Description
CHOOSING THE CORRECT SIZE
We have 5 sizes to choose from, 3 sizes for installation behind the front seats and 2 sizes for a cargo space. Sizing is based on one simple measurement, depending on where you intend to install the barrier.
For sizing behind the front seats, measure the wall-to-wall width of your vehicle at headrest height.
- Select a Front-Small if your width is 52" or less (perfect for the Suzuki SR-4, for example).
- Select a Front-Medium if your width is over 52" up to 56" (great for 4-door sedans including Jeeps).
- Select a Front-Large if your width is over 56" (intended for full-size SUVs such as the Chevy Suburban).
For sizing a cargo area, measure the "floor"-to-ceiling height of that space.
- Select a Rear-Small if your height is closer to 33" than 43" (perfect for the Subaru Outback and similar low-profile crossovers).
- Select a Rear-Large if your height is closer to 43” than 33" (great for a Chevy Suburban, for example).
INSTALLING THE GREAT DIVIDE
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Anchor on the HeadrestsThere are 2 grommet holes to choose from when anchoring The Great Divide to each headrest using the loop bungees provided. |
Anchor on the HeadrestsWhen securing The Great Divide to the headrest, if your headrest is on the small side, use an overhand knot. |
Upper Attachment on HandleUse the double-hook bungees provided to secure the upper "corners" as needed. (This is not necessary in all vehicles.) As seen here, you can utilize both upper grommets and/or double-wrap the bungees around the handle to create the snuggest fit. |
Upper Attachment on HandleYou can also use the double-hook bungees in this way to secure the upper "corners" as needed. |
LOWER ATTACHMENTS FOR THE GREAT DIVIDE
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Under the SeatOne of the lower "corners" of The Great Divide may stick out after you attach the barrier to the headrests. This will resolve once you secure the lower “corners." Typically there is a bar of some type underneath the seat on which you can hook one end of a double-hook bungee. |
On the Side of the SeatAlternatively, you can hook one end of a double-hook bungee to any nook or cranny of the plastic seatbelt housing on the floor of the vehicle. |
Use the Built-In Anchor Point for Infant Car Seat - ExposedLower attachments are not always necessary when installing The Great Divide in a cargo area. That said, many newer-model cars are equipped with anchor points on the backseat intended for use with infant car seats. You can use these anchor points and the double-hook bungees provided to secure the lower "corners" of The Great Divide, as seen here. |
Built-in Anchor Point for Infant Car Seat - HiddenHere we see the built-in anchor point intended for an infants car seat "hidden." Look closely and you can see the double-hook bungee just peeking out. |
OTHER HELPFUL INFO
The actual net dimensions of the various sizes are as follows: Front Small - 52"W x 43"T, Front Medium - 56"W x 47"T, Front Large - 60"W x 50"T, Rear Small - 50"W x 33"T, and Rear Large - 52"W x 43"T. (+/- 1 inch in either direction, all sizes)
It is important to remember that your success with any barrier will depend, at least to a degree, on the size and/or temperament of your pet. (Some circumstances may call for metal barriers or crating.)
Nylon mesh fabric + puppy teeth ≠ a good outcome, so we do not recommend The Great Divide for chewing puppies! Rambunctious, young dogs with really "enthusiastic" temperaments may not be great candidates either!
Last but certainly not least, this awesome Aussie is Bailey, the real-life inspiration for our first model, The Original Pet Net. We have her to thank for The Great Divide. Thanks, Bailey!
