Product Information
Full details
The Bettacare Extra Tall Eco Screw Fit Pet Gate in Grey is designed for pet owners seeking a secure, safe, and environmentally conscious solution for managing pet access in their homes. Its primary benefit is providing robust containment with a focus on safety, particularly for stairways, while offering convenient one-hand operation. A key consideration is that screw-fit gates are the recommended installation method for stairways due to the absence of a trip bar, which might be a factor if you prefer pressure-fit gates for other areas. This gate features a 100cm height, fits standard widths of 70-80cm, and is extendable up to 140cm, made from durable, lick-safe, and bite-proof materials.
