Our son has just discovered stairs & we're debating what stair gate to get. The bottom two steps are past the post, so we're not sure if we need one that would go round all the steps, but take up more hallspace, or just across where the post is.


I've tried to attach a photo to help make sense.


Ideally we wouldn't need to drill etc.


Thanks!

We have ours at the second stair and this has been fine. We use a retractable gate (https://www.safetots.co.uk/safetots-advanced-retractable-safety-gate-white-60cm-120cm.html) which we find is less obtrusive than the old swing gate we had.


Unfortunately I think you will have to drill. Using a non-drill gate in your position has three drawbacks to my mind:

1. Needs to be installed higher up the stairs so there is a solid wall on both sides

2. Leaves a trip hazard part way up the stairs

3. In my experience they move eventually with a determined toddler hanging on them

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription.
