Anyone know about baby gates?
 

I need to buy a couple to keep my beagle in the kitchen when I'm not home. He's being a bad boy.

One of my openings is 52" wide. So I'll need to buy an extra wide gate or buy a regular gate and purchase additional extensions.

My question is if I buy a regular gate, will several extensions connect together to allow me to reach my desired length? Or will the gate only allow 1 extension on either side? Some of the gates I'm finding won't be the right length even with 2 extensions (1 on either side.) So I was wondering if they connect together - like 3 at a time. Hope this makes sense.

tia!

Feom what I remember, no they wouldn't connect. The longest gates get mounted to the wall but there are expandable ones. Babies R Us probably has what you need.

Thanks!

Yeah, I've been looking at Walmart, Target, Babies R' Us, Toys R' Us, JcPenney, Sears, Petsmart, etc. lol. I'm on Amazon right now. These damn things ain't cheap!

Thanks again.

If youre serious about it I would make a couple wood extensions to fill up the space so that it'll reach. You only need a saw, nails or wood glue, and removable caulk (to make it sturdy against wall and floor, so you don't have to put any nails into your wall).

Yeah I guess that could have been an option. I found exactly what I needed at Walmart.com though. A bit pricey but I figure if I'm ever to breed myself, they'll be multifunctional.

Thanks :).

That just sounds SO wrong lol

Never needed one that big, but how about ?

Bill Gates had a baby??

Not to sound like a snot, but I want a 'pretty one' lol. I have one similar to the one you suggested blocking the doorway to the room where my cats' food and litter boxes are. I hate the damn thing because I have to step over it (it's tall) to get in the room or take it down completely. Having the swinging gates would be so much easier.................................and prettier :o.

extra wide baby gate - Google Search

There's a ton of them. Modular ones ... single gate ones ... double gate ones ...

He and his wife have had three children. Sarcasm killer!

Thanks for the pro tip! But I wasn't asking where I can find them lol.

Ah. I supplied that Google link less for WHERE to find them and more for what is available.

I'd say that you are looking specifically for a modular baby or pet gate/fence. I've seen some that extend across an entire room.

The answer to your question in the OP is: it depends on the way the manufacturer intended for them to be used. Some you can keep adding modules until it's 9' wide:

Wood Panel Pet Gates - Pet Classics™

others you can't.

Took me a little while but I think / hope I found what I need lol. Thanks :).

Just to forewarn you, he will probably learn how to climb over it. ;)

Go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope not. I have one already up blocking him from getting in the 'cat room,' where I keep their food, water and litter boxes. He goes nuts when I feed them, trying to get in there but he's never succeeded.
