An outdoor pet barrier has to solve two problems at once: contain the pet and handle a more demanding environment than an indoor doorway.
Measure the real opening
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.
Choose an outdoor-capable fabric
Milliken® and InsideOut® are the Crafted Gates options designed for indoor/outdoor use. InsideOut® performance fabric is designed to resist liquid, fading and mildew when properly maintained.
Consider the walkway
On a deck or patio, a rigid swinging panel can take up valuable circulation space. A retractable fabric barrier rolls away when open, helping keep the passage clear.
Match the gate to the use case
Think about pet size and behavior, traffic through the opening, exposure and mounting surfaces. Always use the product according to its instructions and inspect it regularly.
