Gating off a room Good afternoon ladies and gents, I am looking to find the perfect free standing expandable gate for my living room. Basically I want my little guy to have more running around room when no one is home. I don't trust him in the living room because he likes to chew up my wires. Expanding Pet Gate - Improvements Catalog I need something with 3 feet height just like that gate, however I need it to expand to 82" so that it goes from wall to wall. Chris can easily jump over a 2 and a half foot gate so I am hoping that 36" will be perfect. The only purpose of this gate is to keep him in the hallway/kitchen area. This way he can run around like a maniac and still not cause havoc! Let me know what feedback you have. I need to reduce Chris's bunny hops else he will keep jumping higher and higher! -Justin |

We had a similar problem trying to find a gate to keep our baby in the kitchen when we're not home. We got a piece of the white plastic trellis (from a home store/lumberyard). We tried the wooden kind first but the holes in were 2" and our pup got his head stuck in it. The plastic type has 1" opening so he can't get his head in it. We place it across the doorway opening and then you can put chairs against it to hold it up. The pieces are 4' by 8' so it's too high for them to jump over. Our guy can jump pretty high but not over this. If it gets dirty just take it oustide and hose it off. Hope this helps you!! Good luck! |
Justin - it might be called lattice not trellis. Ask at a lumber type store and they will know what it is. |
Wal Mart carriers one in the baby department that has extensions to make it wider, pluse the gate swings open so you don't have to remove it all the time. I have 2 and love them, they are around $40 but worth the money. Good luck |

I have an area that is 64 inches, I bought the one you posted and it is great. I could use a wider one as well. Good luck, if you find it, please post. :) |

I am lucky in that my dogs are kept in their designated are by using adjustable window screens as gates. They are the kind you can buy and put in your windows. They will not jump over them, even the one that is only 12" high. I place them in the door openings to gate them out of the rest of the house; it gives them access to the kitchen, dining room and den. Works great. |
I could just imagine mine chewing through it... :( |
I went and bought two of the expandable gates from K-Mart. Walmart only carried the plastic ones and I knew Charlie would chew through them. They are high enough he can't jump over them. |
We actually had a screen door installed between our living room and bedroom wings to separate our merged families - one cat and one dog. It looked a little strange, but there were never any worries about anybody getting around a smaller barrier. We never were able to put Amanda and Bungee in the same room but the screen door gave us an armed truce. |
There's a really great one in the Frontgate magazine you may want to take a look at. |
Ive always just used a baby gate itself, but never needed one so big. Good luck on it. BTW - your pup is cute and it has a GREAT name :D |
I might need to just start training him not to dig into my leather couches and chew wires. That would save me a headache. I don't want to get rid of his ex-pen because he loves hiding in there and pooping/peeing in there as well. Quote:
