Those are some really nice gates. I like the design. Good job!

Wow! Those are really elegant looking and great craftmanship. Wish I had your inspiration for these last year when I needed to build one. Thanks for the share.

Very nice work, looks like you did a good job scribing that mount to the wall, too. Mind if I ask where you picked up that hinge? I have to make a baby gate soon, too.

The hinges are brass piano hinges I cut to length. The scribe was a challenge, I used MDF first to make a template then did the mounts in the shop. I used a poly glue as well as screws to attach them.

Looks great in your existing space. Nice design and build.

Very nicely done!

These do look great. I would like to see how they sit fully opened…....................

The last picture is one of the gates fully opened.

The finished up looking exceptional. Well done.

Awesome! Very nice stair gates on my favorites now.

I really like them and probably will copy your design to keep my 6 months old son away from stairs danger.

Could you please share some construction details? wood thickness, hinges etc.

the frame is 3/4 thick and the panels are 1/2. Normal frame and panel construction although I added some dominos in the dado holding the frames. I made full 1/2 panels and routed the design using a circle as my marker. The hinge is a piano hinge cut to size.

Scott,

simple, elegant, and well done!
