About the door openings. I plan to put this on my deck which is 12 x 18. It looks like the doors are on the 12 foot side. Can they be switched?

Looks like you already have the answer to your question I'll add this, buying this shelter was a great choice. I've had two or three before this but nothing has come close to this product

The shelter is a perfect hexagon so all sides are equal... the screen unzips for the "doors" front and back of hexagon.

Our tent is not up now, but my best recollection is that the doorway can be either at the front or directly in the back, not along the sides. It is a good tent and serves us well. But if you need a side door opening, it may not work for you.

you can place the opening where you choose, the screening is all one piece that hooks on the inside. For the money this is a great item and I use it every summer. Keeps the bugs out and a very nice durable quality and well made.

There is no 12 foot side. The description is somewhat misleading. The shape of the shelter is a hexagon so it is symmetrical. They get the 12' measurement going pole to pole and the 10' measurement going flat to flat. The screen attaches to the too after setup and the doors are meant to line up on the flats. So, your opposing doors will always be situated 10' across from each other.

The canopy is a hexagon---each side is the same dimension. The doors can be put on any two opposite walls of the canopy.

There are two doors, so you can't go wrong! Enjoy it - very well made, and 1 bit of advise - use the tie downs that come with it - we used it on the deck, and tied it down to the railings. Stood up to very strong winds, 20-25 MPH. When you get up to the 30MPH, you need to take it down, but it is so easy to do it, there's no real problem. We use it 9 months a year, only coming down for the winter when heavy snow comes. Hope this helps!

Lois, re your last question ..."perfect hexagon"...Good question...I don't know the answer, but it's big. We put a small fire pit in the center and could get 6 adults in easy - more if we used smaller chairs. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can put the entrance on either side. When you put it together, just place opening on the side you want.

There is a 'fixed' insert that takes the opening (door width) down to 1 3/4 inches. I used two 'ice cream sticks' as shims to make up the difference and they work great.

You would have to contact Patio Mate directly. It is advertised as having just the one door and it may be a structural issue with the 8-panel model.

We have a porch opening at the top of our steps that is almost exactly 48" between square upright posts. The gate fits perfectly without the use of the extra panel, which we have stored for any possible future use in another potential future application. As to "in-between" widths, I cannot say, as we had no need to try them.

the gate measures about 28 1/2" then you will need th right extentions. You can put the extentions on either side. the actual opening is around 20" they will adjust up to around 2" just dot go to large for your opening because it will ajust out 2" on each side

The cabinets I installed them in are 20 1/2" opening and there is about 1/4" on one side to play with. Make sure the cabinet door does not interfere with the open space.

Hi Amy, Unfortunately, no the door cannot be switched to open in the other direction.

The gate is too wide for a regular staircase. I had to put a small bench in front of it to keep the gate upright. It is good for doorways and decks.

The smaller area can be switched. Just follow the directions EXACTLY. They give you each version.The dimensions are on the product listing and fits flush to the wall since it has smartly allowed for floor board room.

I think I expanded mine to 72in, it comes in 4 pieces (5 with the door gate). I dont see why not? I think you can use any amount of pieces you want. I had to use all 4. You can adjust all of them. So im almost positive it should work for you.

The side panels are interchangeable. I built mine with the entrance opposite of the one pictured. It works great. It is a nice unit. Good luck.

The door height is 80" maximum with a spring held feature that allows adjustment down to about 77-5/8". I think cutting it to make it shorter would compromise its structure. You would be better off finding a shorter door.

My hips are quite wide and I can get through. You can always go through by turning a bit to the side. I think a wider gate door wouldn't have enough stablity for a standard doorway sized opening. The side panels would be quite slim, but they are the ones the hold the pressure.

Yes, the door is on the 8' side and cannot be switched because of the hole in the floor holding the anchor door

The door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

Hi, I also have a 61" opening and 3 shelties. To change the angle of the side panels you need to lift straight up (hold the center piece down) and then you can change the angle for a secure fit. I have mine set up so that the side pieces angle in toward the room where I confine the dogs. I've had mine for several months. My only complaint is that one of the feet (which is perpendicular to the gate) kept getting accidentally kicked as people would turn the corner (it broke the first week). It does a good job confining my shelties and the wood looks nice in our home.
