Actually, I found a wonderful ready-made ferret gate at Meijers of all places. It's called the "Clear Choice Gate". It's a tension-mounted gate, so it's perfect for renters (like us) because you don't have to put any holes in the wall. Instead of the mesh that most gates have, it has two clear (well, slightly frosted) panels. It stands about 2 feet high, which is high enough for my guys, but those of you with jumpers may need to put a tube on top, or stack two gates. It also doesn't have any large space on the sides. The clearance between the gate and the wall is less than 1/4 inch. It's a little expensive ($19.99), but for me it was worth it to not have to make something. My guys LOVE being able to see out now, and they're much happier, because we can give them a larger area for playtime. (We're in SE Michigan, so the stores in your area may or may not carry it.)
