Doing exactly what we hoped it would! We have two dogs-- 95lbs and 65lbs-- and we wanted to keep them out of a certain part of our yard where they were barking at people going by. Although they can still see through/above it, it has successfully kept them out and quiet. The first night, our bigger dog did accidentally run through it (it was dark out and had probably forgotten it was there), and the stake did bend where he went through. But the stake was easy to repair, and he hasn't tried to run through it since. We added zip ties to secure the end pieces to our actual fence and house, which makes me feel more confident about stability.Installation was quick and easy (2 people recommended- one to guide the stake and the other to hammer), and the look and function of the fence is great! The gate is really handy for when we want to pass through. As others have said, having stakes or something in the middle of the gate pieces would be nice to add some more stability, but it still stands sturdy enough as it is.
