Has anyone used this gate outdoors?

I have not but I can tell you that I would not recomend it. We use it inside. Personally, and from experience with other items made of similar material, that the plastic will sunn rott and the metal will rust. First thing that will go if you use it outside is the plastic and from there the gate is useless. If it is shaded and protected from the moisture it might last a while but not for a permanate fixture. Hope this helps

We have one set up outdoors to contain our puppies on the deck. I doubt it will last very long, but it's such a great product that it's worth repurchasing if and when needed.

Definitely. Mine is mounted on a wooden gate. It was easy to mount following the instructions. It also has mounting instructions for chain link and other metal gates.

No. Gates with that feature are pretty descriptive to that point. This is a very cheap gate. You can't apply to much pressure with it or it will break.

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.

According to the documentation it is made for outdoor use, however on a gate, you'll need to make sure that there is enough flat surface on both sides to install. I wanted to install one on my security screen door but couldn't because it didn't have enough solid flat surface to do so.

I haven't made that experience yet, but it depends on how strong the magnetic field radiates above the ground in front of those gates. It has worked for me in several occasions at traffic lights, though.

The gate is attached with 4 small brackets so as long as the surface has a flat area approximately 1 1/2 inches square it will work.Ive had mine for months and would highly recommend it.

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.

Yes, we had everything we needed to install it. Works well as an outside doggy gate at the top of our deck steps. Have to be very careful opening or the bottom pin pops out if the bracket on hinge side. The pin should have been longer. It works but we don't open it often.

It's a great gate. We've had it for a year. My six year old has no problem with it. Plus you can hear it lock when someone closes it, so you don't have to walk over and check the gate was locked.

You can use this with any gate. I was not able to use this because of the circumference of the post we have so make sure to double check the measurements. If you are interested in mine let me know.

Yes it is an awsome gate. I bought two for my daycare. It adjust easily by using the tool provided it just turns to the tightness you need. Getting ready to by another!

I doubt it. The internal mechanism is spring loaded and probably not water proof. The rest of the parts are plastic or fabric, but I think if the internals got rusted the gate would fail to operate.

I used this gate at the top of a stairway, with the one side attached to the wall and the opening side overlapping the bannister and a divider on the other side of the stairway opening. Unable to visualize your setup, though, I can't answer that question.

Also ...the gate is in 3 sections that don't bend except where the arms are. And the door has a metal frame on the bottom. I love mine but would get something else if it was for outside use more than occasionally-AnnMarie

Absolutely. I use mine in just that way and it is perfect. That said, if you have very large dogs, say, rotties, no gate may do the job. This gate is sturdy and beautiful as well.

If you have a "city" application go for it. I am in the cocuntry and It does not serve the purpose. I have already changed the gears one time and will have to change again soon. I put down a metal strip for the gate to run up on when opening and the metal strip is contaminated by stuff in the field. This is not a heavy duty item.
