We have recently been doing some renovations outside since we got our pool up! We were needing a solution to keep our little one from accessing it so we placed banisters around the entire back porch. However, this baby gate is perfect for any area you are needed to restrict your little ones access. Inside or outside!
Start off by measuring the amount of space you need the gate to fit to determine the amount of lumber you will need.
For example: our gate is 40” wide and 36” high. It took 2 boards 2x4 that were each 8ft long.
Next cut your boards to the desired length that you will need. Make sure your angles will meet up correctly for the 4 boards to form your frame work.
This is what your frame work should look like! Everything should mount up nice and flush. Secure them together by using wood screws and a drill. We placed one through the top and one they the sides.
After you secure your framing together you may secure the banisters to the frame work.
We purchased these banisters from Lowes home improvements. You can buy them in a bundle pack or purchase individually.
This is what the banisters should look like once you secure them one by one to the frame work. Place a screw through the top front and bottom front to secure it well.
Space for our banisters was especially important so you will need to determine how much spacing between each you would like.
We made this great tool to help insure the proper spacing between each banisters. They are about 3 1/2”
apart.
We placed a screw in the end of a scrap piece of wood to hang between each and just move it along as you go.
We then placed it between each banister before securing it to the frame to ensure they were all equal spacing.
Next it’s time to mount your gate in place and

We just finished our back porch and wanted to add a porch swing, but all the ones we were looking at were very expensive! So, I had this brilliant idea to convert our son’s crib to a porch swing. We used our dining room chairs and couch arms as reference as how high to go, 17 inches in the back and 10 inches on the side. We used 1x3 to cap the arm rests and 1x3’s for back support. And to cap off the top. We used 2x4’s to put on the bottom for support and to extend them past each side of the crib and put a hole in it to put the rope to hang it! We had to find the rafters on our covered porch and put two rings to hang it! Check it out!
