Lindam safety gates/room dividers

I am looking at the Lindam range of safety gates/room dividers, such as:

We are converting our dining room (which we never use as we have a large 'meals area') into a playroom for DD it has a large opening of 1.8m so we need a wide room divider.
The Lindam range has the 3 products above that seem to be able to do the job but Im confused...
* Can you seperate the panels for it to fit right?
* What happens if the widths dont match the width of the doorway opening?
I cant have it poking out like in one of the pictures as the room joins onto the hallway so i want one to go straight across the opening....

please help, im new to all this!... needing to get this play room up as DD is really getting around now (nearly 10 months) and i need a nice area for her to play in safely unsupervised for short periods while I put a load of washing on etc, etc...

the lindam ones look too long or too short for the space you have. you could try these (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Baby-Wall-Baby-Gate-up-to-185cm-wide-1_W0QQitemZ180271813633QQihZ008QQcategoryZ2988QQtc ZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) i haven't used them but maybe someone else has.

I have the Lindam Gates and they are okay, a bit taxing on the walls though and do leave bad marks.

You can get extension panels for them. I would suggest taking your measurements to the baby store and see if they can accomodate you. :)

I got my gates and extension panels from bunnings. Im not sure of the brand. I also have an extender gate that concertinas across a 2meter hall way and that was from toys r us.
