Barrier to stop dog going through the back door (gridwall? trellis?)

[AvocadosBeforeMortgages]

I would like to find a barrier that I can use so that I can have the back doors open for ventilation, without the dog being able to go out - for various reasons it's not safe for him to be out there unsupervised.

Due to a wide set of double doors and a small (but muscly) dog, I need something that's 5' wide and 3' high (1.5x0.9m) that can be used as a simple barrier. As I'm in a rented flat, I can't start screwing baby gates into the woodwork.

I've looked at gridwall panels, but that seems to come in any length you like, but only ever in 2' widths. www.equipashop.com/shop-fittings-retail-equipment/retail-display-systems/gridwall/gridwall-panels.html

Trellis all looks a bit flimsy (I have to account for what happens when the dog sees next door's cat)

No specific budget, but I don't want to be spending £££ as I'll be moving out in a few months - perhaps less than £50? Ideas gratefully received

Turn the grid wall through 90 degrees so it fits the width you need.

No that's what I mean - I can get it 5 foot wide (or tall, depending on orientation), but the other dimension is always, always 2 foot for some bizarre reason

you can get pressure fit baby gates - anything wide enough?

get a baby gate that has suction cups for the walls

I was going to say baby gates as well.

I have a wide baby gate (the Lindam Dreambaby Chelsea with extensions) to restrict my foster puppies and its great - no marking the doorway and there are lots of different width extension panels

You don't have to screw babygates into the wall. We used to have a Hauck one (open and stop) that didn't screw into the wall and it was perfectly secure. We also used an Ikea one (now recalled) that didn't need to be screwed into the wall. Maybe if you look for "dog gates" you might find something that works for you - I did a quick google and I found quite a few options, several of which didn't need to be screwed in. I guess they work like babygates - using pressure to keep them in place....

I knew mumsnet would have some ideas - extra wide baby gates that don't require you to screw things in - what a time to be alive

If you can’t get a pressure fit baby gate then get a screw in one and just fill in the holes when you move out.

I've bought one of these - thanks MN www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001L67EQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8
