Should have made it longer so it would have more strength when fully extended, you can see it's flimsy once opened. Not much metal left in the PVC tubes once the gate is opened.
I saw that too. He also needs some sort of catch, rather than just let it dangle like that. It might be cool to go with a magnetic one. You could have a strong neodymium magnet indented into the 2×4 and a steel strip embedded in the edge of the gate.
It's great for big dogs. But when I look at it I see my Chihuahuas walking right through it. I had one that could walk through a 3 inch square in the gate!

I would install a roller/ wheel at the bottom that can also tuck into the wall so you have a smoother open and close, also this will help with the drop when opening the gate.
@@JonathanHancoc Doesn't deserve credit! Honestly, most women would just buy or already have a baby gate which would be infinitely better than this garbage.
There should be like a little wheel on the bottom of the gate’s corner to support it- it could be like 5 inches in so you can’t see it while it’s flush in the wall
If possible, make pipe and the pins longer, that way it sags less in the closed position. The amount of sag lets it look like it won't hold a lot of force.
@@riccardopabjorn9680 would still have some sag when nearly completely out due to the difference between inner diameter of outer pipe and outer diameter of inner pipe. And that difference is needed to allow it to move.
Unless the tubes inside the wall were pitched slightly upward, the gate is naturally gonna sag a bit when completely extended to the opposite side of the doorway. But if the tubes WERE pitched slightly upward, the flat end of that gate wouldn't lie flat against the door frame when "open", or pushed away. Unless of course there were ten other nit picky things done while building it... But for it's intended purpose, this plan is perfect.
This is a great idea. I have 4 inside dogs that like to rush the front door. I have a baby gate up right now. I would add a pocket on the others side of the wall with magnets so prevent it from sagging.
Hmmm...my dog isn't a jumper, but if he was - this would help him get over it in a heartbeat. There is a reason dog gates have vertical rails, not horizontal ones. :-)

My dad built kennels in the front hallway as part of the house. We moved and in the next house our dog just walked into this front hall closet cuz thats where his cage used to generally be in the other house. I tried to coax him out of there on the first day but it became his new spot. Just so funny to see him laying at the bottom of the closet every morning.
my service dog is like this, kinda. he slept under me when i slept in a hammock, and when i got an actual bed, he still sleeps in the same spot under the bed.
How many hours did that take? From analysis, drawing board, design, engineering, sourcing materials, transportation, construction, installation, and final inspection? How much is your TIME worth? What else could you have done with that time? From start to finish I’d say that’s a two to three day job, including the custom framing all around that. People don’t think about those “little things” that slow you down, like the return trips to the store, or the proper permit & plan check for the new framing around that little thing. Is that some out-of-the-box unit OR did he have to design, source, weld it, paint it, or powder coat it? I hope he used aluminum. If construction and handy projects is your thing then great! You’ve got the tools and workshop to save time. But for those that don’t have the tools…what is your time worth?
The get yourself a A4 sheet of paper and an envelope, and swiftly pull it out of the envelope when someone opens the gate. Push it back in when gate is being closed...... because that's what the sound effects guy used. 😂😂😂😂
You don't because when you did this idiocy you didn't think that far ahead and consider why you were originally told your idea is going to cost a lot. This was torn out a couple of days later guaranteed.

There is no way this gate saved him any money. I like the way it looks but I'd like to see some sort of a locking mechanism on the opposite side. And good luck building your door jamb or wall around that
Yes. That is one of the smartest freakin ideas I’ve ever had. As that house has generations living in it, they will always have a dog gate or baby gate.

Kool idea . Prob cost a bit more than a dog gate but def looks better and a lot better quality that will last for many generations of dogs . I think it’s be kool to make it on some type of roller system so you have a nice smooth level open and close but I guess if your going to have finished Dallas you’d want to make it as simple as u can so you don’t have to open up a wall to replace parts when they wear.
@@nukacola3795 for one the pipes should have been longer and for 2 there should be a recess or magnetic plate on the opposite wall to support/latch it
I'd make it with vertical rods instead of horizontal because dogs can climb and so can tiny humans. And it put it on easy close hardware. Very cool to have one build in though! I like it!
I want to see how he connected the rods to the plate on the end. Also how did he keep everything aligned perfectly? I know how to do it but not everyone has a CNC milling machine in their garage.
Damn I hate nothing more than reading all the negativity thrown out from all these miserable people.

Yes...licensed contractor/cabinetmaker, now retired , have built damn near everything ever made with wood....this is a lame-ass doggy door, poorly executed craftsmanship, and I thank you for wasting my time on this reply, as well.
I've built many things in my life. I'm always impressed when somebody takes the time to use some ingenuity and do something themselves. This however was not thought through completely. There isn't a toddler in the world that's going to be stopped by this gate and neither will most dogs. He's created a ladder that actually poses a health risk to small children. The first thing they're going to want to do is climb those ladder rungs and they're definitely going to fall off and hurt themselves. I have three kids and none of them would have been kept anywhere by this gate past the age of 1 1/2
That's one of the better versions I've seen. Most have just punched a bunch of holes in a single 2x and didn't plan on it folding or cracking after the Sheetrock and other things were added.
@@benjurqunovokay so what did you say with $1,000 on?? A baby gets $30... So we saved $30 spending probably an extra hundred on this wall plus the other f****** materials... He didn't save $1,000 that's for f****** sure
My grandmother was born in the 1880s. Much later my grandfather built her a house with pocket windows. She had a well, the wishing well drop bucket kind in the front yard. I only saw it much later when it had been vacant for years. During those years she lived in an old farmhouse next door to me. She made Hardee’s style biscuits every morning. There was always vinegar with pepper and cucumbers in a bowl on the table.
Build a short pocket door instead, with verticle pipes, no more than 2-1/2 inches apart (baby safe), to placate the naysayers! Good idea, just some evolution in the thought needed!
@@vasicdude9430you wouldn't want to completely close off the walk ways for a variety of reasons. 1. You want to be able to see the baby or dog being held in the other room. 2. Air flow 3. Expense 4. Completely enclosing a hallway with doors can cause confusion during an emergency
Should of used longer pipes.. when fully extended, it drops down and looks like only a few inches are holding it up (even just making the top and bottom pipes long would of helped).... Also I wonder if you could somehow coat the inside of PVC with like Teflon so it glides even smoother
I hope the $1k estimate was the cost of replacing a dog that got loose and ran away because it only cost me ~$40 to build a hinged, and folding dog gate. Would have been much cheaper if I didn't spend the extra $$ for fancy hinges/ hardware, magnetic anchor points, and giving the wood a nice stain. It is a nice setup though.
Love how the panel housing the gate on the door frame sticks out a good 1/3 an inch so you wont be able to properly seat and seal a door on there without another 75 dollar plank of lumber
It's built for a cased opening, I'm guessing that end piece comes off the rods so they pass through the jamb and are then reattached, or how would he place a door jamb in the opening.

I think you need some magnets for maybe like a little metal lip for the bottom of it the rest on the other side just so there's not so much pressure on the side it's coming out of once it's fully extended
I hope Cale can drop a thorough DIY Video! DIY Community needs to be more Accessible! It'll help against the perpetual Excessive Consumerism.
At that moment they fired him and hired a new contractor.
"they" being his wife
Lolol. Another non-builder commenting dumb shit 😂
It’s his house.
If that gate ever broke, you could never fix it without taking the wall apart.
@@AndreAnyoneyes you could.
My dad built kennels in the front hallway as part of the house. We moved and in the next house our dog just walked into this front hall closet cuz thats where his cage used to generally be in the other house. I tried to coax him out of there on the first day but it became his new spot. Just so funny to see him laying at the bottom of the closet every morning.
my service dog is like this, kinda. he slept under me when i slept in a hammock, and when i got an actual bed, he still sleeps in the same spot under the bed.
"Watch me jump high AF boi!" -My dog
😂😂😂😂
Even demonic Chihuahuas can jump that high
@@RobertTapiawhy would they need to jump when they can just walk under the lowest bar ?
How many hours did that take? From analysis, drawing board, design, engineering, sourcing materials, transportation, construction, installation, and final inspection? How much is your TIME worth?
What else could you have done with that time? From start to finish I’d say that’s a two to three day job, including the custom framing all around that. People don’t think about those “little things” that slow you down, like the return trips to the store, or the proper permit & plan check for the new framing around that little thing.
Is that some out-of-the-box unit OR did he have to design, source, weld it, paint it, or powder coat it? I hope he used aluminum.
If construction and handy projects is your thing then great! You’ve got the tools and workshop to save time.
But for those that don’t have the tools…what is your time worth?
I would, but it would have to have that Star Trek door slider noise from back in the day.😅
😂😂😂 swish 😂😂😂
The get yourself a A4 sheet of paper and an envelope, and swiftly pull it out of the envelope when someone opens the gate. Push it back in when gate is being closed...... because that's what the sound effects guy used.
😂😂😂😂
Shwoop is what he’s looking for
🛸 😅
Easily done with some low volt wire and a relay connected to some kind of speaker and a stop switch (i can't recall what it's called rn)
I like it 👍 it’s going to piss off the dry wallers lol
Why would it. Doesn’t effect installation
Very cool and a great idea...but how do you sheetrock and trim around it? Show the final install
You don't because when you did this idiocy you didn't think that far ahead and consider why you were originally told your idea is going to cost a lot. This was torn out a couple of days later guaranteed.
With no sheet rock or areas mud can bond to, will not hold up. Also when it fully extends it drops a bit that will cause issues further on.
I don't think you would sheet Rock it you would trim using all wood with casing around it just like a cased opening
The replies here are not very good people don't understand basic wood working
Wood casing? Natural or paint
It’s great! But to make it silent try using control rods and bearings. Raises the price but smooth and quiet is awesome
I've seen a house with that in it, and it works great. I don't have any place I could put one.
It's very cool. A pocket gate.
he just created climbing bars for the dog 🤣
Great Job Mate - excellent idea and execution is good - arm chair critics can always make improvements but you actually did something they did nothing so keep going Boet
Great a ladder for junior.
drywall guys should be giving small screws. and corner bead advise
Drywall guys in the US need to learn how to plaster and drywall and do a proper job. But you build your house like sheds so 🤷🏻♂️
@@kevinotoole885 like shed’s? 💀😂 US has some of the strictest code when in comes to building. Lmao. Maybe you could ther countries should take some notes lol
@@calilife805 strict building codes doesn't equate to quality tho. And I'm a Union electrician. I'm just saying there's a reason they have buildings still in use that were built 150+yrs ago😁. It's not because they're cheap and won't build something new.
@@samwoods3430 timber frame vs stone whats your pick
Advice
There is no way this gate saved him any money. I like the way it looks but I'd like to see some sort of a locking mechanism on the opposite side. And good luck building your door jamb or wall around that
Is this a dog gate?🤣🤣 if so,my dogs would clear that like nothing..
To be fair, he probably won’t put a door there because if there was a door there would be no need for a gate
@@NG..probably saved the money by not putting a door lol
That's just over the top,.. it's cool when you can add it to the build OF YOUR NEW HOME BEING CUSTOM BUILT!!!! Good for whosever home this is gonna be
After the magnetic strike plate goes on it won’t sag. 😉
Looks like stainless
Damn. I wrote something similar to this posted the read this. Sorry.
After you install quality products and not PVC pipes, it won't sag
@@mikeallosso 😂it’s still magnetic it’s not aluminum
It seems like the smooth inside of the pvc pipe would be fine over time and what need for any magnet.
Yes. That is one of the smartest freakin ideas I’ve ever had. As that house has generations living in it, they will always have a dog gate or baby gate.
4/10/24 🇯🇲 As a construction mom I think this should be built in ALL homes with stairs , most likely there will be a need to use it. Thank you, ❤ it. Respect
What the hell is he looking for after he closes the gate? Just about gives himself whiplash.😂😂😂
This is absolutely one of the most underrated comments I've ever seen! 👌🏽
I'm surprised more people aren't asking about this. Dude looks like he's in a panic to find something behind him
It's fast forwarded
I didn’t even notice 😂😂😂😂
He does have quite the looksee! 😂
Inb4 the dog figures out that the gate is essentially a ladder to freedom
Kool idea . Prob cost a bit more than a dog gate but def looks better and a lot better quality that will last for many generations of dogs . I think it’s be kool to make it on some type of roller system so you have a nice smooth level open and close but I guess if your going to have finished Dallas you’d want to make it as simple as u can so you don’t have to open up a wall to replace parts when they wear.
Drilled holes right through your 3-ply bearing posts too, good job.
Can you not see the header they put in to support the holes they drilled😂😂😂
Tell me you dont know shit without telling me...
You're fired "Trump voice"
@@GinjaNinjaAttakno further observations were made
@@GinjaNinjaAttak still doesn't add back to the structure, just diverts. Still a failure point.
Dog people will put their dogs before human lives; doesn't surprise me that they'll sacrifice structural integrity for a stupid dog gate, too.
He sure moves his head fast at the end
Contractors always be like, "the shit people ask for, man I tell ya- just look at this shit, man"
Facts
And then they charge you as much as possible 😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊
Sweet I'm building a house now and I have dogs ! How did you build this gate it's awesome
Cant wait to have to service it
Not only saved money, it's going to look a whole lot better than one you buy, when finished😊
the one you can buy.... WONT SAG 🤣🤣🤣
Stop the cap
that wouldnt hold a puppy in!
Save money? This is far more expensive and wait till it breaks and you want it replaced.
@@nukacola3795 for one the pipes should have been longer and for 2 there should be a recess or magnetic plate on the opposite wall to support/latch it
I love it and want several. Just make sure to tape it up before the drywall guys f* it up.
I'd make it with vertical rods instead of horizontal because dogs can climb and so can tiny humans. And it put it on easy close hardware. Very cool to have one build in though! I like it!
Use a tighter tolerance receiver tube to eliminate sag
Maybe some ball bearing and a magnetic catch 😂🤪
Or just a wheel on the end to add support. Once it is fully extended, as it’s purpose, the sag is irrelevant.
Do ya think that'll solve an ED problem too? Asking for a friend, of course
Use a magnet on the wood side to help it level up and I'm guessing you'll have a little latch or something. Very cool.
I want to see how he connected the rods to the plate on the end. Also how did he keep everything aligned perfectly? I know how to do it but not everyone has a CNC milling machine in their garage.
Damn I hate nothing more than reading all the negativity thrown out from all these miserable people. Instead of wasting your time online to bash somebody or hate on somebody how about try to see the good or appreciate some ingenuity. I bet everyone who comments something negative hasn't made or built anything in their lives. Cool design man!
Yes...licensed contractor/cabinetmaker, now retired , have built damn near everything ever made with wood....this is a lame-ass doggy door, poorly executed craftsmanship, and I thank you for wasting my time on this reply, as well.
I've built many things in my life. I'm always impressed when somebody takes the time to use some ingenuity and do something themselves. This however was not thought through completely. There isn't a toddler in the world that's going to be stopped by this gate and neither will most dogs. He's created a ladder that actually poses a health risk to small children. The first thing they're going to want to do is climb those ladder rungs and they're definitely going to fall off and hurt themselves. I have three kids and none of them would have been kept anywhere by this gate past the age of 1 1/2
Impressive,genius, practical, Logical
Looks like it would be a perfect ladder for a young child to climb over in order to escape his unexpecting captors.
A poodle would definitely climb that! Should have put in vertical bars
That's one of the better versions I've seen.
Most have just punched a bunch of holes in a single 2x and didn't plan on it folding or cracking after the Sheetrock and other things were added.
Bro why are your walls folding and cracking from their own weight?
Huh??
@@brandondrew4914glad to see I’m not the only one confused
Would love to see the complete construction. This always irks me for some reason.
Nice conception and execution!! A little bit obsessive and overkill - but it’s cool 😅
Last time I bought a baby gate it was like 30.00. Headline should have read, guy spends 1k on in Wall baby gate!
It didn't say it cost 1K$. It said saved over 1k$.
@@benjurqunovokay so what did you say with $1,000 on?? A baby gets $30... So we saved $30 spending probably an extra hundred on this wall plus the other f****** materials... He didn't save $1,000 that's for f****** sure
I said the same thing
@@benjurqunov He didn't save that much because they don't cost that much get it now?
Good baby/ pet gates are $75-125 (Biden's inflation is 🤯). But ya, even the good ones aren't $1000 lol
Show us the finished door.
He didn't leave room for the trim. There doesn't appear to be any plate other than the 2x4. What's he going to do? Drywall around that?
Everything house should be built with this . For kids and pets . Love it
My grandmother was born in the 1880s. Much later my grandfather built her a house with pocket windows. She had a well, the wishing well drop bucket kind in the front yard. I only saw it much later when it had been vacant for years. During those years she lived in an old farmhouse next door to me. She made Hardee’s style biscuits every morning. There was always vinegar with pepper and cucumbers in a bowl on the table.
Build a short pocket door instead, with verticle pipes, no more than 2-1/2 inches apart (baby safe), to placate the naysayers! Good idea, just some evolution in the thought needed!
Until they climb that is
Then he would have to crawl on all 4s to get to the other room.
How about just a door?
I agree a half pocket door would make more sense. That design is just a ladder.
@@vasicdude9430you wouldn't want to completely close off the walk ways for a variety of reasons. 1. You want to be able to see the baby or dog being held in the other room. 2. Air flow 3. Expense 4. Completely enclosing a hallway with doors can cause confusion during an emergency
Looks more like a doggy ladder!
You the only one in the comments who has a dog 😂 children ladder too 🙄
Yes lol
My dog would leap right over that!
Surprised that the inspector passed you.
Why
Yeah, why he even put a header over it? So the wall strength would not be compromised.
Interior wall and probably not load bearing if he did this
Should of used longer pipes.. when fully extended, it drops down and looks like only a few inches are holding it up (even just making the top and bottom pipes long would of helped)....
Also I wonder if you could somehow coat the inside of PVC with like Teflon so it glides even smoother
Innovative and elegant - I love it!
I hope the $1k estimate was the cost of replacing a dog that got loose and ran away because it only cost me ~$40 to build a hinged, and folding dog gate. Would have been much cheaper if I didn't spend the extra $$ for fancy hinges/ hardware, magnetic anchor points, and giving the wood a nice stain.
It is a nice setup though.
Love how the panel housing the gate on the door frame sticks out a good 1/3 an inch so you wont be able to properly seat and seal a door on there without another 75 dollar plank of lumber
...Do you seriously think a door is going there?
It's probably just a drywalled opening.
It's built for a cased opening, I'm guessing that end piece comes off the rods so they pass through the jamb and are then reattached, or how would he place a door jamb in the opening.
That'll be fun to get your drywall and casing onto. Totally looks like you accounted for the drywall, mud, and wood /s
That is awesome! Add air powered slide that can be both button and cell phone controlled. That would be sick.
Why wood you even think about air when you could use a couple electric actuators. No air compressor that's noisy and will leak for sure.
A grand on what, what was supposed to go there, I would say 150 in drywall and marerials
He essentially made a ladder for the dogs to climb over to enter the room.
Had one...kept my kids safe and when they didn't need it anymore kept our friends babies safe.
That's was a cool built ,sir.❤
Number 1, dogs will find a way they always do.
Number 2, who the right mind pays 1k for a dog gate
😂🤦♂️
