I built this safety gate from 2x4's and rebar to match a client's staircase in one afternoon! This video shows you the process I went through to size all of the parts and discusses various construction methods for a variety of tools you may have available.

I really like the design you used. I had made a gate for my house just a little different only with 2x4s and rebar and I gave the wood a burned look it came out great. Wife wants two more now

I like the beefyness of the wood mixed with the rebar for spindles which I have never seen used together in a gate. That should hold up well against a big dog. Thanks from Tim in Virginia

Thanks for the ideas! Curious how you attached the hinges to your siding. Can you share the hardware that you used?

@WoodshopMike 4 жыл бұрын

I actually installed this gate inside, but if I was going to attach it to vinyl it'd add some blocking that was scribed to the siding's profile. Here's a link to a similar hinge 👍🏻👍🏻 amzn.to/3axbWCl

I like the looks of this gate Mike. I'm trying to decide on a design for a gate to replace an old outdated child gate that has always been used for dogs, and this may be the one. Since I have two dogs with small heads, I would make my gate with no more than 2" on-center spacing of the bars. Hopefully the 4" on-center spacing of the bars in the gate you built makes it impossible for their dog to get its head stuck between them.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the gate! My client has German Shepherds so no worries about dog heads getting stuck 😃. This spacing also matched the stairs (which in hindsight I should have mentioned in the video). Happy building! 👍🏻👍🏻

You replied before I could edit my post. After reading it, I thought I might have come across as condescending or critical. That was not my intention because I've been a subscriber of yours for a while and I know that you plan and think things through thoroughly before you start any project.

Amazing video Mike! If you were to set something up like this for outside would you put the same product on the rebar or more of a paint?

@WoodshopMike 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I'd be comfortable using the same product on the rebar, but I would definitely consider adding some clear silicon caulk to the bottom holes that the rebar slides into. I know it's a pretty snug fit, but that caulk will keep water from collecting in the bottom of the hole when it rains. An alternative to caulking would be to drill a smaller weep hole in the bottom of each hole that the rebar goes into.

Great job Mike! How deep did you go into the 2” x 4” board with the rebar? I’m just wondering if I can get away with only going an 1.25” into the 4” x 4”s. I’m going to do the rebar vertical.

You should be totally fine going that route👍

Like the project but if I had a dog large enough to destroy regular pet gates I would stick the dog outside or at someone else’s house lol.

@@WoodshopMike yes because I also have a customer who has a large German Shepard that keeps destroying gates and that’s how I came about your video. I was thinking 1 inch also but wanted to ask

You do some nice work. But after watching a few of your vids, I'm haven't noticed much in the way of "How to". Mostly just "Watch me". Just my 2 cents.

@WoodshopMike Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the complements! Yeah, I can see how it's a bit of a "Watch Me Work" style. Tying to keep it informative without being too slow. Take care!

Not trying to be a prick or anything but… Instead of the little cutaways to you explaining what you are doing, try a voice over. This way you are not interrupting the flow of the video. Use the cutaways for big stuff. Major screwups or design changes. As of right now I wouldn’t sub but with minor changes I may. Have a great day.
