Streamlined retractable pet gate unrolls a soft mesh curtain across openings up to 55 in wide and stands 34 in tall to keep toddlers and pets contained. A wall-mounted housing keeps the gate flush with trim when retracted while a self-latching catch holds the curtain closed during active hours. The mesh resists pawing chewing and pushing while the pull mechanism rolls smoothly with one hand for parents carrying laundry or toys.
