Question 1

How thick and sturdy is the plastic netting? I have a puppy that is destroying everything and I was wondering if he will be able to chew through it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, an aggressive chewing puppy will definitely chew through it. Also, the quality is less than impressive. The posts are doweled but not glued and they come out easily leaving the netting out of the channel it is originally set in. I'm less than thrilled with this gate. It was what I was expecting, but not the quality I was expecting. My puppy is a chewer, but very respectful of barriers so he doesn't try to chew the gate.

Question 2

Can a Kitten climb up by clawing into the gate?

Accepted Answer

I foster cats and kittens and have used these gates to separate cats and kittens. Up until probably 6 weeks old they won't climb them. After about 6 weeks then yes they can climb them, but if you use more than 1 they can't. I normally have 3 stacked one above the other and angle them progressively in towards the cat or kitten so when the cat or kitten looks up and starts to climb they do not see a top to go over and stop. This will normally prevent most except the most persistent cat from climbing over them.

Question 3

I have an opening that is 41.5 inches. Is the gate still strong at this width?

Accepted Answer

I have a 50-lb boxer mix that is quite strong and active. I do have two of these gates to keep her out of certain areas in the house. Both openings are 42-inches wide; the gates are quite sturdy at that extended width. She has not moved the gates since I erected these over a year ago. However, I must say that she seems to understand that the other side of the gate is the "no-dog-zone", because I think she could easily leap over the gate if she wanted to. I have been very please with the quality and appearance of these gates, and with my dog's behavior.

Question 4

Will this fit a 27" doorway?  The product description says 27"in doorway in one place, but 28" in another.

Accepted Answer

I tested and fited 28'' and up
