MidWest Homes for Pets Wire Mesh Pet Safety Gate, Dog Gate Expands From 29 - 50 Inches Wide, 44 Inches Tall, Wood, Powder Coated Wire

It takes forever to be delivered .i have one already and it’s nice , one of the easiest gates to open and love the height. But like I said, I’m still waiting for the second one and they keep changing the date so if you want it, you better order it a month ahead of time.

This is a great gate. It's easy to use & I really appreciate that there are height options. It is light, sturdy & easy to use & reasonably priced. Most importantly, it works perfectly. (Sadly, they are apparently out of the 32-inch option, but I hope to see it back soon because I need another one!)

I’ve had this product for over 2 years now and it’s great for cats! My cats had the habit of jumping over any gate I put, but with this one it all stopped. It’s too high for them to jump and it’s pretty easy to set up. My dog never pushes it open and respects it, however it’s not going to hold up if you have a large dog. I would say it’s sturdy but over time it becomes flimsy.

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.

This product is good but mine came with a stripped screw. I'm going to try to fix it with glue but for $50 it should be perfect. It's just a gate not made of gold!

Got a couple cats that like chewing through certain types of power cables so we gotta keep 'em out of the gaming room with the computers, consoles, and all that jazz. this gate has worked perfectly. one tried and it worked perfectly as he couldn't make it over. we also keep a spray bottle to enforce the idea when they are looking at it comes out of the box ready to go, you just choose the groove on the wood crossbar that determines the width then you wiggle it into the door frame definitely more of a pain than opening/closing a door but it sucked never being able to leave the door open. This has solved that completely. it is kinda sturdy but can't really bear any weight and the wood crossbar is pretty fragile. This thing has no security features whatsoever. It's just a gate good enough to stop small pets. Had to train the family to be gentle with it when wiggling it in and out of the door each time it's the height that closed the deal for me, it is the tallest gate I could find on amazon that was flexible and easy to move

I like this one because it's like the older style of baby gate that you don't have to attach anything to the wall to use. perfect for post surgical care to keep dog from stairs.

No complaints at all

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.

Ich finde das Gitter gut gemacht. Für jeden Zweck Absperrung geeignet. Nur im Türrahmen passt es nicht. Hätte besser messen müssen;-)

Bad quality

Excellent- wish I'd bought this a long time ago. Allows us to contain our dogs in a smaller area when needed without shutting them away in another room entirely. They feel calmer being able to still see what's going on. A well made pet gate, and will be handy for keeping visiting grandbabies off the stairs, too.
