience with that.

Yes it can be used as a thru wall unit. Instructions for that are in the included manual.

can stand by itself but should be butted against a wall so it is more stable.
