Barrier Height
60cm is the minimum for medium breeds. Jumpers over 15kg need 75cm+ with vertical bars.
Chew Resistance
Powder-coated steel withstands 3x longer chewing than plastic. Avoid wooden gates for teething puppies.
Adjustability
Doorway gates must span 70–110cm without tools. Look for rubberized feet to protect walls.
Portability
Sub-5kg crates fit in car boots. Playpens should fold to 60cm x 15cm for storage.
