DIY gate's protection

We have a small courtyard and our two cats love it. But they are cats and, of course, they can escape anytime. We needed to build a nice gate's protection.
As you can see in the before photo, these protection was not very nice. Our town is very windy and these kind of straw is not very strong.
But I have the most creative boyfriend and he loves to work with wood, so he did this cute second gate.
Our courtyard is taking shape!
