Dog Gate for Stairs Pet Gates for The House: Dogs Screen Mesh Gate for Doorways Stairways Indoor Safety 29 inch Tall, 45 inch Wide

I have six (yes six) German shepherd's ranging between 80 and 95 lbs. they respect the boundary and it works as advertised. Here's a problem I think most of the negative comments come from. If your dog is not trained, this won't work because it can be torn by their nails. If your dog is not trained to respect boundaries, they can run right through this because even with it being screwed in or taped on, the eye hook is elastic and will pop off. This is a well made sturdy product and performs exactly as I expected it to but this is not for all dogs. It will not work for puppies (they are still learning boundaries) or untrained adult dogs of any size.Opening and closing is simple. You may want to position your hooks in different directions to keep them from slipping off when you open. For example, my bottom hooks are sideways facing opposite each other. One of my top hooks, the one I use to open and close is facing up whereas the opposite hook is sideways. This keeps them from coming off when I go in the kitchen.The product comes with extra sticky backs because you will probably need them. I did because I had to play around with the direction of the hooks. Once you pull the hook off, it doesn't stick right anymore.For the cost, this is peace of mind. It keeps the dogs from laying around in the kitchen. The value of this item is worth the small cost of it. They don't counter surf but the hair omg. I don't cook often but I have to clean everything in the kitchen before I cook. This saves a lot of work.It's super light weight and easy to use.

This is a terrible product. The thing does not stay put on the little plastic hook things. I feel like the hooks could use some kind of latch to lock the looped ends into place. Every time I put one side on (top and bottom), then try the other side, one or both pops right off! I’ve tried several variations of placement. Terrible, terrible. Do NOT recommend!

I bought this for my bedroom door so that my Holland lop bunnies could free roam in my room with the door open. It works great but the command strips peeled my paint off when I had to take one of them off to readjust and you can’t put the pink screw covers on without a hammer. I bought the size that it said I would need for my door after I measured multiple times but it’s still didn’t fit. It looks great except for when it was folded in the box. The folds never came out and there is a small gap about 1 inch between the floor and the bottom of the gate that my Holland lop bunnies might be able to squeeze under. Other than that, it works great and as advertised

My small Schnoodle does not mess with this at all even if I have it hooked on the two upper hooks and the two bottom hooks are not even attached. He still doesn’t enter in because it’s blocked. Set up was a breeze under five minutes, maybe even less than that. Easy design easy installation the hooks have very sticky tape so be careful applying it to walls that have paint because it might chip off. But that just shows it’s stable to keep the gate up. I am very impressed. This is definitely better and easier to keep my dog out of the living room when I’m at work. I have a problem with him, pulling all the pillows down off all the couches and leaving accidents so this helps control him instead of taking him out every two hours with that gate up. It’s now 3 to 4 hours with him being three years old. He should be able to be continent for a slightly longer period. I’m just happy to come home and the living room stay in a neat way. I am impressed it’s only 2 days he is already use to it and his boundaries. Thank you!!

These work really well when they are up and closed, however they don't have a nice neat "open" way to store them while still attached on one side. You may need to create your own mechanism for wrapping it up when also open. It is very easy to remove completely and put back up though, so if you have a good place to store it nearby, you can always just take it all the way down when you want it open and then put it back up. I also tried rolling it up to the side, and used a curtain tie to keep it rolled up, but it wasn't very tight and still looked kind of messy. Also, depending on how small your pet is, you may need to tack down the bottom middle if it's not tight enough going across. One of my Poms is very crafty, and he was able to push under it, despite it being relatively taught. I put a nail in the middle right under the lip of the top stair, and I poke it through the bottom of the screen when it's up. Works great. Just make sure the nail is in far enough and covered enough that no one can scrape their foot on it as they're climbing the stairs. Make sure you measure the opening and order the right size as well. You want it to be tight going across, but not too far from the walls that your pets or kids can climb through the gaps on the sides.

Sorry. It wasn't the best material. I didn't want to use the screws to mess up the walls but it wasn't the best so we took it down. Our cat went right through it.

It works, but if you got anything over 30lbs, get something heavy duty. Also, don't forget its there, because you yourself are likely over 30 pounds and will walk straight through it. Easy setup as well.

I bought this to keep my elderly dog from attempting to go up the stairs unsupervised. However, it is very difficult for the dog to see the barrier since it is black. From his perspective, it’s not very visible. I think it would be better. If the mesh was white. He does not see the barrier and tries to run up the stairs despite its presence. Maybe a younger dog would be able to see it better. Also, the sticky pad attachments are useless.
