Could you not install the safety gate? AND to stabilize it could you stake it to ground ?

I have my safety gate installed. I have kids and was an important feature. The plastic clips are pretty difficult to install even heated to soften the plastic and both mine cracked. I ended up rigging an attachment the kids can not undo and it also allows the gate to open all the way. As for staking, you could if you have u clips. Its not necessary if you put weight in the ladder. I used 2 50lb bags of white marble chips and a funnel.

we had a couple of hinges that were broke, but the manufacturer replaced those and the safety gate was installed with no problems.. and we havent had any problems with the stairs.. we actually love them and they work great.. i am not sure if you could stake it to the ground or if you would even want to.. it doesnt need it..

we were able to attach the safety gate which doesn't touch the ground. It is hinged on one side and opens up but there is no way to keep it to stay open and it takes a bit of the step room as well as it hits you because it wants to close. We are installing a hook and eye thing to it to secure it open when in use and hope that will work.

You just need to attach to the side. I don't know what built into the ground means. If it is sunken, you may not have enough side exposed to attach it.

No it won't work because it's not a pressure gate. There is nothing to hold it on by itself.

It can be, the only problem you might have is keeping tension on the poles since there won't be pegs hammered into the ground.

It has to be secured at the bottom. It comes with stakes for use on the ground. You would have to be extremely inventive to figure out a way to use it on a driveway.

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.

I don't think so. There are ledges on each side that may prevent you from doing that.

No, but you can put a piece of material under it or install it raised off the floor a fraction of an inch. You really don't have to worry about it marring your floor if it's installed properly, the main section doesn't move, the gate swings, but there's a small bar under it that doesn't move.

That was my plan, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Looking at it fully assembled I see no reason why you couldn't do that. It is very strudy and well supported that is should be completely fine being put in the ground.

They can be positioned at other angles but they will not lock in those positions. The gate will only lock in 90 or 180 degrees. When I say lock, the gate comes with a rectangular cap that sits on the joint of the gate. It may be sturdy enough if you do not "lock" the gate, but I haven't experimented with that. Or you may be able to have some lock and others at other angles.... Just an idea

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!

No, you have to stake them down into the ground. Would not work for a parking lot tail gate.

It will just need to have metal stakes in the ground and the arch put over the stakes to keep it in place. It would tip over otherwise, as would most arches if not secured.

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

No sir, not likely. They are not designed like that. It will not be stable, nor easy. Build a proper ramp.

Yes, you definetly will need to anchor it into the ground. We attached 2x4's to the bottom and cemented it into the ground. It only took a few minutes.

I am not sure. I have it staked and I know it has the square bottom-sort of a lip-for on a post. I don't think you can drive screws through it so I don't think you can secure it readily.
