Magic Gate is a gate that can be used to keep your dog out of certain areas of your home, without making it difficult for you to walk into any area. The gate is made of super-strong mesh that can withstand up to 100 lbs of force, but is barely visible, so it won't disrupt the theme of your decor. Only the border of a Magic Gate can easily be seen, and you can choose between a beige or a black border. This gate can extend across spaces up to six feet wide, and if you use it to cover a shorter gap, all you'll need to do is roll up the excess mesh at one end.

The Claim

With the Magic Gate, you'll be able to keep your dog near you, but you'll also be able to keep him or her from causing trouble inside or outside the house. Once the dog is securely behind this gate, he or she won't be able to bolt out the door, run wildly through your living room, or jump on guests while they're drinking coffee or tea. The gate is transparent, so your dog will still be able to see you as you go about your daily business at home. Besides using it on a variety of doorways in the home, you can also use it at the top or bottom of a staircase.

Total Cost Breakdown

The cost of Magic Gate is $14.99 plus $6.99 shipping. The special TV offer allows you to receive a second Magic Gate by paying an extra fee of $6.99 for a total price of $28.97.

How to Use (Step by Step)

  1. Stick
  2. Each Magic Gate comes with four hooks that will attach it to your wall. To install the gate, stick one hook where you want each of the four corners of the gate to hang. The back of each hook is sticky, so you won't need any glue to attach the hooks.

  3. Unroll
  4. After measuring the space you want your Magic Gate to cover, unroll it to the desired length. Keep any excess mesh rolled up—if you've measured accurately, you won't need it.

  5. Hook
  6. As a final step, hook one corner of your Magic Gate to each hook that you've attached to your wall, and the gate will be ready to use.

Uses

  1. Doorways
  2. The Magic Gate can be used to cover the bottom few feet of virtually any doorway in your home. This option will come in handy when you've got guests in the living room and want to keep your dog out, or when you're cooking in the kitchen and don't want the dog to interfere. The gate can also be placed across a doorway if you want to keep a dog away from another pet or a baby.

  3. Stairways
  4. If you want your dog to stay upstairs for a while, or want to keep them downstairs for a certain period of time, placing a Magic Gate across your stairway is a great strategy. This is especially beneficial if you have professionals doing repairs in a certain area of your house, and you don't want your dog to get in their way.

Alternatives

  • Plastic Dog Gates
  • Plastic dog gates are much heavier than the Magic Gate, making them more awkward to carry. Plus, many people find it awkward to climb over them, while one can just undo the Magic Gate and walk through it when needed. By using a plastic dog gate, you're also more likely to damage a wall by nicking it with the gate, while you won't run this risk when using a mesh gate.

Positive Points

  • Withstands up to 100 Pounds
  • The Magic Gate can withstand up to 100 pounds without breaking. Most dogs are lighter than that, so even if your dog decides to push against the gate to try and break loose, they likely won't be successful, and the gate is likely to stay intact.

  • Easy for Humans to Open
  • To travel through the mesh gate yourself, all you'll need to do is unhook one corner from a top hook, and walk through. Once you're through, you'll be able to quickly hook that corner up again, so your dog won't get through, too.

  • Transparent
  • Each Magic Gate is transparent, so you'll be able to see if your dog is behaving when they're behind it. If you're in a nearby room, they'll also have the security of being able to see you, which will make them feel less bad about being confined to a smaller area.

  • Can be Used for Babies & Cats
  • The Magic Gate can also be used to keep cats, or babies under 100 pounds, in a certain area. While cats generally aren't quite as rowdy as dogs, the gate could be useful if you want to keep your cat from scratching furniture in a certain room, or keep it away from a dog.

Don't buy It

Doesn't really stay on the hooks. The ad I saw showed the gate was retractable this is a complete waste of money.

Waste of Time and Money

No stabilty. Couldn’t get it to tighten and it kept coming off of the hooks. Yes, the adhesive on the hooks can damage surfaces. A child gate works much better.

Hopeless

The dog jumped over it on first use. Sticker hooks will damage the walls when I need to remove it! - I have a pug.

Satisfied Customer

I just put up the Magic Gate and our rambunctious cocker spaniel puppy is no longer able to roam our home. I recommend using extra tape to strengthen the plastic adhesive tabs with hooks. It's an inexpensive product and I feel we got what we paid for - an effective barrier to keep our puppy in one room. It's remarkable how angry other consumers get. I'd recommend disregarding their bad advice if you're the slightest bit handy.

Doesn't Work

I agree with all reviews. Not as described in videos or ads. Flimsy. No return info. No instruction. Worthless.

TOTAL JUNK

Just received the two screens today. The ad on Facebook shows it to be retractable which is want I wanted. When I got the gates, they are totally Junk. You have to work hard to undo the mesh from the hooks because the nylon hooks on the mesh are very short. Also, it doesn't fit well. Had to wrap one side to the outside of the stair casing to get it to fit and it looks like crap.

No instructions and no address to return these POS. Don't' waste your money!

Worthless. Won't hold tension, it unrolls. Openings for rods we're sewn across.

Piece of Crap!

I thought initially this was a great idea and purchased it hoping to keep my Standard Poodle downstairs with us during the day and evening. I just received it in the mail and when I opened it one of the hooks was broken. I immediately was disappointed and opened the rest of the package. There is no way this folds out to 71" as claimed. It is not wide enough for my stairway and the rods supporting the sides are cheap and flimsy. This is such a ripoff. I feel like a fool buying such a piece of Junk. Don't buy this no matter how good they make it look on the commercials. It doesn't work. It's a total scam and someone is making taking this to market. If this we're sold in a store, I'm sure every one of them would be brought back for a refund. Just crap.

I agree with what everyone has said about this product. They should be reported for false representation of the product. And getting money back! That’s a joke. Hope those scammers out there are happy counting our money!

Awful

I am extremely disappointed in this product, one of the elastic loops wasn't even sewn. The hooks popped off and then won't stick. Don't buy it if you want something decent.

DON'T DO IT!

I saw the ad. It looked amazing. I have 2 Dachshunds that head for the door the minute the bell rings or someone knocks. This looked to be the perfect solution. SO. I went on-line and ordered 2 through Pay Pal. And waited. And waited. And waited. Until I thought they would never arrive. What a piece of crap. Flimsy black (they have on laundry bag to wash "unmentionables&#"). Four cheap plastic hooks with adhesive. And four very flimsy 10 inch metal rods that you put together to form the sides of the gate. Well, the dogs can push right through the bottom of the "gates", the hooks pop loose. AND. These things we're not cheap. Roughly a total of well over $30.00 for trash. And try getting Paypal to refund the money. JOKE!

Wish I had Read Reviews

What a waste of money! First it took 2 full months for it to arrive. Then when I got it, it was obvious this was a piece of trash. The excess 'roll' is sloppy looking, the hooks aren't long enough to hold the elastic in place, and the least little pressure makes the entire 'gate' come loose. I have small dogs and it can't even keep them in so the 100 lb pressure claim is 100% false!

Without a doubt the biggest scam ever! Do not buy this! It is useless. It is misrepresented. I wish I had known about these posts before we ordered this. Lesson learned.

Poor Quality, Misleading Info from Seller

Save your money. The gate is too wide, not adjustable, and does not attach securely to the wall. Plus, my dog squeezed right under it in under 30 seconds. The sizes advertised are not accurate and because it is not adjustable, they are not usable. I purchased both sizes. It also does NOT ship from the US as they state. It is from China and poor quality.
