Bettacare Expandable Pet Barrier XL, 60cm - 230cm, Natural, Wooden, Retractable Dog Safety Gate, Barrier for Puppy and Dog

Product Information

When buying a product to help keep your child out of harm’s way, Safetots believe it is worth investing in one that has been tested to a professionally approved level of safety using rigorous testing methods.

Pet gates range from 75cm to 105cm in height , which is a little taller than a standard baby gate . An extra tall pet gate is 105cm and is considered the safest dog gate option for families looking to create a safe room divide between large pets and young children. A screw fitted extra tall gate is advised for families with large, strong dogs. Screw fitted gates are strong and durable and can safely sustain the strength of larger animals. Pet gates are designed to keep pets and children safe in the home and away from potentially dangerous and harmful areas. Once installed, dog gates, pet gates, and puppy gates create an instant divide between two areas of the home. Pet gates enable you to contain a pet in a designated area, preventing them from entering other parts of the home you wish to keep free from pets, such as upstairs. They enable you to create zones where you are happy for your pet to enter and where you are not.

Dog Gates

Multi-pet gates: in a multi-pet household, there will always be territory battles! Make these a thing of the past with a great dog barrier or dog gate - we offer large barriers that have built-in smaller doors that are perfect for letting small dogs, puppies or cats through without your larger canine companies joining the crowd! A puppy gate can be a great way of training a new pup and can also be used for older dogs if there are parts of the house they are simply not allowed to enter. They can also be useful if you have children who may be a little nervous of dogs or could potentially be injured by a large animal. Here at zooplus we offer a great range of dog gates, with some made from mesh and others from sturdier, more solid material that is particularly suited to outdoor use, some even with a weatherproof coating. They also come in a great range of sizes to fit all areas - some even include a cat door, which is ideal if you have felines as well and want to allow them access into canine-free areas! Pet gates and dog gates are versatile, and you can add a dog gate extension to a standard gate to create a much wider room divide. Dog gate extensions enable you to create a suitable room divide for doorways large and small. Children’s safety barriers are designed and tested for domestic use only, being suitable for children up to the age of 24 months.

The Bettacare Expandable Pet Barrier range is screw fitted which comes in two sizes of 60cm to 108cm and 60cm to 230cm. These expandable gates are suitable for pet owners and an ideal solution to restricting pets to designated areas of the home. The barriers are made of rubber wood and come in three different colours: White, Natural or Grey. The barrier can be installed in a couple of stress free minutes and has a concertina design to make a discreet storage when not in use. The height of these gates is 83cm when used at a smaller width and 79cm when opened at a larger width, making it a perfect solution for all sizes of dogs. These gates have a one handed and retractable opening, which makes this gate easier than ever to keep your pets in line and safely contained in one area of your home. These gates can be mountable to any structurally sound surface and once in place the gates make a solid barrier to prevent access to areas of your home for adventurous pups and will withstand the impact from even the most spirited of pets. Pet gates enable you to keep your pet safe and secure. A dog gate fitted to the kitchen entrance, for example, enables you to cook safely in the kitchen without potentially tripping over your pet while you go about preparing family meals. A safety gate provides the ideal solution by creating a protective barrier between child and potential hazards, whilst still giving the space to learn through exploration of the remaining child friendly environment. They allow the adult to continue to pay attention to their child when they also need to carry out a task at the same time as supervising, by reducing the risk of harm or accident. For example, a parent can be cooking in the kitchen and singing nursery rhymes, whilst their child is joining in on the other side of the safety barrier out of reach of hot stoves, sharp knives and the odd dropped chilli pepper.Dog and puppy gates are easy to set up and are available as both pressure fit gates and screw fitted gates , depending on your requirements. They are easy to set up and provide a strong, sturdy barrier in all areas of your home. Safetots pet gates are available in a range of colours and materials, including wooden stair gates , from several reputable brands including Bettacare and Safetots’ own range of pet and dog gates. For this reason and where applicable, our products are tested to a British Standards Institution (BSI) standard and/or equivalent international standard. Each standard that our products complies with has been drawn up by a group of experts in the field. Not only do they have extensive knowledge about their product and credibility in the child safety product industry, they are also fully aware of the potential hazards posed by poor quality items being used in the home where children are involved. A gap is initially required at the top of your pressure fit dog gate to enable pressure to be applied to all four spindles. Should a gap still appear at the top of your dog gate it is important to keep tightening the spindles. If a gap is still present once maximum tension is applied, then a pet gate extension may be necessary. Having selected the right safety gate for your needs, there are some general safety aspects to consider.

Dog gates are useful when training a puppy as they help to teach young pups boundaries and dominance. They also prevent teething puppies from getting near any furniture or anything else you do not want to be chewed! All Safetots’ safety barriers designed for children up to the age of 24 months have been tested and comply with the safety standard EN 1930:2011 when fitted in accordance with the instructions.Pressure fit pet gates also feature a trip bar which is perfectly acceptable if installed at the bottom of stairs but could become an additional hazard if fitted at the top. Dog gates enable you to keep children and pets apart, so you can go about your day with the confidence your child is safe while they play. A dog gate can be installed in any doorway in the home, upstairs and downstairs. These gates can also be used inside and outdoors. Pet gates are the safest room divide for families with young children looking to create a pet-free area for their child to play in, and they prevent dogs from entering bedrooms and playrooms as well as other rooms in the home. In addition, if the safety barrier requires wall cups (pressure fitted gates): WARNING – Never use without wall cups.

Dog and pet gates will allow you to set boundaries wherever necessary, whether it is to keep pets out of places in the home, such as upstairs, or to keep children and animals separate. When installing a gate on a staircase make sure that surfaces for any assembly fixings are secure and in good repair. General stair safety would include repair of unstable bannister rails or spindles and ensuring any floor coverings are in good condition, non-slip and clutter free. If your staircase has spindles, it is advisable to think about the size of gap in between them and whether your child could squeeze through – many parents or carers choose to board them in during these early years as an extra precaution. As your crawler develops into a toddler, start to teach them how to walk up and down the stairs in a safe manner – safe would include using a bannister rail if there is one, walking slowly and holding an adult’s hand, and not carrying anything in their hands. As an adult, remember to use the stairs in this way as your child will learn through observation, and when carrying a child on a stairwell, always have one hand on a bannister rail or secure surface to help avoid tripping. Fit your gate in a strong and secure opening and ensure the surfaces are dry, solid and clean. Safetots recommends the use of appropriate types of fixings depending on the surface available: wooden screws for wooden surface, multi-use plug and concrete screw for concrete surface, plasterboard wall plug and screw for plasterboard surface, metal screw for metal surface If you need to extend your dog stair gate to a larger width of door frame or staircase, pet gate extensions are available from Safetots. Brands such as BabyDan also include the added feature of a safety indicator across all their pressure fit dog gates. This indicator shows if the dog gate has been mounted correctly and provides an extra safety measure and reassurance that the pressure fit dog gate has been installed successfully. Some pressure fit pet gates come with wall cups which cover the four main pressure points, making it easier to apply additional pressure.Indoor dog gates: whether you want to keep your dog out of the kitchen or away from new sofas, an indoor dog gate is the perfect solution, easy to assemble and with integrated two-way access. They are also available with extensions, to ensure these dog barriers can fit in every gap. Here at zooplus we also offer mesh barriers that can fit perfectly across stairways, great for if you are welcoming a new puppy into your home! As with standard pressure fit stair gates , a pressure fit dog gate is not installed using tools or drilling and screwing techniques but by applying pressure to the four main pressure points. To fit a pressure fit pet gate, simply place the stair gate in the space you wish to fill then tighten the bottom two spindles followed by the top two spindles. The gap between the wall and stair gate will then gradually close.
