TTMA outdoor baby gates

[sabrinaml]

Not a playyard. But an actual gate we can use at the top of steps on our deck.


DH and I want to be able to leave the sliding door to our deck open I the evening and let Cole crawl/walk around without having to be right there with him. (You can see our entire deck from the kitchen windows) Anyone have any recommendations on what to use? We have 2 sets of stairs. Both are at least 60" wide. So your regular gates don't extend wide enough.

We have one similar to this that we used for an exceptionally large doorway in our house:

The other option is, could you contact a deck company to actually just install a built-in gate at the top of your stairs? When we put the deck on our house, we knew we wanted a a gate to be able to let our dog and what at the time would be potential kids from going down the stairs, and they were able to put one in that closes automatically and is just part of the deck. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to retro-fit one onto an existing deck.

We've used something like this before. It worked well!

we are using this. It's munchkin from Walmart. It's coated metal. Wish it matched the deck it does the job
