I do alot of work in my garage. I'd like to be able to let my dogs in the garage with me but since I open the door to let the air flow through, they always wander out the garage and into the street. My garage is impossible to be in without opening the door because of the heat so I want to come up with some type of barricade that will close off the bottom 3 or 4 feet of the garage. Kinda like a baby-gate except that my garage door is 16 feet wide. The first thing that comes to mind is using 2 panels of plastic latice framed in some manner that they can be attached to each other then attached to the garage door frame. This presents a storage problem though since these things have to be moved all the time to let the car in and out. Does anyone have any ideas?

I want to keep my dog out of the kitchen and my cats out of my son's room and am wondering if a sonic barrier will do the trick.

I am about to get a new Prius and I was wondering who has used and installed a dog barrier? Are there any ready-made hard or soft barriers that are known to work with the Prius? I am not sure if I am putting the back seats down yet. I have a medium size dog. Thanks!
