I waited a while to get the gate after using the fencing to enclose a small backyard area for my dog. I thought the gate was more expensive than it should be since it's like one panel with a very small, not great looking lock. I got tired of not being able to get out so I went ahead and got it. It's alright, easy to add to fencing but I dont know how long it will hold up. For now it works as it's supposed to.
