Colopast Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I am planning to build an indoor gate for my dog. I want to keep him off my workplace because. Which is better, the free-standing or the wall-mounted one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Look at the wooden baby gates that have an adjustment for different size openings, and a lever to close and hold the gate against the door frame. Easy to use and easy to move out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Better in what sense? It depends primarily on the size and strength of the dog, as well as whether or not you want to be able to remove and replace the gate. Wall-mounted is generally stronger, as it doesn't need to rely on friction to keep it in place. Most portable designs don't permanently alter the door frame, which could be important if you rent. Either could be aesthetically pleasing, depending on your skills for both design and execution. I'm toying with ideas for a gate to keep the pitbulls in the family room, and I'm definitely going to need something permanently mounted. For the designs I have in mind, I'd have to space the elements closer together if I had a chihuahua and make the whole thing taller if I had a Great Dane. Your mileage may vary.

Smoggy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If your workspace is an outside building you could make a perminantly fixed full door gate, that would not only keep the dog outside when you need to have the door open to work but woud serve as a security grille when locked down. As stated it all depends on your situation, information you'e not supplied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Have any of you looked at the dog gates from stately english houses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colopast Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions. Just an update, I found a wall-mounted pet gate when I was searching online. The dimensions seem to fit my workplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
