Frequently asked questions

How tall is this gate compared to standard retractable gates?

It stands 42 inches tall, which is noticeably taller than most standard retractable mesh gates, making it a better fit for dogs that can reach or climb over shorter barriers.

How wide of an opening can it cover?

It extends up to 60 inches wide, so it can handle wider doorways or stairway openings without needing an extension piece.

What are the support rods for?

The support rods run through the mesh to help keep it taut and reduce sagging across the wider span, which helps the gate hold its shape and stay effective as a barrier.
