87.7 in High Cat Gate 34.2-51.5 in Wide - Extra Tall Auto Closing Gate

In this review the reviewer looks at a purpose-built tall pet gate for households with determined climbers and jumpers. The bottom line: this extra tall gate is aimed at cat owners who need a barrier far higher than standard gates, and it succeeds by combining a nearly 88 in height, narrow 1.4 in bar spacing, and pressure-mounted installation so it holds without drilling. The review focuses on stability, ease of use, and whether the auto-closing, two-way doors and added support pillars genuinely stop agile cats from escaping.

Key Features

• Extra tall coverage: The gate adapts to heights from about 87.7 to 98 in, providing a vertical barrier that helps stop jumper and climber cats.
• Wide adjustable span: Fits openings from about 34.2 to 51.5 in, with extension kit options to cover wider doorways and halls.
• Narrow bar spacing: With less than 1.4 in between bars it prevents kittens and small cats from squeezing through.
• Stability upgrade: Second generation design adds three support pillars and a widened support brace to reduce wobble and keep the gate securely in place.
• One-hand walk-through: Double-acting doors swing both ways and latches can be opened with one hand for convenient passage.
• No-drill installation: Pressure-mounted assembly with adjustable support poles avoids drilling and can be tightened to fit different frame heights.

Who It's For

This gate is best for cat owners who have tall doorways, stair openings, or multi-level foyers and need a barrier that is much higher than typical child or pet gates. It suits homes where drilling is not an option and where a pressure-mounted, removable solution is preferred.

It is less well suited for households that require a narrow fixed doorway pass-through: the single door width is set and not continuously adjustable, and very large dogs or pets who aggressively push may need a gate with permanent hardware mounting for absolute security.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Height and narrow bar spacing effectively deter jumper and climber cats.
• Three support pillars and a wider support brace noticeably increase stability over earlier versions.
• Pressure-mounted design installs without drilling and can be adjusted to different frame heights.
• Double-acting doors with auto close make daily use convenient while keeping pets contained.

Cons

• Single door panels have fixed widths, so the exact passthrough size is not adjustable beyond the offered configurations.
• Pressure mounting, while convenient, may not match the permanence of a drilled installation for very large or determined animals.
