I started out with 5 of these mesh gates on my goat farm, 4 twelve footers and 1 ten footer. The gates that don't get used are holding up well but the ones that are used are failing within a year. Between the dogs jumping thru the top section and the goats standing on them and first thing to go are the welds that hold the mesh panel on. It's not welded very well in the first place, just tack welded. Then the welds holding the frame come undone and yesterday my pig finished it off. It's too thin of a metal (they don't tell you what gauge the frame is made of) to try to re-weld so as they fail I replace them with another type of gate.
These gates would work great with smaller types of livestock like chickens and pygmy goats but don't climb your gate. You will be replacing it.
