We have an almost six foot opening between the living room and dining room and needed someway to gate it off to keep our hyper hound and crazy toddler secured in the living room. We had bought a extra metal gate but it had been destroyed after a couple months. I decided to build a heavy duty gate using 1x2s and 2x2s. After sanding, staining and sealing we now have a gate that looks like it is supposed to be there and gets the job done as well. Oh yeah can't forget the cat escape door in the gate so the cats can get away from the dog or baby.
