Do you need a quick, easy, and cheap baby or dog gate as in my case?
A single sheet of
hardboard is $8.00. It's typically 1/8" thick, 4'x8'. Many home improvement stores will cut the boards to specified dimensions.
The inside dimension of my door frame is 32", so I cut the hardboard to a 32.25" dimension. The extra length allows for a tension fit and the doorstop will hold the hardboard in place if a baby or dog pushes against it.

For fewer cuts, you can keep it 4' tall and get 2 gates out of one board. That's a lot cheaper than buying an adjustable baby gate, and you may already have hard board on hand like I did.
It's light weight gate and stores completely flat.
