The Eco gate resolves the issue of both wasted steel in production and reduces unnecessary packaging. The design of traditional screw fit pet gates has resulted in up to 40% more steel being produced than is required for the products intended purpose. With millions of screw fit pet gates being produced every year, the environmental impact is obvious. The traditional design uses two overlapping panels, which can be adjusted to fit a variety of widths. Every centimetre of overlap is wasted steel. With an innovative product development, the eco gate was designed so it will fit exactly to your required width with no wasted steel. Additionally, the Eco Gate comes in packaging only 38cm wide, close to half the dimensions of other screw fitted gates. By removing the traditional overlapping system of traditional screw fit pet gates, the whole installation process has been simplified to five easy to follow steps. The Eco gate has a simple manual opening and closing system. The push to release button is activated with a thumb, allowing the user to lift the gate frame out of the cradle with ease. Once through the gate, simply slot the fittings back into the cradle.
