[100-Yen Shop DIY] Baby Gate Using Multi Panels

I tried making a DIY baby gate using 100-yen store items [7 months old]

Are you familiar with the “free multi-panel” sold at 100-yen shops? It’s a wire frame with opaque panels attached, and you can connect the panels with joints to combine them into any shape you like.

The panels don’t stand on their own, so you finish it by attaching bookends to the panels with double-sided tape to make them stand upright.

A nice feature is that you can fold the panels accordion-style, so you can adjust the size depending on where you place it, and fold it up for storage when not in use.

[Foldable] Baby Gate for Stairs

[DIY Baby Gate] For stairs that older kids can pass through! Easy to make with a wooden slat panel and Diai Wall—how to attach the lock learned from failures. Space‑saving and smooth traffic flow | baby gate in front of stairs

Many households probably want to install a baby gate on the stairs.

However, depending on the shape of the stairs, it can be hard to attach a gate or find one that fits perfectly.

So here’s an idea: turn a wooden slatted panel (sunoko) into a door to create a custom-fit gate at the top of your stairs.

The slatted door is made from two panels joined so they can fold, keeping it compact when open.

To place posts exactly where you need them, use “DiaWall,” a tension-fit part for lumber.

Try making a baby gate sized perfectly for your home.

[Burn Prevention] Stove Guard

In winter, many households use stoves or fan heaters.

Something that adults could use without issue may suddenly require a stove guard once a baby arrives.

Here’s an idea for making a DIY stove guard sized to fit your home’s stove.

It’s just a matter of arranging wood in a lattice pattern and assembling it with screws, but sourcing the lumber can be a hassle.

If you don’t have tools, carefully measure the dimensions and have the pieces cut at a home improvement store—that’s recommended.

Be sure to sand everything thoroughly so it’s safe for little hands to grab.

[DIY with Cardboard] Baby Gate with Storage

[DIY with cardboard] Handmade baby gate with storage / Easy and budget-friendly to make♪

Here’s an idea for a baby gate made from cardboard that also doubles as storage.

Since plain cardboard doesn’t look great, you can apply makeover sheets or cushion sheets to the surface.

If you attach all the cardboard pieces into a single gate, it’ll be heavy and hard to move, so make it in sections and place something heavy inside, like water-filled plastic bottles, to act as weights.

Because it’s made of cardboard, it’s easy to remake if it breaks, and while serving as a baby gate, it also creates space to store your child’s toys and picture books.
