: Finally found the gates...
: fullsizetrucks March 25, 2007, 01:55:25 AM
Awhile back I had an issue with finding gates big enough to fit my doorways so that I could keep my crew in the dining room and avoid the torn up mess that results in giving them free reign of the house when I am not home.  I searched high and low, and finally found 1 petsmart in all of the Hampton Roads area that carried them. 
Here are some pictures, and thank you all again for the advise that you gave!

They turned out to pretty sturdy, but the crew seem to respect them enough not to try anything.  Our biggest problem comes when they try to go thru the door 2 at a time!  Doesn't work too well for the big butts! ::)

I have it spanning a 56 inch area, and that is useing the main section, and two 12 inch extensions.  They come with a 6 and 12 inch extension, but since I didn't need it for the stair, I was able to move them around and make it work.

And yes, that is a "small animal" door.  I have to leave them shut most of the time, other wise Dodge puts his head thru it, and I have had visions of him going into a panic and running around the house with a gate around his neck!  Its neat, but I just let the cat jump over the gates. 

Our lives are alot cleaner around here now!!!  Best investment I ever made!!!
