Animal Smiley 036 Today's Project

A new doggy gate of sorts. The girls stay in the sunroom when unsupervised. Well my daddy is older and bless his heart, has fell several times by tripping over the wooden gate we had up. So Mom & I saw this idea on Pinterest. I'm not sure how many of you use Pinterest but it is fabulous!

Anyways, I took scrap fabric and made a basic panel. I added the casings on the top and bottom for the tension rods to go through. My dad used a drill bit to drill into the wood just a tad so the rods have a place to rest on. I know they are tension rods but no matter how tight you get them they still can slide. This step prevents that. So now it matches our Alabama themed 'fan cave' and is easier for people to step over. Much more affordable than the gates you can get that have the little door. And personalized to your space. I just wanted to share. I thought some might could use this in their homes. It was super simple!
