PET
GATES
- The first mistake you can make in buying pet
gates, is buying a pet gate too late. If you know
you are getting a new pet, you should buy your
pet gates before your new pet arrives at the home.
The
second mistake is buying the wrong pet gate for
the area you wish to protect. It’s important to
only use your pet gates in an application where
they are intended to be installed. For example,
pressure mounted pet gates may be a great idea
to eliminate any holes drilled into your walls,
but is it safe on a staircase? NO
WAY! Pressure mounted
pet gates work well between doorways and hallways,
provided there is solid wood construction to apply
pressure against for the pet gate to hold strong.
Stair posts have irregular surfaces, making a
poor mounting condition for a pressure fit pet
gate. Don't wait for an accident or near accident
to protect your pet from dangerous areas in your
home.
When
your pet is starting to explore their new home,
it's time to install pet gates wherever potential
hazards may be present around your home; at the
top of stairs, at the bottom of stairs, and in
between rooms and hallways for examples of off-limit
areas.
