how do you use across the driveway? We have a large gate, but our dog can crawl under it.

Saw a line across drive and stuff wire in it. If there is a crack stuff the wire in the crack.

We dug the dirt out of one of the cuts in the driveway, placed the wire as deep as we could, then sealed it shut with driveway caulk sealer. It works like a charm.

I buried mine inside a metal pipe just under the dirt. Had to cover the pipe back up every once and awhile but I had a dirt driveway. Not sure what you are working with. If you can get the wire across, under, over the driveway, the dog should stop at the wire and not make it to the gate. The system worked well for me.

I have asphalt, so I used a circular saw with a blade for concrete. I have a wide drive so i used about four blades. You can pick them up cheep at harbor freight. Set your depth about a 1/4 inch. It will take some time as the blade liked to ride up on the depth. I used a nickle to push the wire down into the cut, then filled it in with crack sealer. It took over two hours to do but worth the time

I have the same situation . You have to loop wires in front the whole driveway .
750853
My driveway is very large so I have expansion joints like a sidewalk has. I ran the wire in the crack and then covered it with concrete silicone
750854
I used a circular saw with the proper blade to cut trench about 3/4 inch deep in the driveway. Then I laid the wire in the trench and covered the wire driveway repair/crack filler. Over the years you have to check that the crack filler is still in good shape and repair/replace as needed

Personally I would not try to use the door while this is installed. Not enough room in a normal width patio door with this in there but the biggest reason is energy efficiency. I have a burglar bar pushing the partially opened door tight against the dog door. Then I have the wide rubber insulation strip on the patio door where there is now a space because the door doesn't seal. I purchased another strip of this from a pet website for the inside part of the other door so now it's very tight and recent wind and cold showed no drafts. So with all that you would have a lot of air leakage going in and out of the door. I have another patio door to use so works great for me.

It won't work with any door that doesn't have a large enough gap between the sill and the bottom of the door. In other words, you have to sacrifice weather and bugs entering the bottom in order to get this wedge far enough under the door to stick there. Then there's the issue of the material upon which it sits. If it sits on a throw rug, the door when opening will slide the stopp back and will be of no use. If it sits on a solid but someone rough surface, it should grab that surface and work to a degree. I found it to be useless in my house, where I favor a tight fit between the door sill and the door. I returned it and bought a different device, which suits my needs. It won't work with any door that doesn't have a large enough gap between the sill and the bottom of the door.

I suggest another gate. My son figured this gate out (all 3 steps) within a week. At 2 1/2 we now only keep it up to block the dog out. My son can do all 3 steps very fast.

Make a form for the converter that is level with your driveway. The concrete will be sticking out of the ground the same 8-10 inches. Then you should backfill around your driveway so your kids don't roll an ankle or something. ;-)

On the top of the gate you need to pull the latch back and use your other hand to lift the gate up and over. The fog will not be able to open this one. I really like the gate. It's sturdy, once assembled I haven't had to to a thing. It's up and I use the gate to go in and out of the room. I found the directions a little tricky.

I have two small (5lb) dogs, when I set it up in a zig zag position they can not knock it over. Don't know about a gate, I step over it. When the dogs are elsewhere, I fold back one section for a path. Hope it work for you, I like it.

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

Hi Karen, I thought the same thing....I hooked it to the frame underneath the seat. I went as far under the seat as I could to keep the bottom portion taught so my little stinker dog couldn't sneak under and get in front. Works great, and my dog is very motivated to get in front!

This barrier was very flimsy and both dogs that I tried it with just went over it. My truck has a console between my seats so this prevents the barrier from really fitting properly. I wouldn't recommend this for bigger dogs. I THINK that what you are asking would not work with this product.

For the ramp, lay in on the ground and walk dog over it until he is used to it. If you have steps outside you can put ramp on steps to get dog used to the incline.Steps use available housing steps to get him accustomed to going up and down, then you should have no problem getting him to use steps to enter vehicle.

Hi there. I actually ended up getting rid of the gate and ordered a retractable mesh gate for our dogs. It was easy to manipulate but we did not like the look of it when open. The retractable ones are for our two pooches just enough of an impasse. Good luck.

I measured the outside edge of the wheels which measured 2 feet 10 inches across. This would be your biggest problem if your gate is not this wide. The nylon mesh is wider than this but you would be able to squeeze it through. It is not a rigid mesh - so you could put less leaves if needed. Hope this helps.

Yes. There is a slider that can be inserted which can be used to keep the dog in and out, and it will also stop people from crawling in when you are away.

I wish I could help you with this. I have the same gate and can open it and close it with one hand. Is it possible that it may not be alligned right?

It depends on how determined they are to get over the gate. We have two Cavalier spaniels the largest 24 pounds and a yellow lab who is 65 pounds and none of them even try to jump over it. I can easily step over the gate which is nice. We are using it in our basement to keep the dogs out of the laundry room. You can pick it up easily and the sides will fold in if you want to move it out of the way. We really like them and bought 2 of them. The color is much lighter than pictured though. It is very nicely made and sturdy.
