Pros & cons
Pros
- northstatesind.com model 5402 PDP 2026-09-07: $59.99. Freestanding. Width 21"–60". Height 23". Gray washed wood frame with graphite wire panels. Versa-lock pivot hinges for Z/U/straight angles. Padded non-slip support feet. Folds after removing feet.
- MyPet pet barrier — no hardware or pressure mounting required. Made for extra-wide openings. PDP states ideal for small-breed dogs at 23" height.
- Renter-friendly: no wall holes when used as directed.
Cons
- 23" is short — jumpers and many medium/large dogs will clear it. Maker positions it for small breeds.
- Freestanding gates can be pushed or tipped by a determined puppy; not a stair solution.
- Made in China (PDP). No walk-through door — you lift or reconfigure to pass.
