Performance notes

The PVC mesh retractable design is built specifically to cover extra wide openings up to 80 inches without the bulk of multiple rigid panels, and the wall mount hardware keeps it anchored while still allowing it to retract flat when you want the space open.

Frequently asked questions

How wide can this gate extend?

It extends up to 80 inches wide, making it a good fit for extra wide doorways or open floor plan spaces that standard panel gates can't cover in one piece.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, it's rated for indoor or outdoor use, though like most mesh gates it will hold up best when not left in constant direct weather exposure.

Is the mesh strong enough for a dog that chews?

The PVC mesh is designed to prevent crawling under or through the gate, but a persistent chewer may wear through mesh faster than a metal panel gate would hold up.
