Wide Dog Gates

Wide dog gates are perhaps the best choice for restricting your dog in an open floor plan. All of us love having our dogs inside our homes but it is not always feasible to let them move freely in all corners of the house.

Restricting them by using dog gates is a traditional method to both train as well as keep them out of trouble. However, if you have an open home design that has very few doorways, then a regular dog gate will be of no use and you will have to invest in a wider one to ensure complete barricading.

The best thing about wide dog gates, if you buy a product with panels, is that being light in weight and highly portable, these gates can be easily dismantled and taken to a different location. Moreover, they fold into a compact size, which makes it easy to store them when they are not in use. Although, you can also choose to buy a product that comes as a single unit, the panel design is much more popular with dog owners.

Wide gates can be hardware mounted, pressure mounted, or even free standing with clips on the bottom to ensure that they stays firmly on the ground. Like all other dog gates, these gates also come in a variety of material ranging from wood to steel, with or without mesh, and you can choose an appropriate product based on your requirements.

Finally, these gates usually have a walk thru gate fitted in the center or on the side, so that you are able to move around the house without having to jump over the gate. Moreover, most of the wide dog gates also have a self locking system, which means that you do not have to worry about the door being left open.
