| Hi
Kat,We got the Closet shelf material from Home Depot and they are only
16 inches high. They are like a metal grate with a lip on one side. I can't
remember the brand, but, I know they come in several sizes to fit the racks
in the closet. I wish I had a picture to send. My husband Jim put an extra
piece of door molding in the door frames so the shelf would slide right
in. They are very easy to step over since they are only 16" high and I
cover them with a bath towel to remind me they are there. They are great
for night time since my bedroom is off the the hallway from the kitchen.
When ever we go out I put the gates up and all 3 dogs know they are supposed
to be on the kitchen side of the gate and they will come to the kitchen
when they see me pull the gates out from behind the fridge.Hope this helps.Hugs,
Marilyn

Marilyn, do your gates swing open or do you just climb over them?
How did you make them?

have 3 little ones, 2 Yorkies and a long-haired Chi. We put up gates between
the kitchen and the carpeted areas of the house. We also put pads down
on the linoleum floors and it seemed to work. They are used to the kitchen
area and we never have any more accidents on the carpet, which is a blessing
since we have dark brown carpet..LOL.. The gates we have are made from
metal grate shelving bought at Home Depot. They can see through them so
they don't feel penned off from the rest of the house.Good luck Lauren..Hugs,
