Common mounting options include pressure-mounted kits (no drilling), freestanding panels that require no wall attachments, and hardware-mounted or in-ground installations for a permanent, fixed fit.

Pet gates and enclosures are commonly made from metal or steel, wood, plastic, iron pipe, and galvanized metal.

Adjustable widths vary by model. Examples from these listings include ranges like 29–36.5 in, 30.5–41 in, and very large expandable setups that stretch from about 34.5 in up to roughly 154 in.

Common mechanisms include double- or dual-lock systems, lever-style one-touch release locks, walk-through doors that can swing both ways, and auto-closing latches.

Portable options include freestanding foldable panels requiring no wall attachment, compact folding wooden designs for easy transport, and lightweight panels that simply unfold and place without assembly.

Some metal gates advertise narrow bar spacing around 1.37 inches to help prevent paws or very small pets from slipping through.

Many gates include extension pieces or additional bars/tubes and may come with mounting hardware so you can widen the gate or secure it to walls.

Assembly varies by model: many list “Adult assembly required.” Some include the necessary tools, others are tool-free pressure-mounted (no drilling), and freestanding models often require no tools for setup.
