Difficulty: Easy to moderate The pieces assemble easily, but the trim must be custom-cut

Whether it keeps his muzzle away from the dinner table or stops him from getting underfoot during parties, a dog gate is a handy tool for setting proper boundaries for your pooch. And it certainly doesn't have to look like a dreary chain-link fence. This handsome piece, made from oak and finished with nontoxic tung oil, can stand proudly in any room in the house. (You can also paint, stain, or shellac yours, if you prefer.) Check out the full instructions to see how senior technical editor Mark Powers put it together.

Plan to make one of these? Show us the finished project and you could be featured in This Old House magazine
