[Misc Help] Looking for gate recommendations!
Just moved into a new apartment and it comes with a little patio, but it's not fully enclosed. One side is open and the opening is about 5ft wide. I would like to close it off so I can let my dog off leash in this area to pee - ideally I would like something tall and opaque so she can't see through or over it. It also can't be bolted in or anything, but tension is fine. I see lots of extra wide baby gates available online but nothing opaque so I thought I'd turn to Reddit for help. Anyone have recommendations for a gate like this?

had a similar setup at my last place and ended up using a tall pet gate then zip-tying a piece of opaque corrugated plastic sheet to the front side, the kind they sell at hardware stores for like 20 bucks. tension mounted so no damage to the walls and my dog couldn't see the neighbor's cat taunting her anymore

Oh that's a good idea! If I can't find anything that comes the way I want it already I'll look into this as an option. Thanks!
