I need to find a stair gate that is 34" tall. Can't afford to have one made Help!?
Question:I finally convinced my husband to replace the iron stair railing with wood. We found a carpenter and bought a standard child stair safety gate that he was to install when the railing was done. Upon completion he informed me that the gate is too short, we need a 34" tall gate. I can't find one anywhere. I'm 8 mths pregnant with my 3rd child, I have a 3 and1 yr old, this is something I don't want to deal with. Anyone knows where I can get one?
Answers:
I'm not really sure why you need a 34" tall gate, but why don't you try the pet store, they sell doggy gates and they look just like baby gates. Or why don't you install the gate a few inches off the ground so it is higher?
Is this about how it will be attached to the stairs? because I have an all oak staircase which I refuse to drill into, so instead I attached an extra piece of wood to the stairs using large heavy duty zip ties and then drilled the hardware into to that, which will be removed when gate is no longer needed.
Ever thought of using the side of an old wooden cot?I'm sure you could probably get a second-hand one?I've got one to stop my dogs getting out. It's plenty big enough.It would be a lot cheaper to.
