Retractable Baby Gate 140 cm Wide Extra Tall Mesh Gate 🚪
Description:
This extra-tall retractable baby gate extends up to 140 cm wide and reaches 86 cm in height, providing a clear barrier for doorways and stair tops while saving floor space when not in use. Its mesh retracts fully into the cassette to avoid clutter and the absence of a bottom rail reduces trip hazards when carrying children or laundry.
Key Points
The gate uses a fine mesh that keeps small hands and paws out of restricted areas without blocking sightlines. Installation can be at the top or bottom of stairs or across wide doorways and hallways, allowing flexible placement around the home or on covered outdoor thresholds. The lock is reachable and designed for one-handed operation, letting carers open and close the gate while holding a child or items. Consider that this model requires hardware mounting and drilling into the frame or wall for a secure fit, as noted by the manufacturer.

Benefits
The retractable design means the mesh disappears into its cassette when not needed, keeping the passage clear for adults and large objects while still allowing a barrier to be set up quickly. The lack of a bottom rail is a practical benefit for busy households, since there is less chance of tripping or catching feet when moving through with hands full. The top-mounted locking knob allows quick securing with one hand, which is helpful during nappy changes or when carrying infants. Note that the gate’s mesh and locking mechanism are intended for children within the stated age and weight ranges, according to the manufacturer.
Usage Recommendations
Measure the opening before fitting, aiming for a snug fit up to the maximum 140 cm while recognising the manufacturer suggests an ideal width of around 86 cm for typical doorways. For stairway installations, attach the brackets to solid frame or wall material and check the mountings periodically to ensure they remain secure. The gate suits both indoor and sheltered outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to wet weather may affect the mechanism over time. For everyday handling, practise the one-handed push-and-turn lock action to become confident with opening and closing while holding a baby or pet. 🐾👶
