I'm going to bump this up 'cuz I need a bit of help now....

I have a 48" opening I need to gate off. Target has a gate that'll expand that wide, but it's too tall to just step over. Really I need it to be 24" (or so) or less.

Fours paws makes a "Vertical Wood Slat Gate" that's 24" but expands from 53" - 96", so it's too long. They also have a "Walk Over Gate" that's 18" tall, but only goes up to 44".

I saw some people have used lattice with some success, but how do you keep it standing up? I don't want to have to bolt anything to the doorway or wall....

I want to keep it reasonably priced too. Some of those free standing gates are awesome, but they're just too expensive!

I use the Kidco Baby gates throughout my house and I love them. If you go on ebay and type in kidco baby gates you will see many different styles and prices but they are the best that I have found. What I especially like with them is that I am not stepping over them but walking through the gate and closing it after myself. Mine are all on the pressure mount system (some of them are secured to the wall but I ordered the other ones) and they have worked perfectly for me. Here is just an example.

Hmmmm.... All right, thanks Cindy. I hadn't really considered the walk through ones. I'll check it out.

One of them also pee'd on the ottoman over the weekend. Hubby was not happy I don't know what has gotten into them They are usually so well behaved, but then, too, some new doggies moved into the neighborhood...Any ideas appreciated!!

there are two options target has some gates that will expand up to 12 feet and smaller ones to also petsmart has a little plyay yard type thing it's open on the bottom but it can form like an octagon to keep them totally enclosed i would check those out you can even look at them online to!!

this one is adjustable and also very reasonably priced but it's only 40 inches..anyways, I thought you might be interested. as for the suggestion with the xpen you will need to put something against the x pen to keep it in place. After a couple of days my "monsters" figured out they could move it, got out and made a big, big, mess =)

Kelly, I will tell you why I decided to get rid of the stepover ones but it is sad. A YT members daughter bent over hers and it gave way and crashed down on her Yorkie and killed it. A very sad story. Another reason was one day my foot caught on the top when I went to step over and I fell down...luckily I was leaving the room my little one was in or I could have fallen on him with yet another sad ending.

OMG. That's so sad (and SCARY!) I have tripped over mine before, but fortunately Pixie wasn't around... You've got me sold on the walk through ones. Maybe I'll look at the ones that mount to the wall, I didn't want to do that, but at least then there's even less of a chance of it being knocked over. Now I just have to figure out who has it the cheapest...
