Perma Child Safety Indoor/Outdoor Retractable Baby Gate 41" Tall, Extends To 71" Wide, Gray

Me encanto, tal como en la foto y las especificaciones, rápido envio

Update: in less than a week the cats figured out how to slide underneath, and when they jumped on the gate the entire thing fell off the wall. Changing rating to 1 star.Original review: The reviews critical of this gate's sturdiness are accurate. It is essentially a window roller shade on its side. The gate fabric is a vinyl mesh that would not stand up for long to frequent clawing by cats or dogs.This gate should never be used for children of any size without constant supervision. I believe that if a toddler fell against it the gate could collapse, especially if it is installed into wall board and not a wood door frame. For that reason the gate should never be used at the top of a staircase, a porch drop off, etc.The gate I received requires two hands to close. Since I have it across a wide opening I have to grab the fabric and pull out extra length (similar to many car seat belts) to get enough slack to secure it. When pulling on the gate fabric, the entire thing has come off the wall hooks.So why have I given the gate three stars and not one? Because for some situations it is ideal: when you have a large opening; when you are keeping the gate closed most of the time or open most of the time; when your pets are small and not escape artists; when you need a bit of a visual barrier without stopping airflow. I'm using it to separate elderly cats who are getting to know each other, and to keep a small senior dog away from cat food.There are two entrances to the room, so blocking one entrance with the gate continually is not a hardship. If I had to open and close this gate a few times a day it would drive me nuts.I am using it across a double door opening over 55" across. When closed, the gate is completely out of the way. The 41" height is ample to discourage small animals from jumping over it.The multiple mounting options are great; I have one side of the gate inside the door frame, the other on the outside of the door frame. I installed it that way because the hook side, when installed inside the door frame, has an opening big enough to put my hand through. Installing both sides outside a door frame definitely makes the gate more secure.I bought it in the gray color (it was the cheapest), which is moderately see-through. The darker the fabric, the more see-through it is (consider window screens, which are usually black). For less see-through, use the white.It was extremely difficult to get the screws into a wood door frame even though I drilled pilot holes. To avoid stripping the screws I had to use a hand screwdriver. I bought "better" wood screws at a hardware store but they were essentially the same as those that came with the gate. On the plus side, the gate's paper guides were extremely helpful in mounting the hardware correctly.If you are occasionally visited by a baby or small child this gate would work to keep them out of rooms with hazardous contents, but only if the child is under constant supervision. Every small child I've known would outwit or demolish this gate in a few minutes.

In my quest for a reliable and versatile baby gate, I stumbled upon the Perma Child Safety Retractable Baby Gate, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for ensuring the safety of my little one. With its 41-inch height and 71-inch width, this gate offers ample coverage for stairs.Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and functionality of this baby gate.However, there is one minor issue that I've encountered during my use of the gate. Occasionally, the mesh will fold itself during retraction, causing a slight inconvenience. While this doesn't happen frequently, it's something to be mindful of, especially when operating the gate in a hurry

I knew it was a gamble, since this is not rated for larger dogs, but mine aren't the kind who challenge barriers, so I set it up in a large entryway to keep my dogs upstairs in the A/C when the temps were in the 105F+ range outside. I also have a cat who is afraid of the dogs (although they really don't care one way or the other about the cat), so I didn't want her to be freaked out by dogs running amuck all over the house. I have four dogs, two of whom are about 60 pound labs. No sense of personal space, so lots of brushing against the barrier as they played and such, but no real challenging.Super easy to install, especially since it comes with the templates that help you to line up the holes correctly. My only complaint is that it is a little awkward to use in larger openings, because you have to twist a knob on one side while you pull the other side. It would be nice if the mechanism to allow it to expand were an on/off knob, rather than something you have to consistently apply pressure to use, something similar to the mechanism on tape measures. If you have an area that is shorter than your arm span, that should not be an issue. Also, for the inline installation, you have to bend the screen a bit to get it to snap into place, so that adds to the awkwardness while you are trying to keep the tension off.Also, if you have baseboards, you might have to adjust the screen slightly. Happily, mine fit right on the baseboard on the anchor side of the screen, where you don't really have any choice, as the anchor side slides into the brackets. I had to install the bottom anchor on a baseboard, but the kit gives you spacers to bring the top anchor to the same level. It took three for me. The other side gives you a little wiggle room, so if the template doesn't work (mine showed the bottom "handle" being half on and half off the baseboard), you can lower it a bit to make it work.Once in place, it feels very sturdy. My dogs sniffed it and tested it with a bit of a push of the nose, then gave up on it. If you have a wrecking ball of a dog, or an aggressive chewer, YMMV, but it did exactly what I wanted it to do, so I am very happy with it. One of my dogs is going in for knee surgery in a few days, so I will likely employ it again to keep her upstairs while she heals, again keeping the cat happier.

I have recently adopted a pit bull and wanted to keep her in the living room and thought this would be perfect! I love how it tucks away super easy and the color is perfect too! It is very sturdy even with her jumping on it. The only down fall was trying to line it up perfectly and the extender pieces that it comes with the holes were off from where they needed to line up. It took me about 30 minutes to get it perfect, keep in mind I had to accommodate for the thing carpet too. Absolutely love, want to buy more for the front porch!
