This was a last minute addition to our outdoor set up. We needed a gate that matches our fence to secure our back patio for our dogs. This arrived quickly and it is pretty sturdy, black metal, which was what we searched for online.  It is also the perfect size. The latch is a bit tricky and if you were using in multiple times a day, it may not hold up for an extended length of time, but for our needs it works great! So far it has held up fine against our weather conditions too. I would purchase again if it's necessary in the future .
