A retractable dog gate can be especially useful outdoors because it creates a barrier when needed without leaving a rigid panel across the walkway when open.
Check the opening first
Crafted Gates fit openings from 27.6 to 55 inches wide and are 33 inches tall. Always measure at the actual mounting points and follow the instructions supplied with the gate.
Use a fabric intended for the environment
For outdoor applications, focus on Crafted Gates options designed for indoor/outdoor performance: Milliken® and InsideOut®.
Think about exposure
Sun, moisture, dirt and frequent traffic can change the demands on a gate. Follow the fabric care guidance and inspect the gate regularly rather than assuming any outdoor product is maintenance-free.
Think about your dog
Size, jumping, scratching and persistence all matter. A pet gate should be chosen for the individual animal and used according to the product instructions.
