If you want an attractive, sturdy dog gate that will last for years, upscale retailers and specialty stores sell iron gates that they claim do all that and have additional attributes, too.
Features
Even people with a big, strong dog needn't worry that their best friend will destroy an iron gate. Iron is super strong and resists scratches, dents and wear and tear.
Iron dog gates can be designed to mount in a door or stand alone. Some can be used outdoors. They can be ornate or utilitarian, and some have wooden trim and other flourishes.
Retailers
Orvis sells a number of wrought-iron dog gates, including the Cottage Wrought-Iron Gate, which is designed to mount in a door. Pet-Super-Store.com sells the Royal Rings Free-Standing Gate. OhMyDogSupplies.com sells the Outdoor Dog Gate, designed to enclose a dog on a deck.
Custom Builders
A blacksmith can custom make an iron gate for you. You can look for one in your area using the blacksmith trade organization, Artist-Blacksmith's Association of North America Inc. (ABANA), which is linked in the Resources section.
