I need a gate this width for outside on our patio. Would this hold up decently? I don't need it to last forever, but 2 years would be ideal.

This is a sturdy pet gate, and I think it will work fine for you. It's made of wood and expandable, and if you attach it securely I think you'll be happy with it. We use ours inside and haven't had any issues with it after about six months of daily use. Hope that helps!

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

This is a wooden gate that is not finished.I would suggest either staining it or putting a coat of Thompson seal on it to keep it from absorbing rain.Otherwise it should be fine.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

I have two small pups and it works perfectly...inside. I don't know if it is meant for outdoor use. The extreme outdoor elements (rain, snow) might be too harsh. I have only had it one month and as I stated before it works great.

I don't think it would hold up well outside. It is very well built/designed but I believe it was intended for inside use. It may do okay on a covered patio that was sheltered from the weather or it might do okay if you lived in a very dry area with little precipitation, but even in direct sun contact, I think the quality would go down quickly. We have it inside and we have loved it. Great toy! Hape products are impressive

We do not recommend using this gate outside. Certain elements such as sun, rain and wind may cause the gate to crack or warp over time.

I would say probably not, just because if the plastic brackets. The gate itself would hold since its metal and seems very sturdy (been using ours for 2 years). If you try it i would make sure you you bolt it into studs on both ends to make if as sturdy as possible

It is ok. It will hold up a little bit but not forever. The sun and rain will eventually make it rot as it does with everything. We live in southwest Florida and even our patio umbrellas get dry rot.

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.

It is super easy to set up and take down once you get use to it. Your biggest issue would be storage it's not a lightweight travel gate. We also tie dark sheets to a corner to crate shade when we use it outside.

I use mine for a 3' opening and it works perfectly because the sides bend in to keep the gate standing. While it would stretch across your opening, I don't know how sturdy it would be w/o having the sides tilt in. If it were me, I wouldn't do it for the space that big.

Absolutely. I have left mine up for ten months and there's not a tear. It has also stood up to some pretty fierce winds, but I wouldn't recommend putting it up on a windy day, unless You have some good auger stakes. Mine is on a concrete patio, and I have eyebolts going into the concrete for the tiedowns.

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.

Outside diameter is about 4.5". Thickness is about 1" each. So with one on either side of the gate they would reduce your opening by 2".

Read my review. in order to secure this gate so it cannot br knocked down, you can't open it. My 2 year ol knocked it down. This gate would fail unless you never need to open it and just need a wall you can see through. If it's not a large dog that climbs I recommend a Summer brand gate that's regular height.

this gate utilizes pressure mount and does not use any hardware to the walls. So if your bannister is FLAT or has about 2 inches (width) of flat surface area you should be okay. If it is a high traffic area or somewhere someone might trip like a stairway, I would recommend searching for a sturdier gate. We bought two. 1 came broken and 1 we broke within a couple weeks. When I say broke... shattered beyond repair. The one that came broken we were able to use small screws to repair with out splitting the wood (barely) but not expand the gate after repairing it (screws got in the way). We have since bought new gates, which defeated the bargain pricing. this gate utilizes pressure mount and does not use any hardware to the walls.

Yes, I agree with adding the wood. How often will you need to go through the gate? That would make a difference on whether the wood would be falling down all the time.

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!

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan

It doesn't seem like an outdoor gate. The metal is not thick, nor powder coated. I wouldn't place it outdoors.
