Can you add a gate to this? Need to keep dogs out of patio when kids come over. TY

Not really. I guess if you built your own gates and mounted it to the PVC it may work, but it is not designed for one and may not be sturdy enough to support one.

I very much doubt it. The arbor is made of plastic and is fairly flimsy unless you do a really good job of anchoring it,.

The hinges were made to attach to a 4X4 by screwing it in and hanging gate from it. You might be able to find another way but it might not be easy.

The extensions work fine, but if you add too many you will need to reinforce each connection. My husband attached small steel plates to each connection to reinforce the gate. It would swing and bow when our daughter would grab a hold of it, with the reinforcements it holds great. Hope this helps!!

No, you can make the fence round, square, etc. My sister uses her's on her deck accordion style to keep her dogs from jumping off the deck.

Hi there. I actually ended up getting rid of the gate and ordered a retractable mesh gate for our dogs. It was easy to manipulate but we did not like the look of it when open. The retractable ones are for our two pooches just enough of an impasse. Good luck.

You could just to hold the gate closed. Wouldn't be good for security purposes. Exposed power wire.

There are these small "cups" that can be screwed into the wall or post (the gate then pressure mounts into these cups) and these supposedly make the gate safe for the top of the stairs. But, I personally wouldn't do this and would get a different type of gate.

As designed, yes. But I used a pair of (about) 6"x30" x 3/4" boards, put the screw eyes in them, hooked one to each end and made the gate stand-alone. Wider boards would add stability. This approach won't work as a strong barrier, but does discourage my min schnauzers from entering restricted rooms :)

Its expandable. But i don't think you can attach it to a 2nd gate. I had it block off our kitchen I fully expanded it to do that. Good luck

Yes, you can. However, we tried to do this for the same size opening and the gate became very unstable. To the point that it no longer worked for our purposes.

I'm going to have to say no. It's a bit tricky to open, actually. You have to hold down the framework while pushing the lever on the gate and lifting up. That was frustrating. We used it to keep our little dog in a family room while we were gone. We liked it well enough for that use. It was sturdy and attractive.

As mentioned by D. W. you need to have a hardware install. If you look at the video for the summer infant gate you can see the cups they use for a top of stairs install. I don't know if they sell optional hardware, but if not you could try a DYI solution or use hardware for another gate as long as you felt comfortable with it.

You probably could. Ours is in a door frame but it has the same fittings as a child stair gate so should be ok.

Yes, I agree with adding the wood. How often will you need to go through the gate? That would make a difference on whether the wood would be falling down all the time.

I don't see why not, although you might have to be creative to mount it. You should be able to bolt it directly to the gate. We are using ours on a chain-link fence/gate and it works great!

It should look very nice. It's a great gate, it keeps our Pugs out of the dining room but easy to step over.

No, you can't lock your patio door but we put a board down to prevent the sliding glass door from being opened from the outside. It does come with a cover to close the doggie door if you want to prevent your pets from coming in/out. I will say that the doggie door looks very nice and is much better than what we had before we bought this one. Hope this helps
