LARGE dog gate/room barrier ideas…?

I have 3 Great Danes and a small problem. My living room is pretty open – no doors that separate it from the other rooms (2 doorways, about 5′ across). I can’t keep the dogs off the couch while i’m at work, so when i come home, there’s slobber and fur all over! i love my dogs to death, but i’ve just about had it! I’m not going to crate them (i have a "what if there’s a fire" fear). I’d like to keep them out of the room entirely, so i guess what i really need is some sort of "barrier" that will block them from the living room. does anyone have any ideas? I’ve looked at pet stores and they have baby-gate looking things but 1.) they’re not wide enough to go from wall to wall and 2.) they’re way too short (one of the danes can jump a 4 foot fence!). Please give me any and all creative ideas (and no, i’m not getting rid of them! haha).
Although my main goal is to keep them out of the room entirely, the slipcover idea isn’t all that bad…. anyone know where i can get a slipcover for a semi-circle sectional???
Thanks so much ilovemurphie for the links. My problem is that they’re only about 22" high… and my danes are almost 40" at the shoulder (one can jump a 4′ fence…) These would just be a hurdle for them! =)
Pam – thanks for the answer. I was talking HEIGHT, not WIDTH. My dogs are very tall, and while the floor may or may not support the gate, there is a bar that goes under the gate itself, and it would be a pain to high-step that everytime i went in/out of the room.

any ideas on an extra extra wide baby/pet gate?

I’m searching for an extra wide baby or pet gate to seperate our kitchen and living room. 81 1/2 inch wide opening. I can’t use any mesh because of our 3 dogs and I’d prefer something with a swing door. Anyone have any ideas? I’d prefer not to spend a ton, but I’ve got a feeling I’ll end up going of 0 dollars. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Where can I find a "pet gate" that stands at least 4 feet tall?

We have a pet gate, about 2 feet tall, but our dog can jump over it when we are gone, and he goes in the living room, messes on the carpet, etc… We put him outside before leaving, he just gets mad at us for leaving him alone… Anyway, he learned to jump over the gate and I don’t want a shock collar! So, I was wondering, if there’s a really tall "pet gate", about 4 feet tall ( I’m sure that’ll do)

Thank you very much!

Suggestions for extra wide pet gates.?

We recently were blessed with two infant grandchildren and have 3 energetic dogs at our house. I am hoping to buy or build a black iron structure to keep the pets out of our living room. The opening is 5 foot. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

Are there any baby gates (pet gates maybe) that can block off an 8' area?

I have been looking and I don’t really want to wall mount anything in my living room. My baby is almost 1 year old and I’d like to have something that I can easily take down and reposition depending where I’d like him to play. Any clues?

Good pet gates for wide openings?

I’m looking for a sturdy, high quality (e.g., not wobbly and preferably metal rather than wood, as I don’t want it to be chewed on) pet gate to separate my kitchen from my living room. My difficulty is that the opening for that space is about 70". I also need a gate that either has a latched door or that easily swings out of the way when not in use. Any recommendations? Thanks!
