Before I got this one I got the Pet Net Barrier which was a complete joke. The next day I threw it out and bought this one. It went in much easier and is way more durable. It keeps my dogs in the back no problem. I only gave it 4 stars because it does have plastic clips that hold the bars in place, and if my dogs are rambunctious enough I fear they will jump on the bars and they'll snap, but they haven't so far. Very glad I bought this!
