How sturdy is this gate after being mounted?

The mounting brackets come with sticky tape or screws. I Screwed mine into the wall. I never had any issues with the gate, seemed very strong if installed correctly.

Very sturdy. If you follow the directions and take it a step further by using screws to secure the brackets to the wall it won't move at all. I only have mine pressure mount secured at the bottom of my stair case and it hasn't moved. Because each corner can be individually adjusted you can get the perfect fit even if your walls or opening are uneven.

I feel it is very sturdy. We've had it up over a year now, going in and out of it often, and it is still secure.

It's pretty sturdy. My child is a serious climber and we quite rough with the gate and I've never had any problem with it.

As long as you leave the gate up, it's fine. Be careful taking it down if you have to. I suspect someone yanked on mine instead of loosening the ends all the way to remove it.

I installed one on a gate that is about 4'x7' and made out of pine. I imagine it would work on a heavier gate.

once it is mounted it seems very sturdy. It sits about 2" from wall. We put our cable box on it and it works great.

I haven't removed it but it looks straight forward. However, the mounting hardware will still be on the gate. If you take that off you will need a drill or a strong arm and a screwdriver.

Attached to a good solid fence post on both sides it could support a light weight gate. Definitely not stand alone. It's a little top heavy, PVC is flexible and itsways a bit. I have mine over steps and the hand rails inside the arbor add a lot of support.

The gate I have it installed on is over 7 feet long. It holds it really nice. The question is whether or not the post it sturdy enough to hold the gate up.

Yes I purchased this item and I find it to be pretty sturdy. I put a few coats of polyurethane on it and put it outside on my gate. I LOVE IT. It is worth more $ then it costs.Can't find a better deal anywhere.

I didn't have any problems with the fence. It is well crated and even survived a drop from the lift-gate with only damage to one of the fence adjustment clamps - which was promptly replaced.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.

I've had this gate installed for about 4 years with my twins and have never had a problem. You may have to tighten the bolts from time to time but that should be about it. I love mine, even years later!

I have it for my 4' high x 12' chain link gate and it supports that just fine. I'd guess the gate to weigh 50 or more pounds. Sorry, never weighed a gate before. It took my daughter and I to lift it and place it on the pole.

I believe the opening can be no more than 72" so you should be fine. My opening is 59 1/2 and I left off one section of the gate not to be used. Nice and sturdy. We have no complaints about the gate as long as you can secure attach each end solidly into the wall you should be good.

Any gate mounted above stairs needs to be hardware-mounted. This pressure-mounted one eventually can wiggle loose, especially if the surfaces it's pushing up against for mounting are not completely square horizontally. More than once we have stepped to open it and the whole thing dislodged, and we hadn't realized it was that loose.

That would seem to be ok... the gate itself is not that heavy and the design is really good. I wouldn't see any problems doing it that way.

If there is a solid wall type of structure on each side to firmly attach the extensions to framing the gate, then possibly it would hold up. I don't think you could expect it to be strong enough with two extensions attached together and then the gate. I have it attached to stucco walls on each side and it works great, but I think if it were attached to a string of extensions it would not hold up as well. I hope that helps. But I would call the manufacturer to ask them- it's a good product, but as I do not use the extensions I can't say for sure.

The kit spans roughly 3.9 feet, however you could probably keep buying add on side parts and connecting them. One side add on is about 5 inches wide and the other is around 7 inches wide. I'm not sure if that would compromise the sturdiness of the gate though.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue.Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.
