We purchased 2 gates to stretch across a set of stairs going up and down. This also gives us the flexibility to move them around. We didn’t want anything that we had to fasten to the wall. Our 12 year old dog has a herniated disc in his back which has left his back legs much weaker so we purchased the gates to prevent him from doing the stairs. He has never attempted to move them. A larger dog might because they aren’t very heavy. He is 27 pounds. The gates don’t look terribly intrusive and are an appropriate height for the “humans” to step over. They are also easy enough to swing open to walk through because of the hinged panels. These have been perfect for our needs and a decent price. We just pulled them out of the box and put them in place.
