What type of bracket?

[A&N_Hunter]

We found a local guy via Facebook who makes custom barn doors. He made us a door to put in our great room to keep the dogs out. My question is, based on the photo, what would be the best type of bracket to mount this sucker?!

how about no brackets, and glue or nail a strip of wood on both sides of the outer edge for the full length of the 1/2 door.  Then you can just slide them in and secure with screws?  Then if you needed to remove, you can just unscrew it and slide it all back out.  Paint or stain the new wood to match wall or doors - your call?

4 strong 'L' brackets

Mount the bottom brackets so the wall side is up and the tops so they are down.

Less noticeable that way

I would keep it up enough to get the vacuum cleaner under it

Yea I would get the same color wood from the guy and make a tack to drop it down between. Trim nail into corner of wall... if it's too loose you can always countersink a screw for easy removal in future.
4 short pieces of wood should to the trick and cover the loose spaces on each side.

Mind letting me know where ya got it and how much it cost? I have a similar area from my kitche/living rm and may need to gate it off when baby starts getting into stuff.

Another explanation of what I mean is to sandwich the 2 sides between 2 more pieces of wood that are nailed or screwed to the wall

like JH bowhunter and Jay said I would get some would to match 4 pieces to screw to the wall so you can slide your gate in then if you choose screw to the gate put a piece of matching wood on top to stop it from coming out or leave it so you can slide it out and put it aside if needed .....

Jay,

I'll have to ask my wife who exactly he is. All I know is that his name is Brett, he lives down in Panther Valley, and this gate cost us $400 with a 2-2 1/2 week turnaround.
