Extra Wide Pet Gate  

Pet gates are an excellent way to contain your pet in a particular area or room without having to close the room, thereby preventing separation anxiety in your pets. They are also great for protecting your pet from venturing into potentially dangerous places when you are not home and to keep them contained till they are house trained. However, standard sized pet gates are made to fit standard openings and if the layout of your home is such that none of the standard gates will fit then you have to go for an extra wide pet gate.

Extra wide pet gates are especially designed to fit large and irregular openings. They are made to fit openings up to about 60 or even 70 inches in width. Some extra wide gates also have extra height, up to about 4 feet, to contain tall pets.

Most extra wide pet gates are equipped with a walk through gate which provides easy access for pet owners. This walk through option is very useful as you don’t have to remove the whole ensemble to move through them or jump over them which can be quite challenging even with smaller pet gates.

Some extra wide gates are also fitted with a small additional walk through space at the bottom of the gate for your smaller pets, if you have one, to pass through.

Extra wide gates for pets are available in various types to suit your requirements. If you are looking for a sturdy extra wide pet gate to fit wide stairs then a hardware mounted type is your best option. For less hazardous areas like between rooms, a pressure mounted or a free standing extra wide gate are sufficient to provide a secure barrier to contain your pets in a particular area.

Some extra wide gates are made of multiple panels that can be adjusted to fit any width. They are also perfect for irregular openings or to section off any particular area of your living space. These types of extra wide pet gates can be folded for easy storage when not in use.

Do some homework before looking for an extra wide pet gate, like the purpose of the gate, taking the exact measurement of where you want to place them, the type of material you prefer and what additional features you would like to have. This will help you to choose the right pet gate without any unnecessary hassles.
