Open in Seconds, Gone in Seconds — Extra Tall, On-Demand Boundaries
The same instant open-and-close logic as the standard Flexi Fit Pet Gate, built taller for households with larger dogs. At 80 cm (31.5") tall, the Perforated Flexi Fit Pet Gate - Tall provides a more substantial physical boundary for medium-sized dogs, large breed puppies, and active small breeds that the standard height does not reliably contain. The pressure mounted design expands outward to grip both sides of the opening with rubber-tipped ends and a slide latch that locks width in one motion—no drilling, no tools, no permanent fixings. When the boundary is needed, the gate is open and locked in seconds. When it is not, it closes back just as fast. The perforated lower panel keeps the dog visible through the gate at all times, allowing owners to monitor condition and behaviour without opening the gate. The optional feet provide additional floor stability when needed. Fitting openings from 71 to 103 cm (28.0"–40.6"), PG17-Tall is the first-choice temporary gate for new owners managing a larger or more active dog without committing to permanent wall installations.
80 cm Tall — A More Substantial Boundary for Larger Dogs
At 80 cm (31.5"), the gate is designed for households where the standard 58 cm height is not sufficient—medium-sized dogs, large breed puppies in early growth stages, and more active small breeds that are likely to challenge a lower barrier. The taller profile provides a more meaningful physical boundary in pressure mount mode, where the rubber-tipped ends grip both sides of the opening and the slide latch locks the gate wider than the opening itself. For large breed puppies in particular, who grow quickly and whose containment needs change rapidly over the first year, the extra height gives owners a longer usable window before the dog outgrows the gate. Owners should always assess their specific dog's size and behaviour against the gate height to confirm suitability.
Perforated Panel — Dog Stays Visible at All Times
The lower section of the gate features a perforated panel design that allows owners to see the dog through the gate without opening it. This visibility is particularly relevant for puppies and younger dogs whose condition and behaviour benefit from regular monitoring—owners can check at a glance whether the dog is settled, active, or showing signs of distress without disrupting the boundary. The perforated construction also improves airflow through the gate, preventing the enclosed space from becoming stagnant during longer containment periods. The open panel structure keeps the gate visually lighter than a solid panel, making it less obtrusive in the home environment.
Open in Seconds, Gone in Seconds — No Tools Required
The exclusive slide latch locking system sets the gate width and locks it in one motion. Push both sides of the frame outward until the rubber-tipped ends contact the wall surfaces, then slide the locking mechanism along the horizontal middle bar toward the centre until it stops—the gate is open and secured. To release, the action simply reverses. No tools, no wall plugs, no drilling at any stage. This instant open-and-close capability makes PG17-Tall the practical choice for owners who need a boundary for specific periods of the day—while cooking, during mealtimes, or when the front door is in frequent use—without a gate permanently occupying the opening. The large latch handle ensures one-handed operation is comfortable for adults.
Expands to Fit Between Walls — Optional Feet for Added Stability
PG17-Tall is designed to be used between two walls. The gate expands slightly wider than the opening, so both rubber-tipped ends press firmly against the wall surfaces on each side. When a dog pushes or collides with the gate, the force transfers directly into the walls rather than tipping the gate over—the wall itself is what keeps the gate in place. The optional feet provide additional floor contact and stability, particularly useful on uneven surfaces or during the initial expansion process. The feet are not a substitute for wall contact—the gate should always be deployed between two walls for reliable containment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between PG17 and PG17-Tall?
A: The primary difference is height. PG17 stands at 58 cm (22.8") and is designed for small breed dogs and puppies. PG17-Tall stands at 80 cm (31.5") and is designed for medium-sized dogs, large breed puppies, and more active small breeds that a lower gate would not reliably contain. Both share the same pressure mount design, exclusive slide latch mechanism, width adjustability, and optional free-standing feet. For retailers, the two products serve adjacent segments and pair naturally as a tiered range.
Q: How does the perforated panel design benefit owners?
A: The perforated lower panel allows owners to see the dog through the gate without opening it. This is particularly useful for puppies and younger dogs whose behaviour benefits from regular monitoring—owners can check at a glance whether the dog is settled or showing signs of distress. The perforated construction also improves airflow, preventing the space from becoming stagnant during longer containment periods.
Q: How quickly can the gate be opened and closed?
A: The gate opens and locks in seconds. Push both sides of the frame outward until the rubber-tipped ends contact the wall surfaces, then slide the locking mechanism along the middle bar to the centre until it stops. Closing the gate is equally quick—release the slide latch and the frame contracts. No drilling, no wall plugs, and no tools are required at any stage.
Q: Is the gate stable enough for a medium-sized dog or large breed puppy?
A: Yes, when used between two walls as intended. The gate expands wider than the opening so both rubber-tipped ends press firmly against the wall surfaces. When the dog pushes against the gate, the force goes directly into the walls—the gate does not tip over because the walls are holding it in place. Owners should assess their specific dog's size and behaviour against the 80 cm (31.5") height to confirm it is sufficient.
Q: Does the gate need to stay in place permanently?
A: No. The instant open-and-close design means the gate can be expanded and locked when needed, then released and closed just as quickly when the situation changes. Owners who only need a boundary while cooking, during specific activities, or at certain times of day will find this on-demand flexibility far more practical than a permanent installation.
Q: Is this suitable for a large breed puppy?
A: Yes, for puppies in early growth stages where 80 cm (31.5") provides a meaningful height advantage. Large breed puppies grow quickly, so owners should monitor whether the gate height remains appropriate as the dog develops. For households that anticipate needing a more permanent and taller solution as the puppy matures, the ESG48-Tall at 110 cm (43.3") with wall-secured hardware mounting is the recommended next step.
