Does anyone know how can i fit a stairs gate when the stairs in the house we moving to, as most of houses I've seen here so far, is quite wide plus that the banister is metal!!!

Also do you where can I buy stairs gate from!!?

Many thanks

Hi. Check out Mamas & Papas. They have 2 types with different measurements and they also sell extentions. Also Toys R Us have them. Good Luck!

if you are moving into BH10 wouldn't hurt to ask around as many people who are leaving might have had gates specifically made to measure and are now moving out and looking to sell. We had ours made and it cost 650QAR, pricey but looks great in nice solid dark stained wood. The carpenter built a frame that goes around the gate and bottom of stairs. Otherwise a block of wood attached with cable ties will give you something to screw a pre-made one onto. They sell readymade gates at home center and baby-shop (sometimes you have to ask as they are out back)

We had the same problem when we moved into our present villa. Got the gate and the extension from Home Centre (Centrepoint branch) as this was the only place which met the width requirements. DH cut out small blocks of wood which he superglued to the metal banister side and thats how we fixed the gate. Almost a year now and its still strong! Also I do remember that Toys R Us had the stairgates at a much better price but no extensions; maybe u would like to check there as well. Other ladies from my compound have said they got wood gates with a latch made from the carpenter. Hope this helps!
