Best Dog Gates: Buyer’s Guide

What Size Dog Gate Should You Get?

It usually depends on two things:

• the size of your dog. The bigger the dog, usually the taller of a dog gate you want to get
• the width of the opening or space you want to block off. The bigger the opening, the wider of a dog gate you want to get.

Pressure Mounted vs Hardware/Wall Mounted vs Freestanding Dog Gates

Dog Gates can usually be installed, set up and mounted in 3 different ways:

• Pressure Mounted – the dog gate comes with little rubber mounts on the end of tension rods that you tighten to secure the dog gate into place, and untighten to release the gate. This mounting method doesn’t leave a mark 
• Hardware/Wall Mounted – the dog gate comes with hardware such as screws and fixings that secure the dog gate into the wall for a tighter and more secure mounting
• Freestanding – the dog gate stands completely by itself and is completely portable

Walk Through vs Swing Open vs Step Over Dog Gates

There’s usually 3 ways you can pass through or over a dog gate whilst still blocking your dog from passing:

• Walk Through – the dog gate has a door built in with a simple lock. You pass through the door and close/lock it when you’re through it
• Swing Open – the entire gate barrier can be lifted off the hinges mounted on the walls and swung open and shut
• Step Over – usually smaller gates for small dogs. You can completely step over these gates because of their height whilst still blocking your dog

Materials Of Dog Gates

Dog gates are usually made of metal, but can also be made of wood, plastic and composite materials.

A Few Things To Be Aware Of When Buying A Pet/Baby Gate

• Make sure you measure the size of the opening you want to install the gate into, and check what size opening the gate is suitable for
• Make sure the gate is tall enough for pets you want to keep contained
• Check the age of child the gate is designed for
• Check if the gate meets any safety regulations and standards
