MidWest Homes for Pets Wire Mesh Pet Safety Gate, Dog Gate Expands From 29 - 50 Inches Wide, 32 Inches Tall, Wood, Powder Coated Wire

I needed an easy to use, moveable, small footprint, adjustable, sturdy gate. This gate checks all the boxes. My experience: 1. Moveable – This gate can fit anywhere with 27-41.5 openings. It fit my standard bedroom door frame and all the other openings I plan to use it on. I didn’t want something permanent. I also wanted something I could put just about anywhere when needed. 2. Small – When I’m not using this gate, it fits easily behind a door, out of sight. I can store this just about anywhere and it doesn’t take a lot of room. 3. Easy to Use – I knew about how wide the openings were, so I placed the notched locking bar and adjusted as needed to get a tight fit. The squeeze latch makes it easy to loosen or tighten the gate as needed. 4. Sturdy – Once the gate is fitted to the opening, the gate is sturdy. I decided to save by purchasing Used – Like New and couldn’t be happier with the savings. The gate is just like new but I saved a bit. This is a perfect non-permanent, travel friendly, and slim profile pressure mounted gate!

This gate was a STEAL at what I paid! It works perfectly in the doorway I wanted it for, and even my fence-hopping hound respects it. It's not super sturdily made compared to what I might have made myself, but it compares well to a child baby gate, just much taller with wire mesh instead of plastic. It's making having visitors much easier on my undisciplined hound girl who was a rescue and still can't get it through her head that she shouldn't jump on visitors even if the let her get away with it. Lol Now instead of being forced to crate her, she can just be in the next room and watch from the doorway with my sweet male who is perfectly behaved but scares some silly folks anyway just because he's a Pittie. My best boy is an angel who would sit quietly in the doorway to the next room without the gate, but now my girl is finally learning to do it, too!

The MidWest Homes for Pets Wire Mesh Pet Safety Gate is a game-changer for keeping my home pet-friendly while maintaining some boundaries. It's 44 inches tall, which makes it suitable for larger pets, and it expands from 29 to 50 inches wide. This gate is not only a lifesaver when it comes to keeping our furry friends in designated areas but also adds a touch of elegance to our home decor with its black wire mesh design. Installation was a breeze, and it's sturdy enough to withstand the most enthusiastic pets. The only minor gripe I have is that the latch mechanism could be a bit more user-friendly. However, the peace of mind it provides is well worth it. I'd rate it a solid 4.5 stars out of 5. It's a must-have for pet owners who want to maintain a harmonious and safe living space for everyone.

OK Quick review! I’ve been reading reviews saying this breaks the first time it’s used. It’s not a pressure-mounted gate—that may be part of why it’s failing. It’s also made from fairly cheap pine, so it isn’t built to take that kind of pressure. It uses an entirely different hanging system. Before installing it, I checked it very carefully for any splits, knots, or obvious defects—especially around the staples—where it might fail. A lot of the review photos were actually really helpful for that, so thank you to the people who posted them. That said, many of the reviews showing breakage also show the gate being used without the cups installed in the wall. IF YOU TRY TO PRESSURE MOUNT IT WITHOUT THE CUPS OR USE IT FOR LARGE OR AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS THAT WANT OUT, IT'S GOING TO FAIL. It isn’t designed like a shower curtain rod, a tension-mounted gate, or the kind of baby gates you may be used to that push outward to stay in place. The mounting system is a cup-and-disc setup. The cups attach to the wall using an adhesive pad, plus a screw through the center for reinforcement. Each cup is roughly 1 7/8 inches across and about 1/4 inch deep. The gate itself has round rubber discs fixed to the frame. Each disc is roughly 7/8 inch in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. The cups are shallower, and the discs sit down into them. So the gate is essentially hanging in place—the discs rest inside the cups—rather than being wedged outward with pressure. There are four cups on each side with matching discs on the gate. The discs look like the same kind used on pressure-mounted gates, which makes it easy to assume that’s how it works—but it isn’t. This is a hang-in-place system, not a tension system. If you’re dealing with climbers, one really smart idea I saw was adding a thin sheet of plexiglass inside the gate to block the grid. You set the gate up, measure the inside, cut a piece to fit, and then slide it in so it sits in front of the grid. As long as the grid is exposed, they will climb it, so the goal is to cover it. The grid openings are 1.5-inch squares, which makes them easy for kittens to climb, so adding something smooth like plexiglass solves that. You could probably do the same thing with cookie sheets or very thin plywood, like 1/4-inch plywood. With kittens, you don’t need to cover the entire height—just a couple of feet is enough either to stop them from getting started climbing at the bottom, or to block them once they’ve started by placing it mid-height. You can mount it a few different ways—slide it in, use removable zip ties, or hang it with S-hooks or even carabiners so you can move it up and down as needed. You could even try cookie sheets first to see if that works before cutting anything. Plexiglass makes the most sense if you're trying to introduce animals. You can usually have it cut locally at a hardware or specialty store, and have them also drill the holes for you—cutting and drilling plexiglass is a skill, and unless you’re experienced, it’s not something you want to try just for this. If you’re curious why, just look up YouTube videos of people trying to cut and drill it. Hanging it at mid-height works well for introductions because the animals can see, smell, and touch each other through the lower portion while having their climb interrupted midway by the plexiglass. I’m going to try Command strips on the cups so I can move the gate around without damaging surfaces. For context, I’m using this to keep my adult cats out of an area where I’m using oil-based primer, leveling compound, and other things I don’t want them walking through. Mine aren’t climbers—I just need to discourage them long enough for things to dry. For what it is—introducing animals or blocking off a work area—it’s the cheapest, most effective tall gate I could find. Construction-wise, it’s stapled together, so no—it’s not super robust. If you’re trying to keep a large or aggressive animal contained, this isn’t going to work—it’s not what it’s made for. The directions say NOT to use it for children, and I agree—this would be DANGEROUS (and probably ineffective) to use with a child. It’s actually designed pretty cleverly. The cup system allows it to work in spaces that aren’t perfectly plumb (not straight up and down). My walls angle slightly in a V, and this accommodates that really well. I’ll update if I run into any issues. 04-17-26 - Update - Wowzer!! The command strips are working like a charm. No holes in the 2 bookcases that make up this opening. The gate stayed up even when one tried to walk across it! I had no kitty prints in the primer!! Now I just gotta do the leveling compound!! Pro tip for install with screws or command strips - Use small post-it page markers (1/2" x 2" approx) under the discs so you know exactly where you want to place your strips/screw to hold the cups. For screws you can just mark the post-it & drill thru it. For the command strips replace the post-its with the strip

I am extremely (maybe even surprisingly) pleased with how well this is working for me. I was looking for something pressure mounting (absolutely not permanent on the wall) , not too expensive (around 60$), and tall enough to restrain my two cats (my townhome has basically no doors across 3 floors). I gotta say that this one works great. It is very easy to mount once you understand the latching mechanism, it locks sturdily and it stays in place even though my cats try to bump in it. It's both easy to open and remove once you don't need it anymore. Also, it well adapts to various widths. Cavieat: Cats will try to climb it. Whether they will succeed is not really the point. I'd be more concerned about their safety if they get a pawn stuck in the net. I wouldn't use it overnight when I am not there to keep an eye on them. I'd say that it's a great product if you need to temporarily restrain a pet while you are around.

We use this product to obligate our dogs not into certain areas of the home on an as need basis. They are slightly annoying to put up daily compared to alternative styles of locking, as they must be adjusted to the width of each doorway every time we try to set them up. There is no included way to marking what width to use each time, and everytime we take the gates down they lose their place so we have to find it again. It takes maybe 2 minutes to put up both gates we use, but that is inconvenient compared to some alternative models that take less than 30 seconds and go up with ease. The other issue we ran into is the sturdiness/durability of this product, our 30lb dog easily damaged this gate without much effort. It did not cause any damage to our dog, which was our main concern. However by simply running into the gate excitedly he punched right through one of the corners of the gate.

WOW, I really love this gate. Came perfect in the box, no problem installing, just follow the pics on the outside of the box. So easy! I had a problem with territory between 2 out of my 3 cats, and the older cat was urinating on the carpet in a section of my lower level. So, I did a thorough cleaning of the area, steam cleaned, I am also going to replace some of the worst sections as I have left over extra carpet, thankfully! Also working on the territory concerns, too. Then I was ready to install the gate. The key is the height of 44". What a difference this makes!! The problem cat, who is not so agile, cannot get over it. He just looks at it and walks away. The other 2 cats, who are agile, do not seem interested in going over the gate. It would not be the easiest gate to maneuver for a cat. The width of my hallway is 48" and this 50" gate is perfect for the area. Good tension on the gate, just don't force it. Easy to take down the gate, too. This is such a relief! I am so happy I purchased this gate. I have read other reviews saying the gate came damaged, but mine was perfect on delivery. Wood is fine, too, no weak points. I highly recommend the purchase, well worth it!!!

The gate is tall, which is nice, but overall it's much flimsier than expected. The gate closes and opens pretty rough, it's a chore to use it basically. Only bought it because it has the measurements we need, but wish the structure of it was more sound. Would not repurchase, would not recommend. *update* - This gate sits in my entryway hall right next to the door, so the door can't swing open completely (inconvenient for daily life but that's the setup for our situation). I was at home alone during the late evening and I heard my front door slowly open, but I was not anticipating my bf to be home yet. After maybe 10 seconds my door slowly closed. Called my bf to see if that was him. Nope. He was not the one who came through the door. It was dark in the hall, so disassembling a tall gate may not have been worth it whilst trying to rob a non-empty home. The height worked in my favor, as you cannot step over 44in. Would recommend.

This product did exactly what it was intended to do. And worked very well. As I was a whelping foster and I needed to separate my dogs from the whelping room and later the puppies. Although, it was great product; I failed to think that puppies chew. Yes, sadly one of my bars has been chewed. This of course is not the product’s fault. But, as my own dogs are not chewers it wasn’t something I considered in advance.

No complaints at all

I am super happy with my purchase of this "baby gate," and would 100% recommend it to other people. I bought it with the intention of using it to keep our misbehaving cat in a specific room at nighttime, so he couldn't run amok while I slept. It works perfectly and is really easy to set up with no permanent installation required, and a very simple closure mechanism that anyone can use. I can't speak to how it would help with children, but it's awesome for cats/dogs. I would absolutely buy this again! It's well-made and is, in all honestly, one of the best purchases I have ever made online!

Simple setup, make sure of your measurements before buying! Using this to keep cats out of the room and so far it’s great and sturdy.

Super produit. Je vis en appartement avec un chat. Assez facile à placer et très robuse. J'en ai mis plusieurs a mes fenêtres, je ne suis pas déçu. Attention ! Les prix varient bcp sur ce produit, faite attention au moment de l'achat
