A little guidance
Help choosing extra wide dog gates
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
Shop extra wide dog gates: walk-through pressure gates that adjust from about 30 to 41 or 30 to 52 inches with a small pet door for cats, freestanding wooden gates that stretch from 28 to 75 inches, and wide freestanding gates around 71 inches across. This page narrows our Dog Gates range to gates for wide doorways, open-plan rooms and long hallways. Below is how to measure a wide opening, choose between pressure-mounted and freestanding designs, and pick the right height.
Measuring a wide opening
Measure the opening at floor level and at the height the top of the gate will sit, since walls are not always parallel. Note any baseboards, which reduce the space for pressure mounts. Choose a gate whose adjustable range puts your measurement comfortably inside the limits, not at the very end.
For openings wider than one gate, many pressure gates take extension panels, and freestanding gates fold to fit. Open-plan rooms that are wider than any gate are better closed with a freestanding gate or play-yard style panels.
Walk-through pressure gates
Walk-through gates mount with pressure against the walls or door frame, so there is no drilling, and have a door you open with one hand. Many here include a smaller pet door at the bottom, so a cat can pass while the dog stays on the other side, which is useful for keeping a dog out of the cat's food and litter box.
Pressure gates are not for the top of stairs, where a dog or person leaning on the gate could push it out. For stairs, use a hardware-mounted gate screwed to the wall.
Freestanding wide gates
Freestanding wooden gates stand on support feet and fold in sections, zigzagging across wide spaces from about 28 to 75 inches. They need no mounting, move easily from room to room and look more like furniture than a baby gate. They suit calm dogs and small breeds.
Because nothing holds them in place, a large dog that leans or jumps on a freestanding gate can push it over. For big or determined dogs, choose a pressure or hardware-mounted gate instead.
Choosing the height
Most gates here are around 27 to 30 inches tall, which keeps small and medium dogs contained and stops most dogs who do not jump. Large dogs and athletic breeds may clear a 30-inch gate, so look at taller models or a gate with a top bar they cannot use to climb.
Watch your dog with the new gate in the first week. A dog that tests it by jumping, climbing or chewing needs a taller or sturdier option, and some training to teach it to wait calmly behind the barrier.
Using gates for training and safety
Gates are a training tool as well as a barrier. They keep a new puppy in a safe, puppy-proofed area, give a nervous dog a quiet space away from visitors, and separate pets at mealtimes.
Make the gated area pleasant, with a bed, water and a chew toy, and reward calm behavior on the other side. Check pressure gates regularly, since tension can loosen over time, and inspect wooden gates for chewed edges.
How wide can a dog gate go?
Pressure gates here adjust up to about 41 or 52 inches, and freestanding gates stretch to about 75 inches. Extension panels or folding sections cover wider spaces.
Can I use a pressure-mounted gate at the top of stairs?
No. Pressure gates can be pushed out under force, which is dangerous at the top of a staircase. Use a hardware-mounted gate screwed securely into the wall or banister at the top of stairs.
Do freestanding gates work for large dogs?
They suit calm and small dogs. A large dog that leans or jumps can push one over, so choose a mounted gate for big or determined dogs.
What height dog gate do I need?
Around 27 to 30 inches works for most small and medium dogs. Large or athletic dogs may need a taller gate if they jump, and some training to wait calmly behind it.
Can cats get through a dog gate?
Gates with a small pet door let a cat pass while keeping a larger dog out, which is handy for protecting the cat's food and litter box.
