If I install safety gates to secure a play area, will this play yard be useful at all?

I suppose it depends on the configuration of your home and your infant/toddler. We have a couple of panels protecting the entertainment center and several in front of our sliding patio door. This way, if our little one falls, hopefully no one will be harmed. We also take it outside and to relative's homes.

I think so. I would recommend using ground stakes to keep it well anchored to the ground.

Every application will vary. Installed properly, it should fit the need. The timer-lock is a great feature. We've had good luck with this gate using it at the top of stairs. Still need to keep an eye on crawlers and toddlers.

Yes, for now but my little dog was strong enough to get out of the little wired doors. My little chihuahua daschund mix is very nervous so she was frantic in there. If you secure the gates better it may work for you but don't forget, if you're not happy with it, YOU'll have to pay return postage which was going to cost me 60.00, Unless you by direct from Amazon

I think it ought to work. However, speaking from other experience I think you could do it simpler. Just use plastic standoffs like I used to use for my electric fence for horses and such. If there was interference from the fence just go higher with pieces of plastic pipe.

I'm not a contractor. I would have to say yes. We have two of these on swing open gates made from old baby cribs into gates in the infant room at the daycare. One more in the toddler room on a regular wooden gate and I would highly recommend it. It is very well made and is holding up very well with an extreme amount of use. Good luck

That's a hard question to answer. We didn't use the gate much. We usually just stepped over the playard or reached over it, because it was sometimes a small hassle to open and close when we are juggling our twins. I don't think that's the fault of the manufacturer. To stay closed and locked in position, it had to be that way. We tested several gates, and they were all about the same in functionality.

Sure. We keep ours outside.. Under overhang of our backporch & unplug after use.. Barring natural disaster my 12 year old, ten year old & 5 year old play hard daily & it upholds & folds to make the wife happy. Its a safe purchase for u. U can trust me. My kids push toys to thr max.. Just keep unplugged when not in use. & you will need a partner to assemble without frustration as its too big for solo put together. We did it & i am far from mechanical

I've installed 2 of these for clients and if they are installed tightly they will add an extra measure of security as well as child-proofing. Both clients are very happy with them. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

Most likely. You would be best to attach to pickets or fence frames top and bottom.

I would also use an external door just to be safe. But I highly recommend the trainer! So glad I got it! You can throw it over a tree outside.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

It is and for two the extensions will be more room. I like mine the only problem I have with this play yard is when my 9 month old started pulling up on the sides sometimes she would slip and her arm would get stuck in between the slats. She never really got hurt but, but I was worried she was going to twist it the wrong way.

I don't think it would work as you need a solid surface such as a wall to put the hook part of the ladder against in order for it to function safely, and the wrought iron gate is probably not solid.

I would think that it would. It really is more about the mechanics of the gate on its hinges. If it opens and closes easy enough, I don't see why this opener will have any problems.as for needing reinforcement with steel, that is hard to say without seeing the gate and fence. Maybe not though, if its sturdy enough as is.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

I think it can be for if you just want them to play for a little bit. I would still keep a close eye on them and get carabiners to help keep from having them open the gate.
