Many people use it to encircle the Christmas tree to keep pets away. |
Many Pros About This Product
It can accommodate large pets because it is 26” high. The pet yard is very durable, versatile and makes it convenient for pet owners to keep pets safe. This Superyard Pet Yard is perfect for any pet owner looking for a place that a pet can play safely or when a pet needs to be contained safely. Many people use it to encircle the Christmas tree to keep pets away.
The North States Superyard contains 6 hexagonal shaped panels that allows for 18.5 square feet of play area for your pet. It sets up in just seconds and can be used indoors or outdoors. It is lightweight so can be easily transported from one place to another and is easy to assemble or to adjust the size of the play yard. It is designed to fit versatile uses such as keeping pets away from undesired areas or to give pets a safe place to play outdoors.
It can also come in handy for housetraining or to contain a new pet while an older pet gets used to the newcomer. It is made of flexible sturdy panels that easily connect together, can fold together for easy storage. The panels are easy to clean which is a good thing when you are dealing with a puppy. There is lots of room when it is set up and is ideal for barricading oddly shaped openings indoors.
Just A Few Cons
Things to watch out for with this pet play yard are that it can be pushed by a large or strong dog easily but is perfect for small pets, there are no instructions for using the carrying strap and there is a loud snapping sound that it makes when you set it up or tear it down (the first time this happens you may think you broke it). The joints are difficult to move and adjust when the play yard is new but it becomes easier with the passage of time.
North States Superyard Pet Yard XT is perfect for young or small pets but not great if you have a large or strong animal. It is constructed of sturdy material, is easy to clean and easy to set up and take down. Provides pet parents with a play yard for indoor or outdoor use. It is portable and easy to clean which is almost as important as its ability to keep pets safe. |

North States 3 in 1 (Metal) Gate
Review:
- Our online research showed avg customer review ratings of approx:
4.4 out of 5.0 Stars
Mfr's Suggested Price: $195.95
Our Price: Just $173.95
There are many features of the North States Superyard 3 in 1 Metal Gate that endears it to pet owners. As a pet gate these features are important because the purpose of the gate is to either contain the pet so it cannot gain access to dangerous indoor areas such as fireplaces or give the pet an area to play in while at the same time keeping it out of other areas of the home.
The gate may be used to keep a pet away from a wood-burning stove or from the family’s Christmas tree. This metal gate has six removable and adjustable panels that can extend to 144” wide allowing you to adequately section off restricted areas of your home. It is made of heavy-duty metal with a swinging walk-thru panel that gives pet owners quick access to the pet inside the gated area. Homeowners appreciate that the gate has rubber pads to prevent scratching of floor surfaces. |
What People Are Saying About The North States 3 In 1 Gate
There are many positive reviews from customers who have purchased the North States 3 in 1 metal gate. The gate has many comments concerning how well constructed it is, how easy it is to use. There are comments that it is tall enough to keep pets securely inside the contained area, and sturdy enough that dogs are not able to move it around.
There are only a few negative comments from users including that it is not possible to decrease the area by removing panels, you can only add to the area in 2 or 6 panel extensions. However if you read the manual you will discover that the panels can be removed but it is apparently not easy to do so. Some have remarked that the gate can be cumbersome to move but that this is definitely not something that would have prevented them from buying the gate. It is not easy to open the gate to enter the area as the latch is a bit tricky and it takes two hands to do. A few reviewers have remarked that the motion of opening is a little awkward.
The overwhelming majority of online reviews from buyers, however, say that this is a marvelous pet gate and would recommend it to others. |

The Cardinal Gates Stairway Special solves the serious problem pet owners and parents of babies and toddlers have of the many dangers posed by stairs. The product features that address this problem are the latch system that stops toddlers from opening the gate, the gate qualifies as a safe “top of stair” gate, can be wall mounted at angles of up to 30 degrees, has one-way opening and measures 27 to 42-1/2” by 1-1/2” by 27-3/4” which is plenty adequate for most stairs. It mounts no higher than 4” off the floor for additional toddler safety. |
What Online Reviewers Are Saying

Users have commented on how sturdy the gate is and that they feel it can securely contain both pets and children from going down stairs. The installation is made easy because the instructions are clear and easy to understand. The instructions also contain illustrations that lets you know what parts are being referred to so you know that you are putting the right parts where they are suppose to go on the gate.
Those who use the gate also remark about the benefits of being able to have the gate swing in either directions or just one. This gate does exactly what it is suppose to do. It does not contain plastic parts like other gates do and those other gates break where as the Stairway Special is made of all metal parts for safety and durability. The best praise a gate can receive was written by one reviewer who said, “Our kids have pushed on the gate pulled on it and have tried to open it on numerous occasion and it has been both to hard to open and strong enough to keep them from falling down the stairs”.
Summing It Up
The Cardinal Gates Stairway Special is highly recommended by parents of babies and toddlers as well as by pet parents wishing to protect their loved ones from the dangers posed by stairs. It is sturdy, easy to assemble can be opened by adults with one hand but cannot be opened by toddlers. The easy to understand instructions make the gate easy to install so it can be used shortly after it arrives giving instant peace of mind. |

Pet Gate Barrier Between Dog and Child?
 Want a barrier between your child and your dog? ...Or maybe it's just the OPPOSITE. They get along swimmingly and you're trying to keep them in one room together and out of trouble? Just click the image to the left. You're sure to find your Dog Gates answers!
Pet Barrier Tip - If you have an aggressive dog that you want to separate from your child, do not trust a tension mounted gate or freestanding gate. These may not be secure enough. You may want to only consider hardware mounted dog gates in such a situation. This way the gate is "anchored" to the wall instead of simply mounted by pressure, which can pretty easily be knocked over with just a little aggressive force. - Better to be safe than sorry! |
A dog gate is best suited for small to medium sized dogs who are not good enough leapers to jump over the dog gate or aggressive enough to tear it down, as these gates are typically not extremely tall. They are not well suited for cats either as cats can easily jump over such a barrier. But if you have a typical dog who is under 45 pounds or so, a dog gate is a very effective way of keeping him out of an area where you don't want him to be. |
Examples of Safety Gate Uses... |
Click Image For Wide Selection of Safety Gates!
 Let's think up some examples where dog gates / safety gates can come in extremely handy:
- A baby or toddler's play area (a gate here is therefore used as a baby gate / child gate / or pet gate to keep pet and child separated)
- A baby or toddler's bedroom (if you want to leave the door open so you can hear the child)
- A stairwell where a dog or child could get hurt (used here as a stair gate - Note: Always use hardware-mounted gates at TOP of stairs, NOT a pressure gate!)
- The kitchen area when you are cooking or eating
- The dining room area during meals where you don't want him begging
- A utility room where you have stuff that could be poisonous
- A fireplace hearth (hearth gate)
- To keep pets and children away from a barbeque grill (barbecue gate) |
As much as you love your pooch, there are times when you simply have to block his access into certain areas. Sometimes it's to ensure the safety of small children whom the dog may not be used to. Sometimes it's to ensure the safety of the dog himself. Either way, ordering a dog gate / pet gate / safety gate / or stair gate can be extremely important safety factors (and great conveniences!) for you and your entire household.
