I really like the look of this gate so much better than the plastic ones. Its made of wood too so you can paint it to match your home. It looks like a bit of work but so worth the effort if you are just having children and will have more and need it again or for dogs that you may have around for years.

Remodelaholic shares the tutorial with plenty of pictures to walk you through making your own or two.
