01 Choose your closest listed width
02 Choose your closest listed height
03 Enter your exact finished size

Example: need a 38″ wide × 24″ high gate? Select 36″ width and 24″ height above, then enter 38 × 24 below. If your gate needs dimensions substantially outside the listed options, message us for a custom quote.

Measuring tip: Measure the opening width, then subtract approximately ½″–1″ to allow room for hinges and latch clearance. Enter the resulting finished gate width, not the full opening width. For standard checkout, use ⅛-inch increments; any measurement can be included in a custom quote request. Clearance depends on the hardware and mounting location; if unsure, message us before ordering.

04 Choose a finish direction

Standard checkout finishes: Dark Walnut, Honey Maple, White Paint, and Black Paint. Any other stain or custom finish is available by quote. You will not need to enter a delivery address to request a quote.

Stain colors are photographed from our real sample chart. White Paint and Black Paint are shown as color swatches, not photos of completed gates.

Know what you're ordering

Real woodwork. Clear expectations.

Most gates are custom-made, so exact specifications, production timing, final price, and shipping are confirmed before you pay.

1. Choose a pricing tier

Select the listed size closest to the gate you need, then give us the exact finished measurements. For sizes outside those options, request individual pricing.

2. We review the details

We'll check dimensions, finish, and your U.S. shipping destination. Mounting hardware is included for you to install. Standard size-tier prices include shipping within the contiguous 48 states; Alaska and Hawaii are quoted separately.

3. Order or ask first

Standard-size orders can use secure Stripe checkout once activated. Nonstandard sizes use a no-charge quote request.

Safety: These are pet gates and are not certified for infant or toddler containment or stair safety. The installation photograph is an example of craftsmanship, not a safety certification.

Before you request

Helpful answers.

How should I choose a size?

Select the closest listed tier, then enter your exact finished dimensions. For example, choose 36″ W × 24″ H and request 38″ W × 24″ H. For typical hinge and latch clearance, measure your opening and subtract approximately ½″–1″ from its width to determine the gate width. Hardware requirements may vary, so ask if you are unsure.

What if my gate needs to be much larger or smaller?

If your dimensions are substantially outside our listed options, message us for a custom quote. For sizes near a listed option, choose the closest tier and enter your exact finished dimensions.

When will it ship?

Production takes several weeks for most made-to-order gates. We ship within the United States only; standard-size prices include a shipping allowance for the contiguous 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii and unusual oversized gates need a separately confirmed shipping quote.

Can I pay online?

Standard pet gates have a secure checkout option once the store activates payments. If that option is unavailable, you can request a custom quote without paying.

Can I use these as baby gates?

These listings are for pet-use products and are not offered as certified infant or toddler gates.
