- Today we made a swinging parallelogram actuating baby gate! (It swings and also moves up and down is the simple description.) We used ash for this build and finished with danish oil and wipe on polyurethane.

So happy to have this beautiful gate, LOVE it!!
Humbling to watch that craftsmanship. Nice job.
The expression on the baby's face at 6:04 when he comes to check progress is priceless. It reminded me so much of my little girl who loved to climb, and expressed equal outrage at her freedom of mobility being challenged by a blockade!!!
We're past that stage now, but it's a great project and it came out looking really great. Thanks for taking the time to make and post it.

Jeff Correia Thanks for watching Jeff. 6:04 is my wife's favorite part too, so cute!
Hi Tyler, this is really impressive. I have a 5 month old and am starting to look for solutions and this is awesome!
I'm a grandparent without stairs but your video was enjoyable and your build process is interesting to watch. Nice that you gave credit to Matthias as he is a pretty ingenious guy too. Keep up the good work!
Bill Noe Thanks for the kind words Bill. I like to give credit where its due, not my idea! Matthias does have brilliant ideas, going to build his jointer before too long...looking forward to that.
Wow, Tyler. Bravo on the baby gate! This is SERIOUSLY cool! Makes me wanna get back out in the shop & build one...
Mike Rogne Thanks Mike, this is definitely one of my all time favorite projects! Thanks for watching.
Mate, That is a fantastic baby gate.
Nicely done Tyler. The finish came out beautiful and the latching mechanism is perfect.

Anthony Tobias Thanks Anthony!
Great work Tyler!
Average Guy Woodworking Thanks for watching!
awesome job n very clean job
Thanks Man!
Very Nice Work....
This video was the starting point to inspire my baby gate. Fortunately/unfortunately, between then and last week when I started building it, I had to travel for work, made my memory a little fuzzy with bourbon, etc. I had forgotten your diagonal pieces intended to limit travel, and instead built my stops into the center section of each rail by cutting 90° stops for one side of each upright, and a 30° range of motion on the other side. There was a lot of swearing when I double checked your video just now over extra time and effort spent reinventing the wheel, but I was able to justify buying a new jig saw, and it has a little bit of my touch on it now.
That baby was watching you hard. He knew you were stopping his play time on the stairs. Lol
Looking good, Tyler. The stain really matches the staircase, and the "latching" mechanism is completely hidden.
wordsnwood Thanks for watching! The stain matched better than I though it wood, oak stairs and ash gate, but those species are very similar.
***** I'm told that Ash was traditionally known as "Poor Man's Oak", since you could make it look like oak very easily, and it was cheap. With the Emerald Ash Borer issue, that might no longer be true, I don't know about that...
Very nicely done.
Robert Dumesnil Thank you Robert!
Nice job!!
I Like To Make Stuff Thanks Bob, appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I just finished one tank you some much
Great job Tyler! The thinner profiles look really good on the stiles.
AdventuresInDIY Thanks Chris, definitely on of my favorite projects to date....very rewarding!
Nicely done. Nice finish too. I do like that red mahogany stain.
Mark Lindsay Red mahogany is our favorite, we have that on trim, stairs, beds and all sorts of stuff. Thanks for watching Mark!
Hahaha! Nice build, the ash turned out great, and that is one cool kid ;)
finn127 Thanks! He is a good boy and tons of fun!
Long time ago... now that you are past that stage, how did that gate work out? any problems you found? was the kid smarter than you thought and learned to open it?
great work and improvement idea :)
Kairat1969 Thanks for the comment!
i used this design but i made a 70'' one. they are way to expensive at the store. like 130+$$ so i make mine out of pallets and stuff from work the only thing i had to buy was the wooden dowell rods. works great. i love the design. so im going to make one for every openening i need.
Nice! Gates are expensive and non of them are quite right for what we are after.
Very nice design.....
Katherine Carroll Thanks Katherine!
I came here hoping i can make something with my drill and handsaw.. not what i was hoping for but good job man looks professional will be keeping this one in mind when i get enough tools.
Luis Cisneros Awesome! Yes this one is a little bit involved but the results are very nice. Thanks for watching!
Really clever, must make an external one to keep dogs in !!!!
Very nice
Thanks for the idea! I just built a gate of this design to keep my dog out of the kitchen. I wish I could share a picture on here. The cross brace idea works great and the gate is solid enough to hold me off the ground.
+turnermhs21 Send me a picture via email...would love to see it. (DIYTyler@gmail.com) So did you use this design or did you come up with it on your own? Thanks for the comment man!
I used this design and changed a few things to fit my needs.
+turnermhs21 Cool man....glad it worked out!
👍
a swinging gate would be nice for outside stairs,
(there are no walls were to screw screws) so dogs or any other kind of animal can't go up the stairs of the house. "that would be awsome".
Woah
Boy has changed ALOT
I need something d
For top of the stairs can you show the one u have for the top of the stairs
It is the same design, just a tad wider.
I like that for my dogs!
It would certainly do the trick! Thanks for watching.
hi this is so cool tyler! are you enterested in helping me build a gate for my living room door? are you located near nyc? or if not, could o take pics and send u, and we figure it out from there? I have a crib panel that I'm trying to use, but my apartment building is slanted so is not working right. ..HELP

عميد أندرسون Thank you!!
The Poly you used over the Danish Oil, is it oil based? Did you have to wait until the Danish Oil was completely dry before applying the Poly?
+Louis Roulain Yes the Poly was oil based. I believe I waited two days before applying, although I have done it in less time in the past. I have also put water based poly over danish oil but for that you want to make sure it's properly cured. Thanks for watching Louis!
Baby stuff!!! :)
Matthew Cremona You are going to get to know baby stuff real, real well!
Tyler, what size lumber are you using?
+Mark Maue This was all custom dimension from the lumber mill. You can find a full material list here diytyler.com/2014/03/04/parallelogram-baby-gate-actuating-gate/ Thanks for watching!
Have your kids tried to open it? If so, have you figured out a way to prevent that?
By the time they are old enough to open it they can safely take the stairs so we are not worried about it. Thanks for watching!
wow
Nice build. They will soon will found the solution for the door :)
pmenegatos They always do don't they! Thanks for watching.
Nice job Tyler! But you've got to get the tracking on that bandsaw fixed!
Tony Watson Thanks Tony! I actually just finished completely refurbishing that band saw and am getting rid of it now as I came across a 14" to replace it. Thanks for watching!
I got a big one, but I kept the other for doing small jobs with a thin blade.
Tony Watson I have thought about keeping both but I don't really want to sacrifice the room and I would rather have the money to buy other tools!
nice, but wasn't the reason for parallel gate to store it against the diagonal wall of stairs? otherwise, any regular baby gate for about $40 bucks wouldve worked here.
We didn't want to swing into the stairs. What is the fun in a $40 baby gate?!
Nice but the rails need to be closer to each ether ! For the baby’s safety
They are closer together than code requires, camera messes with the view
grieat project
احمد العمري Thank you sir!
Great job. Give us a family introduction video. I would like to meet your family.
+Dave Harrington Thanks Dave....might include everybody one of these days! Thanks for watching.
Great work Tyler!
Sebastian ocaño Thanks Sebastian!
