This is because we carry a wide variety of dog gates that have been designed for a particular need. With that in mind, choosing the proper product is of the utmost importance. Ask yourself, what type of space are you looking to enclose? A wide gate is better for enclosing a large opening, like a wide hallway or a child’s play space. Pressure mounted gates can be installed nearly anywhere, while hardware gates require the right type of malleable surface.


• Check how wide the opening is. Measure the width of the space the dog gate will mostly be utilized in.


• Most of our dog gates provide the widths and heights in inches, so measure the dimension of your space in inches prior to ordering to get the best fit. Also, determine the height of the dog and double it to find the desired height, which will prevent the dog from being able to jump over the gate.
