We want to use it to block our dogs off in the kitchen when we go out. Can it be easily taken down &amp; put back up?

Yes, it's easy, but we used the wall anchors for more stability (our dogs are large and enthusiastic) and we find it's easier to just leave them up all the time. They're reasonably attractive and the gates are easy to operate, plus this allows us to quickly and easily kick the dogs out of the kitchen if they're being pests!

It does not take much to set it off. I would think a dog could do it. Good luck

This ramp may be a bit unwieldy for that when it comes to folding it up and getting it out of the way, depending on how much space you have. Also, if you have a very stubborn pet, it may still jump up on or down from the bed even if the ramp is in place. My dog is in recovering from ACL surgery, and she is at the point now where my husband and I have to stand alongside the ramp on either side and encourage our dog to use it or she tries to jump into and out of the car on her own. Dangerous.

Yes they can. They have a small pole that attaches them that easily pulls out. I pull it out and move the one panel in front of a door way to block my dog from going into the rest of the house. And then I can easily just slide it right back in place.

No it won't go off easily and it last a long time. I have scared a few dogs away. Works great and loud.

sorry haven't tried to remove it. I would think from putting it up it wouldn't be too hard, but not sure. Sorry

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

It is incredibly loud and I was afraid it was starting to damage our kitchen cabinets as our dog likes to really whack it around. I may bring it out again by putting a cover on it like someone suggested, but for now it's been put away.

probably (if you want to go to the trouble of unscrewing it from your door frame. But it is hardly noticeable when it's closed so you wouldn't really need to take it down.

yes, it is good to keep your dog in a certain area, or if you have company or puppies. I think it would get rusty very fast if used outside. also if you need to keep the dog off the furniture when you are away, you can open it up and use it as a fenced area to keep the dog away from the furniture. it comes apart very easily and put back together easily and in different shapes

We leave ours up constantly. But a caveat. It is a low use door. Dog goes through to stoop multiple times a day and I join periodically. But we use another route for major human comings and goings. Although worst that happens if big bodies barge through the screen door is that pressure bar at top slips and has to be repositioned. For us it's been wonderful. Dog who can't walk far can be outside all day in air she loves and we're protected from bugs.

Yes! My husband and I put ours together in our living room. It could be taken down very easily. Love it! P.S. I'd forgotten that instead of using the stabilizers that came with it, we slid the legs over square fence posts and secured them with one screw. This made it much more stable in the ground but still very easy to pull up.

If you didn't want the door, it could be removed and put back on later. I do that when I clean it. Hope this helps!

I checked with my son who owns this. He said it can be easily taken off. Must be design.

This is not attached to the outside wall. It's very firmly attached to the inside of the house. There's no way anyone could rip this out from the outside without taking down the whole wall. Furthermore, if you're considering this size door, I'm guessing you have a good size dog who would not likely sit idly by and let someone take the house apart. I have 2 dogs (40 and 50 lbs) and believe me they would not tolerate anyone coming near the doggie door. Also, in terms of security, the door panel that prevents anyone (or any animal) from coming through the door is located on the inside and locks in place with a bolt all the way through the inside wall.

Definitely not. I wouldn't leave it out if it was exposed to rain or even regular amounts of sun. Easily remove from two hooks (you buy at home depot for $1-2) in a few seconds. Note: put this an extra 6-12 inches high, as it streaches after a little use. It's a good deal.

It is relatively easy to put together, so it would be relatively easy to take down. If you are getting this to do with shows I would reevaluate your decision though. Mine Is just in a corner in my house so it just stays right there and I got it because you can spin the racks around to get your hats.
