How To Build A Modern Baby Gate

[@kaj661]

So many little tricks here I wouldn't have thought to do, thank you!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Glad I could help. I have some wall art like these that will be coming up soon. I appreciate the support.

Looks great but it can work as a ladder for little ones that start to walk. Mine (5) did it on the crib! But I guess that yo already learned it after these years.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I only have dog, but yes I could see a little one trying to climb this. Good call out.

[@prysemullenax]

Thanks for the video. Just finished building two. They look amazing

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Glad to hear.

[@drewbaker2418]

thanks for the video. I made one of these and love it. I left one gap larger than others so our cat could walk through. we are using the gate to keep our puppy out of our kids room.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Sounds like a good modification, I'm glad that it worked for your needs.

[@wagnerluis764]

Simple, beauty and useful project ! 👏👏👏👏... !

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@dawnc5355]

I love your tutorials and this design.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you very much.

[@BleylDev]

This is awesome. Thanks for posting this!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thanks for your support.

Nice build! I think I might use this for my new pup. She's a bit of an escape artist, and the cheapo gates from walmart aren't cutting it.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

That's What I used the gate for. Not really great for babies that climb but it works well for dogs.

[@Riimmdogg]

Good pattern design, I would add a extra timber baton to the wall where you have screwed directly in as iot offers more stability and does not rely on your screws falling out.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

That's a great suggestion, Luckily I had a stud to go into and it keeps the lines of the wall clean.

[@lizhazelrig9442]

Using this for the steps.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Yes maybe for babies is not the best practice.

[@mattsteuber9569]

Probably going to build something like this this weekend. Can I ask why you rip off the rounded edges of the 2x2? For aesthetics I assume? Or is there some other reason? Looks great, fun design.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I did it for the aesthetics, yes. The rounded sided don't make a nice looking joint, in my opinion. Good luck with your build!

[@gdgo6166]

great work, can you tell me what size of wood screw did you use for binding 2x2s? the one that I tried was very prone to split the wood even though I pre-drilled the hole :(

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

They are a #8 screw 2 1/2" long. Make sure you get the small headed screws.

[@leadminer4957]

It's interesting that you didn't appear to use any glue on the joints. Was there any reason for that decision? Nice design and good video, thanks !

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

You can absolutely use glue on the joints.

The bby become toddler and will be climbing up that only good for a year if that but lovely job for pets

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

I agree. Maybe "baby" gate may be the incorrect wording. I do appreciate your support though.

[@gabrieljones6218]

my dogs would run through that gate

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Small dogs or really big ones? I have a rat terrier (15lbs) and a pit bull (90lbs) and it does well for those size ranges at least.

[@EeveeLO6]

Thanks

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your support!

[@PaganWizard]

Buying 2x4's or 2x6's would probably save you a little $$$ and you'll have an easier time finding straight lumber.

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Absolutely good options. I appreciate the input.

[@timwild3460]

Love the design and it will work great for a dog and baby. For a toddler they will be able to climb this far too easily. So for safety reasons I would be concerned to use this design. Great work though !

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you! I would agree with toddlers being able to climb this. Obviously I would recommend everyone evaluates their own situation to determine what is best for them.

Do you know why I am subscribing to your channel? because for normal people like me who are looking for something I need and find it for free on youtube made for people who want to do it, record it, edit it and upload it with the hope of receiving a good amount and acceptance like you, and me seeing that you only have 48 subscribers, I don't think it's fair. By the way to all this you uploaded this video exactly last year on my birthday hehe, that's why. Greetings!

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Thank you very much. it is greatly appreciated.
