It's good that the opening is wider, but not so wide that the gate gets heavy to pick up and move. Is the wider opening intended for simultaneous two-way traffic?

Having done a {very modest} amount of gate-keeping, it always seemed to me there were a lot of steps to open and shut, and in the rush one step always got mixed up. A two-step pick up gate hang on side*, then drop floor is simpler -- in theory at least .

* Hmm, does the gate hang on the side? It looks like the hooks are the same, but the pipe in the middle would be in the way.

And that "T" pipe sticking out looks like a major hook.

Okay, that's enough of armchair criticism. I'm sure the sub-committee in charge of gate design has it all well in hand.

Heh -- they didn't even take the price stickers off the pipes! Proof it came from the store!
