We're using this to keep our medium sized dog in the garage.
The gate has a walk through door.
To be able to zig-zag the width of the garage, we purchased two from Amazon's Warehouse Deals & only needed one panel from the 2nd box. We figured a zig-zag pattern would be stronger than using the gate straight across.
Hubby attached the gate to the garage frame, on the outside. It was simple to install, includes easy to understand instructions, and had no missing pieces.
When not in use, we unhook one side & fold the gate up.
The folded gate has been kept outside close to the garage where it is/was somewhat protected from the weather. We took it down & moved it inside for the winter.
I was nervous that our dog could escape by pushing the gate, so we're keeping her on a long leash too. Guess we didn't really need the gate.
She weighs about 35 lbs. Our idea might be better for a small dog. You just need to know your dog's personality to decide if this idea would work for you.

It can also be used as a play yard.
This is a versatile gate & will come in handy when our grandchildren visit. Many homes have great rooms with a huge expanse that needs to be gated. It's nice to have a gate that will cover a long/wide area. We feel that is stronger when zig-zagged.

Be sure you unscrew the top of each post before expanding to prevent ruining the plastic catches.
Bought this to keep a new puppy off carpeted areas of house until it's housebroken.
I was very surprised at how well this works. The entire fence is simply sections pieced together. There are included brackets on the end pieces to screw into a wall if required. I use this to block off a large opening to my living room. But found it was so long that I am able to extend it through the center of my front entryway thereby also blocking off the doorway to the carpet back areas of the house BUT.. it allows entry to and from the living room without having to use the gate.
The included gate portion is very simply to use.
*Note: It's so simple, any child tall enough to reach the top can open it. However, if you don't need to use the "gate" section.
HUGE fence. As in "long", not tall. It's so big and easy to dismantle, I don't need to use the other two, smaller, gates I ordered. PLUS, I was able to take a couple of sections to block off another doorway down another hall.
Very sturdy, BUT *could* be tipped over if not secured. Or if you set it up as a circular enclosure.

Here's an update on my review
I previously rated this 2 star but installed it differently this time. Used some anti skid pads to secure the bottom of the gate and this works fine. It still shakes but serves the purpose. I think I am not as disappointed in this gate as I initially thought. Raising it by 2 stars giving it 4 â­ï¸ â­ï¸ â­ï¸ â­ï¸

I was so excited when I ordered this gate as I wanted something simple to block the play area and keep my baby from entering the kitchen. I am so disappointed.

I have wood floors and this panel doesn't seems to hold itself in its place at all. my 9 mo old was able to move it from the base ( the gate is installed properly) this gate has no anti skid material at the bottom so it keeps slipping in any direction you pull it without an effort. useless on wooden floors.

The material doesn't feel sturdy enough.

Pros:
Looks simple ( unlike colorful baby gates)
Light weight
Easy to assemble
Adjustable
Cons:
Doesn't stick to its place
Doesn't work on wood floor
Might also be risky for small babies as they could completely stick their hand out and bend it unintentionally

These Regalo Play Yard's are fantastic! We have a very active and mischievous little puppy who likes to dig. We bought 3 of the 192" Play Yard's and set up sectioned off areas in our back yard--they work and look great. I'm not sure if they're really meant to be used outdoors, but so far so good. The handy gates make it easy to move through them with out having to move the entire fencing around. They are well made, versatile and attractive. They are exactly what we needed to quorum off our dog. Great product!

My 88 yr old father just moved in with me ... and with Dad came his 50lb dog. Now, I live in an apartment and I have 2 cats and I a granddaughter. This dog has, shall we say, minimal training and she's been known to nip when she feels threatened. So I kinda have my hands full with this dog.

Sadly my father and step mom adopted this dog and she would have been a project for a seasoned dog trainer.... they were definitely in over their heads with her as they are NOT dog trainers. She has always been wary of strangers and nips at their legs/etc if they turn their back on her.... bad enough with a grown adult, but if she does this with my Granddaughter or her friends, we're going to have trouble. She has almost no exposure to kids so that alone is a pretty big challenge. On top of that she's got a chase urge and hasn't been around cats in about 8 years. One of my cats is a real "scaredy cat" who hides if you look at him sideways just to complicate matters. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

When I knew I was going to have to take her on along with my father, I started researching gate options. I need something that will hold her in (thankfully she doesn't test these things though!), while allowing my father to get through with minimal struggle. His mobility is pretty compromised (he uses a Rollator) and he's a fall risk so he has to be able to get through easily. I realized I likely needed more than one gate. And I realized that until the dog was here, I really wasn't sure exactly how it would work out.

When I saw this gate/yard, I knew it was my answer to my problems. I have tons of options with this so as things (hopefully) change I can alter how we set this up. After trying multiple configurations I ended up with 4 panels at one end of the long living room to lock the dog in both when we go out (she will crap if left in a large enough space) as well as a place to put her if we have company to keep them safe while she's learning her manners. We have 3 more panels at the other end of the room to keep her in with us most of the time while allowing the cats a safe space where they can get to their litter and food. (It's ended up also being great for keeping one of my cats from escaping through my sliding door when I'm Bar-B-Quing!) The only thing I haven't used is the actual gate because my father's Rollator won't go through it, but that's ok - it may come in handy in the future. We will be moving to a house soon, so I love that I can take this with us and adapt it to the new space.

Dealing with the issue of this dog has probably caused me more stress than any other part of the move... or at least it's right up there with the more stressful parts, because I'm realistic that if she so much as nips at one of my Granddaughter's friends or even an adult that she could well be impounded and even put down. The burden of this feels bigger than the "burden" of dealing with my ailing father. So I'm really relieved that we have this in place now. It's working great! She's already learning to not chase the braver cat who comes and goes through the gap we left so he could get to the Living Room. She also seems to be ok with staying in the smaller space when we go out. I honestly couldn't have chosen a better option for my needs.

This thing is quite sturdy yet light for such a big set. There are seriously sooo many ways you can configure this thing depending on your needs. And the price, for a gate with 8 panels, is amazing. I was getting quite discouraged when I started researching for a gate because I really didn't know exactly how I would set things up and I didn't want to have to buy 4 different gates (or more) to figure out what would work.

So if you have any kind of situation where you need to separate groups of animals easily and quickly, this is your gate. If you have an awkward shaped space to cordon off, this is your gate. If you are traveling and need to have a movable pen, this is your gate. If you have someone who can't get through the standard gate that most of these things have, this is your gate. I'm going to upload photos in the next day or so to show how we have this set up for our current situation.
