Can anyone think of a way to add an extension to this gate? The space where I want to put it is about 55 inches wide.

Yes, I agree with adding the wood. How often will you need to go through the gate? That would make a difference on whether the wood would be falling down all the time.

You could add a small piece of wood to one side, you only need about 5 inches more.

The kit spans roughly 3.9 feet, however you could probably keep buying add on side parts and connecting them. One side add on is about 5 inches wide and the other is around 7 inches wide. I'm not sure if that would compromise the sturdiness of the gate though.

The directions should be more clear. There is a piece of paper attached to the gate that tries to describe what happens. Basically set up the gate in your space. As you tighten the screws on the side the gap will get smaller and smaller. Eventually it comes together. You have to tighten more than you would think so don't give up.

It comes with extensions. I don't know for sure how wide it makes the gate when both are used, but I would estimate 42-48 inches.

Sorry No.... the gate alone is 52"'s and there are fixed sides on both left and right.

The manufacturer states 48" maximum. Two possible solutions with this gate, which we like a lot, are as follows. One would be to buy two gates,as there are multiple extensions, which might work, but would be expensive unless you need two gates one opening 49" and one less than 45". The other solution,which should work, would be to get two 3/4" boards that are at least 34" long and at least 2" wide to place next to each wall and the gate pressure would hold them in place. They could be painted the wall color. We use them in 35", 36.5" and 39 " openings so there is definitely flexibility. Hope these thoughts help!

I don't know about any extensions. But I had the same problem. What I did was painted two 2x4's white and put them on both sides of the gate, the same height as the gate. It blends fine and works just fine for me.

I don't see why not since it goes to 6 foot wide and 54 inches is only 4.5 feet. My entry is 4 foot and I had no problem and the gate looks good too.

The gate is just over 2 feet in height. It will definitely extend to 108 inches. I measured it last night before answering the question.

There is no extension for this gate. But I have a gate that will expand up to 77 inches, it has a solid portion on each end and a gate which opens in the middle. The cost is $159.99 and comes in black, wood tone or white. If you woudl like this one instead contact me at faye.loans@gmail.com.

I have used it to span 3' 11" and this is about the limit of the gate. To span further you would have to add some kind of additional stiffening and support to any extra extensions.

No , it's not for a gate that wide. I would not put it in a gate any wider than 6 ft wide. And that's pushing it.

Not that I know of nor can see how it could be done...see how long the gate will expand from the manufacturer description. There is a range of expansion.

41 is fine with the basic gate I even use the gate without extension on a 42 opening but that is stretching it a bit :-)

I believe the opening can be no more than 72" so you should be fine. My opening is 59 1/2 and I left off one section of the gate not to be used. Nice and sturdy. We have no complaints about the gate as long as you can secure attach each end solidly into the wall you should be good.

My opening is 35" and the gate has two extensions, one on each side, the gate opening is 16 1/2". I don't know if they have them, larger extensions, but this really is a great gate if it fits your door frame opening. It is a tension gate and the more extension you add the weaker it makes the gate. Course, you could add something like 2x4's to decrease the door size opening to accommodate the gate and smaller extensions if needed. Don't know your situation, but hope this all helps.
