Best Gate for ferrets

North States Supergate Clear Choice

I like this gate.

I needed a gate for the kitchen doorway that was tension mounted due to the door jambs being metal. I would have preferred a swing gate, but the metal jambs just do not hold screws well. I also wanted one that my 11 month old could not stick his fingers through, but could still see the dog onthe other side. This seemed to fit the bill and it did.

The first thing I noticed about it was the height. I didn't really pay attention to the height in the listing. It is 32 inches high which is too high to climb over constantly to go in and out of the kitchen. I was going to send it back and get the shorter gate, but at 23 inches it defeats the purpose of keeping my 30 inch tall son from touching the dog.

The tension on this this is awesome. I had no issue with it coming loose. My son bangs on it HARD and it holds the tight fit.

The plastic is not crystal clear, it is translucent, but you can still make out whats on the other side pretty well.

I liked it so much that I decided to keep it and convert it to a swinging gate because of the climbing over issue.

My son is not too much of a climber, so I can't attest to that. If you have the gate facing the right way, it doesn't look like there is anything for a climber to get a foot on.

Overall, the gate seems sturdy, keeps little fingers out, and is see-through.
