Stair gates
Hey ladies,
I realise it's a little early to be thinking about stair gates, with James only being 5 months old!
But basically the previous house owners had one at the top of the stairs, and we used it for the dogs.
We've had new wooden stairs put in, because the old ones didn't reach ANY of the regulations, and were completely unsafe with/for a child.
At the top there is the post on the left, but there is also a piece of wood against the wall above the top step, on the right. This means the dimensions for a stair gate need to be about 71 cms at the bottom, and 79 cms at the top.
We want a pressure gate, rather than wall mounted. The majority of the ones I have seen, have a minimum width of 75cm. The ones that are less, seem to be wall mounted, or just don't look nice (I know not really a problem if they're safe, and will use one if have to).
So anyone have a gate that is 71 cm or less minimum width, pressure fixture? If so where did you get it?? Thanks. xx
