We purchased this gate to keep a cat out of a room and he can clear it! Any extensions we can add to the bottom to make gate taller?

The only thing that comes to mind at this moment is if you put a piece of lumber under it to make it taller. You could always paint it. Not a great answer but at least it might work.

I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated. The tall gate - he can go over but I needed something to block off the hallway - so I got this gate and added the bug off mesh screen for door ways - I have it hanging from the ceiling and it ends about 1 foot from the floor - I keep it on the side the cat is on and the ONE time he tried to jump/climb it - he got half up way and then went oh no and fell backwards (safely landing of course!). He hasn't tried to get over it and its easy to get thru because I got the sliding glass door one that has a center opening. Its not pretty but it keeps my 4 legged kids apart from one another and safe. I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated.

I don't know of anything. The comment from another buyer to add lumber at the bottom is something that we thought of as well. We ended up being okay with the height after all as our cats were too fat to hurl their bodies over the top and they certainly were not svelte enough to squeeze through the rails! Good luck.

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.

At first we added another gate upside down and that worked. Then we purchased a screen door at lowes with spring hinges. That works really well. Larryroz

You can adjust the spacing by turning the knobs that hold the gate in place, making one side closer to the wall and the other more open. I am not sure of exactly how far you can adjust but I have one side open about 4 & 1/2 to 5 inches for my cats (12 lbs) to fit through easily. It may be able to open another 1 & 1/2 to inches +/-.

It MAY be possible expand it, if that's what you're asking. The base unit at the end can be removed and one of the panels could be used in that manner but you'd have to buy two gates. To answer the other part of your question, there is no door.

I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember. But I don't see why not-----. However, Mine was too tall for the fence I wanted it against, so I dug holes and buried it to the bottom "rung". This might work for you.

My opening was 36 1/2" and 35 1/2" at the baseboard. Worked well with the extension inserted. The 35 1/2" at the baseboard adjustment was almost all the way in on the adjustment, would only be able to go another 3/8" smaller. Very happy with the gate. We use it for our dog, the only issue is with the openings which are tapered at the top and bottom. It is possible for a pet to get their paws caught or wedged in there. I put heavy plastic ties at the top of the taper so they could not slide into the smaller opening.

I do love my gate. My cat can't get through, but I'd check the specs online. If you have a mini or teacup puppy, they may be able to squeeze through....though foubtful.

no..the bars are too close. My cat just jumps up and over....or if you have a large dog? you could raise the bottom of the gate to where the cat can crawl under..but the dog (baby?) can not..

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

I placed the gate against the trim where the door would be if it were shut so that it couldn't be knocked out of place by my 25 pound cat who jumps to try to escape. It worked great. Without the trim though I'm sure he would have knocked it over.

I don't know about any extensions. But I had the same problem. What I did was painted two 2x4's white and put them on both sides of the gate, the same height as the gate. It blends fine and works just fine for me.

I'm not sure exact measurements right now but our cats can get through them. There is something you can buy and attach to the gate to ensure nothing can get through though.

Yes it is too short that os true but add pipe to the cat and it will fit if you have any other questions just feel free to ask ^-^

I have a medium size hooded litterbox in mine. It takes up almost half the bottom. So kitty has another platform to climb on. Sorry, at work and can't measure but will do so tonight and get back to you.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

The gaps are about 2.5 inches at any given point. The widest one is slightly more, the thinnest is slightly less. So it depends how rotund or inventive Mr. Kitty is! You could maybe screw some garden wire-mesh stuff into the gate if he's a very little guy.

The gate comes with several sections, 14", 6", &, 5". Along with screw cap enders that are adjustable to provide the tensign to hold the gate in place. Depending on the size of the animal you are using it for you could make it work.

this is the tallest gate I've found, I'm sure any dog could knock it down or a cat could possibly jump it but I don't think you'll find a taller gate
