“36-inch pet gate” can mean two different things: a gate around 36 inches tall or a gate for an opening around 36 inches wide. Clarifying that measurement prevents a poor fit.
If you mean 36 inches tall
Crafted Gates are 33 inches tall, not 36 inches. If a 36-inch minimum height is required for your pet or space, choose a product that meets that requirement.
If you mean a 36-inch-wide opening
A 36-inch opening falls within the Crafted Gates width range, provided the actual mounting span and installation conditions are compatible.
Crafted Gates fit openings from 27.6 to 55 inches wide and are 33 inches tall. Measure at the actual mounting points and follow the instructions supplied with the gate.
Pet behavior still matters
Height alone does not determine suitability. Consider jumping, scratching and how persistently your pet challenges barriers.
