Yes, our Retractable Gates can be installed outdoors. They are made with durable materials designed to withstand outdoor conditions:

  • UV-Resistant: The mesh and gate components are treated to resist sun damage, ideal for porches and decks.

  • Pet-Friendly: The mesh is tough enough to withstand occasional contact with pet claws.

Some tips to help extend the life of your Retractable Gate:
