Rank #9 in Best Pet Gate 2026: What the Width Field Really Says
Retractable Stair Gate for Baby and Dog 150cm Wide, 86cm Tall, Mesh
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This retractable gate costs £26.39, spans up to 150cm and is rated 4.4 stars from 839 ratings.
It takes ninth because it is the lightest gate here at 1.8kg — mesh on posts rather than a steel frame — and because that also tells you what it cannot do: be charged by a determined dog.
How those 839 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

Questions people ask
Does it need drilling?
Yes: retractable gates mount with hardware rather than pressure.
Is mesh as strong as a metal gate?
No: it flexes, which suits a doorway rather than a charging dog.
Why is it so light?
Because there is no frame, only two posts and a sheet of mesh.
Can it close a wide opening?
Yes, up to 150cm, which is the widest span here.
Why is it ninth?
Because it is light, wide and cheap, but it needs drilling and it flexes.
How many ratings does it have?
839 at the time of collection, averaging 4.4 stars, with 72 per cent five-star and 3 per cent one-star.
