Design Concept

This guinea pig gate is designed to allow easy access and control of space for your piggy. Its simple hinge mechanism makes it a practical solution for small pet enclosures. the gate opens in one direction allowing the pig to enter their caged area but not exit.

Usage

Designed specifically for my guinea pigs, this gate can be used as part of their enclosure, allowing you to create a safe entry point into their habitat but prevents unauthorized exit. the gate extension is placed on top of the gate.... this was added because our pigs decided to simply jump over the gate instead of walking through it.

Printing Suggestions

Print with PLA or PETG for better durability. main gate does not require supports and is print in place. the gate extension however may require supports to print the connection point

Assembly Instructions

Once printed, verify that the gate swings smoothly on its hinge. for me this means playing with it until is swings nicely.

Using a command strip (or double sided tape) on the wall side and using bread ties or anything really to tie it to the fence.

P.S. I added holes in the extension to allow the use of wire ties or bread ties to secure the piece to their fence. I did not need the holes because I just used the clearance in the gate to tie it to the fence.
