North States Superyard 3 in 1 Metal Gate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We installed this product along an L shaped wall to create a play area for our 19 month old. The area is about 32 sq feet in size, and accommodates a small table with 2 chairs, and several of his toys. The installation took less than 3 hours, and that was with my 19 month old "helping". Without his "help", it would have been a couple hours at the most.
The product was fairly easy to install, just be sure to install the screws into the studs behind the drywall, or use some heavy duty drywall anchors if that is not an option. We have used this gate only for about a week now, so there's not much I can say for durability just yet. However, the first impressions are good. The product looks solidly built, and can be easily to set up to any shape or design you'd like without the need for even a screw driver (apart from the ends that are secured to the wall).
I would have given it 5 stars rather that the 4 I gave it, if it weren't for the door. The door does not swing open a full 180 degrees, it only opens 90 degrees. My son have already started pushing on the open door, and I suspect that it is only a matter of time before it will either break off or come apart. Then again, I could be wrong, and it might be sturdy enough to survive the abuse; only time will tell.
[Update on 05/14/08] After several months of use, my (positive) opinion of this product has not changed. In addition, my worries about the door have so far been unfounded. The door has survived the abuse from my son without any problems. At this point I would gladly rate this product with 5 stars, unfortunately it does not look like there is a way for me to update my initial rating.

For households with little ones and pets, the North States Superyard Metal 3 in 1 is the perfect combination of portable play yard and safety barrier. Constructed with a strong powder-coated metal, the gate can be used to create an enclosed recreation area or it can be set-up as a barrier to block off potentially unsafe areas. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the durable gate is easily set-up in under a minute.
A Safe and Sturdy Indoor-Outdoor Play YardWhether you need a temporary play space for your children or small pets or a reliable barricade for potentially unsafe areas such as fireplaces and stairs, the Metal 3 in 1 Superyard is up to the task. This play yard's sturdy structure allows you to rely on it as a safe space for both infants and small pets, so you can multitask or relax while they play.
For added security, the play yard's one swinging walk-thru panel is built with a child-proof double-locking system. This proprietary safety feature allows you to easily enter and exit the play yard while keeping you assured that your little one can't escape without your assistance.
Flexible Design Enables Multiple UsesUnique for its sheer versatility, this play yard includes six metal panels that can be set up in a wide variety of configurations. Weighing 43 pounds, the structure is solid enough that it won't tip or lean and lightweight enough to be moved from room to room. Set it on carpet, tile, or even a hardwood floor -- it includes rubber pads to prevent scratching.
Capable as an enclosed gate or a barricade, its 30-inch high panels can be connected to create an ample 10 square feet of space, or they can be put together as a barrier using the included mounting hardware to extend the width up to 144 inches.
If you'd like to extend the gate's overall diameter, consider purchasing a two-panel extension kit (sold separately), which increases the play space to 19 square feet.
Easy to Assemble and AdjustSetting up the Metal 3 in 1 Superyard is hassle free. The six interlocking panels are pre-connected--simply pull the panels out of box, unfold and connect them together, and the Superyard is ready for use. To put away, simply disconnect one panel, fold together, and store. The Superyard is so easy you can set it up and take it down in under a minute. The hassle-free panels also give you quick and convenient access to your child or pet.
For example, if you want to reconfigure the panels to block off different areas at the same time, you can easily do so. Thanks to the flexibility of the Superyard's design, you can use a few panels to create an enclosure around the stove while dinner's cooking, then use another panel and the included wall-mounting hardware to create a small-scale barrier around a staircase.
To ensure 100% satisfaction with your purchase, all North States products come with a one year warranty against manufacturer's defect.
