Brainstorming ideas for interior dog gate
I have dog that I would like to confine to our laundry room which leads to the garage. She's a jumper, and destructive. Unfortunately, she hurts herself when in a crate.
My laundry room has a 30 inch door frame/opening, but I really don't want to put an actual door in there. I cannot do a pocket door either (which was my first plan).
Ideally, I'd like to find a 48" or taller lightweight metal baby gate and just be able to hang it in the opening to keep her in there. Store the gate in the garage, hang it up when we leave. But I can't find a gate that tall.
Does anyone have any ideas? What could I repurpose to fit this opening? Ideally it would be removable, and light enough for my wife to hang it up or secure it.

You can buy something like this - each panel comes apart: http://www.amazon.com/MidWest-Exercise-Door-48-Inch-Black/dp/B003ZBXR4M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1406467058&sr=8-5&keywords=dog+pen+48%22 And then use eye hooks/biners to clip it in for the day. I use it to keep my dogs away from the furnace and water pump when they're in my laundry room.
Actually, that's a great idea. Except I can chop up the dog crate and use that. She won't go in the crate, and this give me a use for it.
Cool! Glad I could help!
