Q:How wide are the spaces between the slats? Concerned my small dog may fit through them.

A:

They’re 2 11/16″ apart. This is a wonderful quality product and so good looking in my home.

Q:Would a toddler be able to push this over? Thank you.

A:

I doubt it — it seems very sturdy. That said, I only have experience using it as a 4-panel-gate closing off the area in front of our fireplace, kinda a semi-circle. Our little one is almost 2, tall, and very agile. So far the gate has held up fine to lots of toy-bumping, and curious shaking of the bars. I’ve been really happy with how sturdy it feels. One common-sense key — you need to make sure you’re anchoring it into a stud in each wall if using it as a gate in this way, or else it won’t hold securely at all!

Q:What is the difference from the arched decor metal, metal gate, and wood gate besides the prices?

A:

I am not sure first hand as I only have the standard metal gate, but it looks more like looks. Mine has been in front of my TV area for years so if I had had the choice I would have done the nicer looking metal gate. It looks like really all how you want it to look in your home. I am not sure how the wood gate would be and if it is still as stable as the metal.

Q:Can sections be taken off this to make smaller? I have a longer area.. But not this long but longer than the shorter ones that are available.

A:

Yes, you can remove panels

Q:if the gate was long way what width would it cover? Like the width of a door way opening

A:

I bought the gate for my daughter so don’t have it to measure. The wording isn’t correct, it actually looks like the photo …6 sided, but can be opened up and could cover a length of at least 10 feet. My son has it also for his daughter and has added more sides to it and his is big enough to get in and play.

Q:I am looking for a gate to put around our wood stove that is used 24/7. I am worried the metal ones will get too hot. Would this product do better?

A:

I have no experience with the wood one. I currently use 2 metal north states gates. 1 is used around our wood stove in the finished basement. It’s kept about 3 feet from the stove and does not get hot. The other metal gate is kept around our pettet stove. The front section is 1 foot away & does heat up, the side panels are 2 feet away & does not warm up. I love the north gates, cheaper than the competition. Saves the worry of my little one falling on the stove. We keep a good clean & clear section around the gate & stove, to prevent secondary fire.

Q:What is diameter of 6 panel yard and with extra 2 panels?

A:

Hey Kira, the best deal is to get two of the superyards. My daughter wanted to add two panels to the one I got her. When we added up the cost it was better too get another one complete cause it had another gate. Too the question you asked it’ll add about 4 feet to the yard. Think about getting another one cause you can make all sizes even block off the whole living room. Hope this helps.

Q:Can I attach this to one wall to make a circular, closed-in area? Is hardware to do this included? How long would it take, and would I need a drill?

A:

Yes, that is how I installed mine. Hardware is included, however, the part that attached to the wall on one side was wrong. I called the company, and they quickly sent me out a new piece. I just delayed my install by a few days. It should only take about 30 minutes. A drill is useful, but a screwdriver will do the trick. If you are installing into drywall with no stud, use a wall anchor or molly.

Q:Can I remove just one panel? or do I always have to add and remove a pair? I am not finding a way to join it after removing a single panel

A:

Not sure, I just put the extra pair directly on the six sides to make the larger play yard. I think there are only certain connectors.

Q:can you add additional panels to any area of the playard or only to each end? Can you remove panels?

A:

Yes, they all come apart. You can add anywhere.

 

Q:In the hexagon configuration, what is the longest width from outer edge to outer edge? My math says it should be 48″ but is this exact?

A:

Yes it is 48″ exact. We have used this as a great playpen and now that our grandson is 1 1/2 years old, we open it up and use it as a gate to block off areas that cannot be blocked off any other way. EX: we have a study with a 5 ft open doorway with no doors. So, it can be used after a play yard is no longer needed.

Q:Could this be installed outdoors? Will it stand up to rain/snow?

A:

My opinion is no. It is made of wood, and I think the weather would be really hard on it.

Q:I have a 11 year old Staffordshire terrier that weights 70 pounds and I want stop her from running to the front door. is this barrier tall enough for

A:

She can probably put her paws on top of the gate, but if she’s not a jumper, I would be shocked if she could get out. My friends have a 65 pound Black Lab who comes to visit and has not figured her way out of the gate yet.

Q:I need a replacement gate as mine is falling apart, we have only had it for 9 months. How do I go about getting a replacement?

A:

I called the company and was informed that they do not sell replacement gates.

Q:mount

A:

Wall mount included, with paper template.

Q:Are there any other play yards that might be even higher, I have two ambitious climbers at home.

A:

There is a R94192 which is a 6 panel plastic play pen which is 36″ high, and there is also a 548DR which is a wire mesh that is 48″ high.

Q:I want to use for my puppies, how far apart are the bars?

A:

About three inches – their head would definitely fit but u could always temporarily put plastic garden fencing around the bottom about 10 inches up and they would not get stuck. I love this gate the best we have ever had I have two 40 lb border collies and they won’t jump it “REALLY.” They are border collies.

Good luck.

Q:How much does it weight

A:

Not sure… maybe 20lbs.

Q:can you attach it to a wall?

A:

Yes. Comes with a paper template for wall mounting.

Q:What type of wood is it made from?

A:

I have no idea, not an expert in wood, but it is a medium wood color! Looks expensive and not cheap.

 

Q:Besides the price, how is this different than the Metal version? Curious why this is more expensive…

A:

It’s made of wood, and it’s not cheap, flimsy wood. It’s quite sturdy. However, If you had a very large, determined dog, I wouldn’t guarantee that they couldn’t move it. We attached it to our dog’s crate, so that it serves as a “front yard” to her den. It gives her a bit more space if we have to leave her for more than an hour or two.

Q:If I added two panels, could it still be folded easily and stored when not in use?

A:

The only thing 2 additional panels would do as far as storage goes is to make the “accordion” fold of the unit thicker. The standard 6 panels is around 6 inches thick so 8 panels would probably be about 8* thick. I absolutely love this unit for how well it works and how handsome it looks.

Q:Can this be folded and stored easily when not in use? I will just need it one day a week for my grandson. Was worried about metal play yard weight.

A:

It depends on how you have it installed… If you mount it you can’t really remove it easily. However, I think you can fold it up if you are just using it as a hexagon structure.

Q:Is this pressure mounted? And can it be mounted on two walls? (It will go between two walls)

A:

It can go between two walls but is not pressure mounted. Brackets are provided that must be screwed into the walls. 2 brackets for each side, upper and lower.

Q:When using this gate as wall-mounted how many feet wide is it? I have a 12ft wide opening, would it accommodate that?

A:

Yes. It may be a few inches long with the mounting hardware. Each of the six pieces are 24″ and the wall mount adds another 2.5″ at each end.
I’m pretty sure it only comes with mounting hardware for one end.

Q:is this a babby jail?

A:

Yes. Once babby is formed and is no longer way instain mother, the babby cannot frigth back once placed into this effective babby jail. My pary are with the babby who is imprisoned in this babby jail.
