The Four Paws Smart Walkover Wood Pet Gate 30-44in is a walkover gate: 18 inches high, fitting openings from 30 to 44 inches wide, and designed to be stepped over rather than opened.
Key Features
- 18 inches high - a step-over barrier, not a walk-through one
- Fits openings from 30 to 44 inches wide
- Wood frame construction
- Low enough that nobody has to work a latch
Walkover Gates Suit Some Households And Not Others
- They work well for small dogs, puppies and cats, and for a doorway you pass through constantly - there is no latch to get wrong
- They do not work for anyone with a mobility problem, or for a dog that can jump 18 inches, which is most medium dogs
- Nothing stops a cat clearing it. For cats this is a suggestion rather than a barrier
Measure Before You Order
- The 30 to 44 inch figure is the width of the opening it fits, not the height of the gate. The gate itself is 18 inches tall
- Measure the opening at the height the gate will sit. Door frames are rarely square
Where A Gate Should And Should Not Go
- Never use a pressure-mounted gate at the top of a staircase. Pressure gates can be pushed out of the frame, and a gate that gives way at the top of stairs is worse than no gate at all. Hardware-mounted gates are the only safe choice there
- This is a pet gate, not a certified child safety gate. If a toddler uses the same doorway, buy a gate tested to the child standard instead
- Check the gate from your dog's side. A determined climber or a dog that can get its nose under the bottom rail will treat any gate as a puzzle rather than a barrier
Good To Know
- The previous title and description for this listing described a 30-44 inch tall gate with a door. It is an 18 inch walkover gate; 30-44 inches is the width of the opening it fits
