This review is from: GMI 24-Inch GuardMaster II Wire Mesh Security Pet Gate, Standard (Misc.)

i found this product to be well-constructed and sturdy, easy to set up and use, and best of all it was definitely the best price of any i searched for online. the rubber stoppers prevent any mars or scratches to my doorframe, and keep it in place against the nudgings of my small dog as well as my friend's 2 year old daughter when she visits. the actual mesh is coated with pretty heavy duty plastic so it wont snap or break, but also wont snag or cut anyone/thing like plain wire might. and the whole piece is so lightweight i can easily maneuver it with one hand. definitely give it a shot.

This review is from: GMI 24-Inch GuardMaster II Wire Mesh Security Pet Gate, Standard (Misc.)

We got this for our pet rabbit, who gets a whole room to himself. I was skeptical when the fully-assembled gate first arrived because it was light and seemed flimsy, plus the packaging was literally plastic wrapped around the gate, with a paper insert. But once we got the gate into place in a doorway (following the paper's exact instructions), we were surprised by how secure it was. Seriously, we ourselves (2 able-bodied adults) couldn't yank it out of the doorway unless we tried really hard.

Some random stuff that may be good to know:
The gate is high enough to keep bunnies from escaping, but is still low enough for us to step over to go into his room. The wood seems to be untreated, which is great for potential gnawers. The wire is coated with white plastic(?) and hasn't rusted at all, after almost a year of use. The rectangular holes between the wires measure 1x2 inches, and our bunny hasn't gotten anything stuck so far. Once you figure out which notch to use, getting the gate secured and unsecured is easy enough to do with one hand.

Overall, I think this was a really good investment, and I'm glad we bought this gate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for containing kittens, September 20, 2008

This review is from: GMI Guardmaster II Tall Wire Mesh Expansion Gate (Misc.)

We bought this to keep our 9 week old kitten in the master bedroom with us at night, and it worked for a day or so. Until the kitten figured out he could climb it. So I made some cardboard panels (out of the Amazon box the gate came in!) to cover up the wire mesh. That worked for about a night. Until the kitten figured out he could jump up, hang off the top of the gate with his paws, and pull himself over! We didn't think he could jump to the height of the "extra tall" gate. Oops. Lousy smart Siamese kittens!

However these issues are no fault of the gate. Consider that a kitten is like a toddler with fangs who can climb your curtains at will. This gate would probably be good for a human toddler who doesn't have those features. It's decent for the price, as we were looking to just try *something* and didn't want to spend a lot of money. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a little difficult to expand -- like the two sides don't really want to pull apart. That's the only reason I gave it a four.
