Question 1

can you put two of them together to make a bigger play area?

Accepted Answer

You used to be able to do it. However they have changed the design of the connectors making it impossible to do so. I just received one, which had a broken connector right out of the box. I have purchased 6 of these over the years and they were wonderful because I could configure it to suit my needs. And if a connector was broken by a very determined dog, I usually had extra connectors on hand from having replaced the gates previously. This can no longer be done. I’m very unhappy with this change. Unfortunately no one else makes a gate large enough. Not sure how I’m going to remedy this situation. 😡

Question 2

will it handle chilren shaking the fence

Accepted Answer

My son jumps up and down trying to shake the fence when he has temper tantrums.  It holds up just fine.  That said, ours is cable-tied down to rubber mats (link below).  I highly recommend this solution, as in addition to shaking, many kids try to move the walls of these things and can move the entire pen around the room.  The mats are also good for softening falls and barf clean up.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TU3ZZU/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Question 3

If setting it up like the picture shown with the fire place, is there another way to mount it besides it being permanent?

Accepted Answer

We use the "Baby" Gate for our two standard poodles. We have not mounted it to the walls; instead, we use it as a stand alone fence to temporarily block off certain areas. We have it set up now as a kind of playpen for our 5 month old puppy to keep her confined while housebreaking and to keep her from eating our other dog's food at meal times. It works perfectly. We've been using it now for almost two years. Of course, it isn't as secure as it would be if it were attached to the walls, but we wanted something more portable to be used in various places.

Question 4

is it free standing on carpet? i want to use this as barrier gate like an arch, does this product serve its purpose?fall when pushed by kids?

Accepted Answer

It was not mounted for a couple days and I had to secure it with bins on either side.  It currently is wall mounted and I would not trust it around children.  When I push on it, it has quite a bit of give (12 inches).   I can push it and pull it which is probably putting a lot of stress on the wall screws.  The only reason I am keeping it is because I have a 20lb mostly blind dog and not an active toddler.
