This was absolutely the best purchase I ever made sight unseen. Sturdy and esthetically pleasing. Used an eye hook to attach to the wall and bought an extension kit to form a L-shaped corrall (one side was a wall and the other side was the back door with easy access to the doggy door,so basically it's a rectangle. Fits 3 small dogs comfortably. Oh, and love the swinging door which opens inward or outward. AND my escape artists can't figure out how to climb vertical slats, so I am thrilled with this gate.
