Can I use this as a gate to divide our one car garage into two areas ?I would need to mount to the wall on both sides.

You would definitely need to anchor both end to the wall and possibly think about something to add rigidity on the straight expanse. We set our up as a "U" shape around the dog door in the garage and had to add aluminum angle iron to strengthen anywhere two panels were straight

It's possible, with some creative engineering. Remember these panel use a thin rod to connect the panels together so they won't stay straight across they will flex back and forth a little. A solution for that would be to run something long and straight at the bottom of all the panels and use cable ties to secure it to the panels and that will prevent them from flexing at their joints...Hope this helps. On the other hand these are awesome play pens and can be used in many different configurations along with cable ties the possibilities are endless. These are the nicest play pens I've ever found and use daily. It's possible, with some creative engineering.

I believe you could use this item this way, however you would of course need to measure the distance and check when the kennel sections are outstretched how long it is if it would reach end to end to your garage walls. It would need to be securely fastened to your garage walls up and down the kennel section on both ends as it stands securely as a round circle but probably not so much if it were out stretched like you are talking about.

I guess it's technically possible to use the metal rods to link 2 together side by side, but I think the problem you'd run into is that there wouldn't be enough tension to keep the gates in place.

Not sure I totally understand your question. It is designed to attach to one door only based. It can't be used for two separate doors unless somehow they were already connected as one door.

It wouldn't work too well was a room divider unless you found a way to mount it to the walls on either side. It is made to be a square or rectangle. I have a 6 panel outside as a three sided fenced in area against our sliding glass door. I have it mounted with two types of connections to ensure our 14 pound dog can not disconnect it. It does not stand on it's own fully extended. I can measure it tomorrow if you are still interested.

I don't see why you couldn't attach the gates together. I don't have two but I think it would work fine.

It can be between walls or not.There is no rubber ends or arm bar to hold it like a baby gate. There is 3 panels to this gate-both ends panels can be turned to make a u shape or one turned and other straight which is really handy for different angles. I have this gate around my front door to keep my runner from getting out when company comes over ,it's a great gate.

Not really. You can mount it as a swing gate, but it would be hard to fasten if the bannister is in the way.

yes it would be possible to connect two of these gates together with nylon cable ties or something similar. However I do not know how safe/flimsy it would be? I only needed a gate to keep my cats out of my bedroom so I did not have to be concerned about child safety. And if you attach two gates it would hinder one of the gates being able to expand.

We were able to mount the gate to a banister on one side. It did not come with the hardware. We had to buy and stain a 2" x 4" piece of wood and cut to the height of the banister, then strapped it on the banister with heavy duty straps. We had cut grooves in the 2x4 to secure the straps in place. Then the gate circles (where the gate is attached to open and close it) were screwed into the wood. It sounds like a lot of work but works great in the long run.

No you would have to take the hings off of the one panel but I just leave one planel flat on one of the side together and it is thincker but very usable . I love my gate .

It would need to be 100% flat surfaced. If there is a wall on one side you need a beam behind the wall. The gate doesnt hold up with regular dry wall anchors well.

Absolutely. I actually need an extra gate, but am using the end panel as one to block hallway entrance. I have an open kitchen living room area. When at work, the dogs can't get into the living room or hallway where there is carpet. I love it, you see pics of it on amazon, the whole thing folds up neatly and can be restored in the box it was shipped in. Use as many panels as needed. When I am finished un packing, I will have my daughter take pics for the site, if allowed. You will love it! Richell, if your listening, How do I get another gate?

Our remotes will open/close the gate from our garage which is 500-600ft away from the gate. And yes you can convert a single system later by adding another arm. The brain will support either set up.

Well, I didn't think of mounting one between 2 cars and trying it, but in a tight garage it might work. My co-worker installed two, but he has two small cars and a big garage. with a Suburban and a pickup like I have, it might register on both as you drive up if mounted directly between.

Physically this should work, however, the wall between the garage and the rest of a house is likely fire-rated, and installing this between the house and garage will also likely negate that fire-rate-ability. -greg frohring

It MAY be possible expand it, if that's what you're asking. The base unit at the end can be removed and one of the panels could be used in that manner but you'd have to buy two gates. To answer the other part of your question, there is no door.

I have one on my door that leads out of the garage, with a security screen door on the outside. So depending on how much room is between your door and screen door, it is possible.
