Pet gates are designed to keep pets and children safe in the home and away from potentially dangerous and harmful areas. Once installed, dog gates, pet gates, and puppy gates create an instant divide between two areas of the home. Pet gates enable you to contain a pet in a designated area, preventing them from entering other parts of the home you wish to keep free from pets, such as upstairs. They enable you to create zones where you are happy for your pet to enter and where you are not. Outdoor dog gates: these are a great way to provide a solid barrier between gardens and patios, treated with special weather-proof coating and ideal for use outdoors. They can also be used indoors, easy to assemble and screwed tightly into place so that your dog will only get through if you want it to! Dog Gates Ensure your dog is always exactly where it should be with this great range of dog gates from zooplus! Fit your gate in a strong and secure opening and ensure the surfaces are dry, solid and clean.

Indoor dog gates: whether you want to keep your dog out of the kitchen or away from new sofas, an indoor dog gate is the perfect solution, easy to assemble and with integrated two-way access.

To fit a pressure fit pet gate, simply place the stair gate in the space you wish to fill then tighten the bottom two spindles followed by the top two spindles. The gap between the wall and stair gate will then gradually close. It is worth planning the positioning of your baby safety gate well in advance of needing it. In this way, you can carry out thorough research on the type of gate that best suits the chosen location, match it to your décor even, and install it before your baby crawls. This gives family and visitors time to practice using it because it is notable that many accidents involving safety barriers are due to the user not ensuring the gate is properly closed. This is also the ideal opportunity to include any older siblings in the care of their little brother or sister by educating them on how to operate the gate safely and the importance of keeping the gate shut. Some gates have a colour indicator which shows green or red, depending on whether the gate has been shut properly – a simple feature which assists children as well as adults to operate the gate safely. Pressure fit pet gates also feature a trip bar which is perfectly acceptable if installed at the bottom of stairs but could become an additional hazard if fitted at the top. When buying a product to help keep your child out of harm’s way, Safetots believe it is worth investing in one that has been tested to a professionally approved level of safety using rigorous testing methods. We offer stylish wooden dog gates , as well as mesh and metal versions. Should your dog like to chew, a metal dog gate will provide the extra strength and resistance that a wooden dog gate may not.

Once your baby starts to become mobile, ensuring they can only crawl and toddle within safe areas of your home becomes a priority. Your inquisitive little ones will appear to have an inbuilt sat nav directing them to all the high-risk places such as kitchens and stairwells or maybe through the cat flap to explore the great outdoors!

A gap is initially required at the top of your pressure fit dog gate to enable pressure to be applied to all four spindles. Should a gap still appear at the top of your dog gate it is important to keep tightening the spindles. If a gap is still present once maximum tension is applied, then a pet gate extension may be necessary. The dog gates and dog barriers from zooplus are easy to assemble and meet every need, great for both indoor and outdoor use and the perfect way to keep your dog in its rightful place and your house in great condition!
