Toddleroo by North States 60"-103" Extra-Wide Swing Baby Safety Gate, Natural Wood

This was purchased for my nephew's kitchen with a very wide opening to the family room. I did alot of online research looking for a baby gate with adequate width and reasonable price. I quickly discovered there is very limited choices for wide gates. This one has worked great. It was easy to put up and can just be stepped over. The gate can be opened, they just choose to step over it. The height is adequate to restrain a two year old and probably older. This is a good buy.

This is my second gate, the first one lasted 5 years in a pretty harsh outdoor environment. It is not easy to find these extra wide wooden gates, especially for a reasonable price. I use them specifically to block off the deck stairs so my two rambunctious dogs cannot get off the deck and get into trouble. I do not attach the gate to the deck posts, I simply bungee cord it in place and step over it as needed (it is 3 ft tall). The previous gate withstood rain, snow, sun & humidity for 5 years without any problem. It just recently rotted in one place and broke at the bottom and needed to be replaced. For the price, you can't beat it. And the wood weathered the same color as my deck so it looked great.
