The verdict
When a normal 30-inch gate stops working, either because you have a tall dog or a determined climber, this extra-tall Summer gate buys you height and a wide span. It walks through with a one-hand door and can pressure- or hardware-mount depending on where you use it. The extra height makes it a bit bulkier and the frame less discreet, and pressure-mounted at a stair top is still a no. If your child isn't a climber and you don't have a large pet, a standard-height gate is cheaper and easier to live with.
