Another pet barrier. This one hidden when not in use by the fortuitous existence of a set of interior double doors that were always left open anyway.
To employ the barrier, you merely reach behind the swing-door where the tilt-down barrier was stored in an upright position located between the wall and the swing-door.
Held in place by means of a simple shaft upon which the panel would rotate down.
When stored, the Oak Veneer Plywood on either side of the barrier-panel would hold it in position, protecting the wall and the door that opened and hid it.
Obviously, these photos were taken before the Oak Veneer Panel and associated Oak Plywood & Trim pieces were finished to match the other woodwork.
The barrier-panel was basically a custom-sized hollow-core door manufactured for us by B.J. Door manufacturing in Oregon City.
This would allow even the most petite of individuals to navigate the panel up or down with the greatest of ease.
A couple strips of ¾” Oak and a slice of Plexiglas comprise the strike into which the panel sat when used as a barrier.
Another classy solution in our ever evolving efforts to manage certain boundaries for our furry friends.
