Shipping & returns
Tracked delivery anywhere in the United States. Free on orders of $50 or more; below that the only method offered is Express Delivery at $22, which is also available above the threshold as a paid upgrade. Allow 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
We give you 15 days from delivery to return an unused item. That is our own policy rather than a United States statutory right, because federal law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase. Send it back unused and in resaleable condition and we refund what you paid for it, less a $29 per order handling charge; on a change of mind you also cover the return postage and the original delivery charge is not refunded. If the item arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, none of that applies: tell us and we put it right at our cost.
Your rights under federal and state consumer protection law are unaffected. That is a statutory right and nothing on this page limits it.
Looking after it
Wipe the tubing down and check the tension every few weeks. The feet are the part that shifts, and a barrier that has loosened is not doing the job you bought it for.
About this product
The dog stays behind it. You keep the mirror.
A pressure-mounted tubular partition, adjustable from 34 to 60 inches wide and 27 to 45 inches high, with vertical poles you can space from 2 to 28 inches apart.
A loose dog in a car is a distraction on a good day and a projectile on a bad one. A partition puts a physical line between the animal and the driver.
This one is adjustable in both directions: 34 to 60 inches across and 27 to 45 inches tall, so it suits a hatchback boot or a large SUV load space.
The vertical poles move too, from 2 inches apart to 28 inches apart, which is how you set it for a terrier rather than for a labrador.
The tubing is slim on purpose. A partition that blocks the rear window trades one safety problem for another, and this one leaves the mirror usable.
It mounts by pressure between the floor and the roof or between the seatbacks. Nothing is drilled and nothing is bolted to the car.
There are two reasons to fit a car partition and only one of them gets talked about. The obvious one is that a dog climbing into the front is a distraction. The other is that in a hard stop an unrestrained animal keeps going at the speed the car was doing.
This barrier is adjustable in both dimensions, 34 to 60 inches wide and 27 to 45 inches high, which covers the load space of most estates, hatchbacks and SUVs without being cut or modified.
The vertical poles are adjustable in spacing as well, anywhere from 2 inches to 28 inches apart. Set them close for a small dog that would otherwise walk through the gap, and wide for a big dog where the poles are only a boundary.
Because the tubing is slim, the rear window is still a window. A solid partition in the same place removes the rear-view mirror from the car, and swapping a dog problem for a visibility problem is not an improvement.
It mounts under pressure rather than by drilling, so it goes in and comes out in minutes and the car is unmarked. Check the tension before each journey: a pressure fit that has been knocked is a partition that is no longer one.

Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. We give you 15 days from delivery on any unused item. That is our own policy rather than a United States statutory right, because federal law gives no cooling-off period for an online purchase, and we would rather say so than imply a right you do not have. Send it back unused and in resaleable condition and we refund what you paid for it, less the $29 per order handling charge; on a change of mind you also cover the return postage.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Your rights under federal and state consumer protection law are unaffected. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size car does it fit?
It adjusts from 34 to 60 inches wide and 27 to 45 inches high, which covers most hatchbacks, estates and SUVs. Measure your own load space across and up before ordering.
Where does it go, the boot or the back seat?
Either. Most people fit it behind the back seat to close off the boot; it can also go behind the front seats if the dog travels on the bench.
Do I have to drill anything?
No. It is pressure mounted and adjusts by hand, so nothing is drilled and nothing is bolted to the car.
Will my dog fit through the gaps?
That depends on how you set it. The vertical poles adjust from 2 inches to 28 inches apart, so close them up for a small dog.
Can I still see out of the back window?
Yes. The tubing is deliberately slim so the rear-view mirror is still usable. That is the main reason to choose this shape over a solid divider.
Is it a crash restraint?
No. It is a partition that keeps the dog in the load space. For crash protection use a crash-tested crate or a harness.
Can a big dog push it over?
It is under tension between two surfaces, so it resists a push. Check that tension regularly, because a pressure fit that has been knocked loose is not a barrier.
Will it damage my headlining or trim?
The feet spread the load. Fit it against a firm part of the trim rather than against a soft headlining panel, and check for marks after the first week.
How long does fitting take?
Minutes. Set the width, set the height, set the pole spacing and tension it.
Can I take it out for a weekly shop?
Yes, and most people do. It comes out by hand and stores flat.
Does it fold?
It collapses down to its minimum width and height for storage.
Will it fit a pickup?
Only where there are two surfaces to press against. An open bed gives it nothing to grip.
Can I use it in the house as a room divider?
It is made for a car interior. For a doorway or a stairway the retractable pet gate is the right product.
Two dogs, one barrier?
Yes. It divides the space; it does not care how many dogs are behind it.
Does it rattle?
Correctly tensioned it should not. A rattle almost always means the tension has dropped.
What colour is it?
Black.
Does it come with tools?
It does not need any. The adjustments are hand-operated.
Can I wash it?
Wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not put it through a car wash or leave it soaking.
Will it stop the dog barking at the window?
No. It controls where the dog is, not what it does there.
Is it suitable for a cat?
A cat in a car should be in a carrier. This is a dog product.
Can I fit it in a car with a load cover fitted?
Usually yes, but the load cover and the barrier compete for the same anchor points. Take the cover out if it interferes.
What if it is too wide for my car?
It has a minimum width of 34 inches. Below that it is the wrong product, and forcing it is how trim gets damaged.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free across the USA on orders of $50 or more. Below $50 the only rate the checkout offers is Express Shipping at $22, so on a single $29 item the postage is $22.
How long will my order take?
5 to 7 days for delivery, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time while the order is picked and packed. The handling time is not part of the 5 to 7 days.
Do you ship outside the United States?
The checkout accepts international addresses and offers the same two rates, and we have shipped abroad before. Delivery times outside the USA are not something we can promise, so email us before ordering from outside the country and we will tell you what we can.
Will I get a tracking number?
Yes. You will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as the order ships. Tracking codes exist only once the parcel is with the carrier, so there is nothing to send in the first 24 to 48 hours.
Where do I enter my tracking code?
On the Track Your Parcel page. Paste the code from your shipping email into the box and press Track.
Can items in one order arrive separately?
Yes. For logistical reasons items in the same purchase may be sent in separate packages, so a partial delivery is not a lost parcel.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards, PayPal and cryptocurrency. Card payments are handled by Stripe and card details never reach this website.
What currency are the prices in?
United States dollars. Every price on this site is USD and that is the currency your card is charged in.

A PRESSURE-MOUNTED tubular partition for the boot or behind the back seat.
