Could this gate be used outside?

I would NOT recommend it for outdoor use as it is not treated lumber and would probably become warped or damaged from wet weather. Everything in the guide shows for indoor use but nothing states it is only for indoor use. It is very sturdy, but do not know if it would hold up outdoors.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

I do not know. As a stand alone it would be sufficient to handle the small area around a gate. This does not have the same power as a normal electric fence.

My husband agrees with some of the others' answers. Yes, and you should be able to use it with any gate.Our gate is a wooden 2x6 swinging gate. We have had good luck with ours and enjoy not having to get outof the car to open and close the gate, especially in bad weather and at night. It was a wonderful giftfrom our son!

They are high quality hinges and very tough and durable. Yes, they can be used outside however galvanized steel resists rust much better. If you do use them outside i suggest keeping them polished otherwise they will eventually lose their luster and spot. When you say outside i hope they have some type of protection from rainfall.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

I don't see why not, although you might have to be creative to mount it. You should be able to bolt it directly to the gate. We are using ours on a chain-link fence/gate and it works great!

Not really. I guess if you built your own gates and mounted it to the PVC it may work, but it is not designed for one and may not be sturdy enough to support one.

Sorry can't help you as our gate is being used inside. I should imagine it would last a while but as it is wood I should think it would rot if left to the elements.

This is not a gate. It is an octogan shaped play yard. Once it's set up its freestanding. Hope that helps :-)

Not really. You can mount it as a swing gate, but it would be hard to fasten if the bannister is in the way.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

Yes, but the gate is spring loaded so it will not remain open. It would need to be propped open with something, otherwise it just closes and latches by itself.

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

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result

I haven't tried. After my son ripped it out of the wall, I use it as a temp dog gate when I come home from the grocery store.

Yes if gate is a pedestrian gate and not for vehicle access. There is a different opener for that.

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.
