I would like to build a simple pet gate for a six foot opening. It is for my front porch, so it needs to be somewhat wheather resistent. My dogs are large; German Shepherds. So it needs to be tall enough to be effective. However, the gate will not be used to contain the dogs unattended. Just need something for when we are all lounging on the porch on lazy summer days.
Any advice?
Six feet WIDE! lolol
It is for where the steps are.
I guess I should have been more precise.
6 feet? are u sure, u want it to be that big? i mean... 6 feet. I'm not 6 feet tall!
Keep in mind that your dogs WILL crawl their way out, if they want to get out.
Now assuming we are down to a couple feet high, 1.5 feet wide should be enough.
How about you cut the door on the side or at the center, put a couple of hinges for swivel? ( don't forget to allow a locking mechanism)

San Francisco dog owners hope to sway mayoral race
04.10.11
Dog lovers have formed a public action committee to promote the interests of their four-footed friends, namely align to run free in one of the world's largest urban national parks. And they are m on mayoral candidates to defend their stands on canine affairs.
"We need the dog vote to be a game-changer," said Bruce Wolfe, president of DogPAC, which held a forum attended by several mayoral hopefuls Saturday.
There are an estimated 150,000 dogs in the see, compared with some 108,000 children, according to the San Francisco Civilization for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the 2010 U.S. Census . More than 800,000 people are sandwiched into 7-by-7 rectangular miles(18-by-18-square-kilometers) in the big apple named for St. Francis, patron saint of animals.
As more parents seeking new schools and bring housing costs move out of the city, more straight and gay couples, as well as aging indulge boomers, are choosing canines over kids. San Francisco is well-known for its dog parks and, like Paris, many of its restaurants and shops allowed pampered pooches in their leopard-print sweaters and bling-ringed dog collars.
Today, pet gates are available in numerous designs, styles and colors. Even if you are looking for a specific type like a wide pet gate you still have multiple options to choose from, which can be quite challenging. Wide gates for pets can be broadly classified into three types and let's have a brief look at the pros and cons of each type to make your choice easier.
The gates are provided with pressure screws at each end. Pressure is then applied to these pressure screws to hold the gates in position beside solid surfaces like walls or the door frames. They are used in between the rooms and to safe door ways and the bottom of the staircase.
Nevertheless, if you prefer something that is very easy to set up and dismantle then pressure mounted gates are the right ones. Wide gates that are pressure mounted wipe out completely if removed without leaving any lasting stain or gap or a crack on walls. They are utilized in-between bedrooms, living rooms or to block the doorway so as to contain your pet inside the gate. But you cannot utilize it on the stairs as it is not considered safe because of the nature of the pressure mounted wide gate used for pet.
This method involves hardware equipments to fix a gate. Holes have to be drilled on walls or doorways in order to fix the rising brackets that keep the gate secured.
Hardware mounted wide gates are very stable up to about 72 inches in width, beyond which it might need additional support like a T-bar to make it adequately stable. With these additional support and gate extensions there is no limitation to the width of a fixed mounted pet gate.
For such a variety called free standing wide gate, there are variety of designs to pick from. The most commonly used or the very popular one in this category is the pet gate with the T-bar fitted gates. The multiple panel gates, available nowadays are zigzag patterned to suit ones choice.
Here the width is limited by how far the panels can be extended without compromising the stability of the wide pet gate.
