Solid Sliding Pocket Gate – Custom Interior Pet & Baby Room Divider

Create a cleaner, more finished look between rooms with our handcrafted Solid Wood Sliding Interior Gate. Designed with a full solid panel instead of an open-style construction, this custom wood gate offers a substantial, door-like appearance while still providing the convenience of a smooth sliding design.

Each gate is made to order in our Ohio woodshop and built to complement the surrounding space rather than look like a temporary barrier. It works beautifully in doorways, hallways, room transitions, pet areas, and other interior openings where you want separation without taking up valuable floor space.

Unlike a traditional hinged gate that swings into the room, this design slides neatly alongside the opening when not in use.

• Full solid-panel construction
• Handcrafted from real wood
• Custom widths and heights available
• Space-saving sliding operation
• Ideal for pet containment and interior room separation
• Multiple stain, paint, and natural finish options
• Hardware included
• Optional locking hardware available

⚒️ HOW THE GATE WORKS

The solid wood panel mounts across an interior opening and travels horizontally rather than swinging outward.

When closed, the full panel creates a clean visual barrier between spaces.

When opened, the gate slides out of the main walkway, helping keep doorways and high-traffic areas clear.

This design works especially well in:

• Hallways
• Doorways
• Kitchen entrances
• Living room transitions
• Pet areas
• Mudrooms
• Laundry room entrances
• Home offices
• Bedrooms
• Other interior openings

⸻

🌟 CUSTOM MADE FOR YOUR HOME

Every Solid Wood Sliding Interior Gate is built individually in our shop.

Choose from:

• Natural wood finishes
• Painted finishes
• Stained finishes
• Custom widths
• Custom heights
• Optional locking hardware

Because this model uses a full wood panel, natural grain patterns become an important part of the finished appearance and make every gate unique.

🏡 A MORE FINISHED ALTERNATIVE TO TEMPORARY PET BARRIERS

Plastic pressure gates and temporary barriers can stand out in an otherwise finished home.

Our solid wood design is intended to feel more like a permanent architectural feature.

The continuous panel creates a more substantial appearance and can also reduce direct visibility between separated areas, making it especially useful for homes with dogs or pets that become excited when they can see activity on the other side of a barrier.

⸻

🚚 PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

Every gate is handcrafted after your order is placed.

Current estimated production time for custom gates is approximately:

4–10 weeks

Production time can vary depending on current shop volume, customization, size, and finish.

Many larger or fragile products are transported using individual carriers or hand-delivery routes to reduce the risk of shipping damage.

Because these are made-to-order wood products, our priority is building your gate properly rather than rushing production.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is this gate made from real wood?

Yes. Each gate is handcrafted from real wood and will naturally display variations in grain, color, texture, knots, and character.

⚠️ INSTALLATION NOTICE

Our sliding gates are designed to float approximately 1.75 inches above the floor.

This clearance is necessary for proper operation.

The gate should not be installed resting directly on the floor. Improper mounting can interfere with movement and may cause the gate to operate incorrectly.

Please carefully follow the supplied installation instructions.

Problems caused by incorrect installation are not considered manufacturing defects.

⸻

🎨 ANTIQUE WHITE & LIGHT FINISH NOTICE

A reference image of our Antique White finish may be included with the listing.

Because wood is a natural material, very light stains and white-toned finishes can vary noticeably depending on grain and absorption.

Antique White may appear warmer, creamier, or more wood-toned than a solid bright-white painted surface.

Exact color matching cannot be guaranteed.

⸻

🪵 HANDCRAFTED WOOD PRODUCT NOTICE

All Stumps Custom Wood products are individually handcrafted and are not mass-produced.

Natural variations may include:

• Wood grain differences
• Knots
• Texture variation
• Color variation
• Differences in stain absorption
• Small characteristics associated with handcrafted woodworking

These features are normal characteristics of real wood and make each piece unique.

Minor cosmetic variations associated with handmade construction may occur. Every product is expected to remain structurally sound and built for long-term use.

If a structural problem occurs, please contact us so we can evaluate the issue and determine the appropriate repair or replacement.

⸻

📏 ORDER ACCURACY
