[For My Coby]

Thanks all! I love hearing and seeing your ideas. Since I found YT, I spend less time trying bad ideas. I just come here and check with the experts to find out what works for people!

Oooh, that could work at the bottom of the stairs. We have a rule no stepping over a gate at the top of the stairs because hubby got his sandal caught in the gate and fell down the flight of stairs and broke his elbow and wrist.

I use PVC gates, beds and pens...had them for years, can't destroy them. I even had a patio 16x16 playyard fenced with it..

I'm trying to choose between wood and pvc. I love pvc - the cleanliness look to it.

However, I had to then cover the chicken wire with material. We thought we bought the small holed chicken wire...but it was the big so of course the first thing the babies did...stuck their head through the holes. Now we do use a regular cheap gate with another doorway but on the stairs we needed something that would open and close. Only problem with it...its fits for a left handed person ???? We're all right....haven't said anything to him...yet!

That's so cool! When Reggie was little we had a wood siding shingle that I painted a picket fence and tulips on. It was so crafty and cute like yours and blocked the stairs until he was big enough to jump over. The pen's adorable. Shhh, you're right-handed secret is safe with me!
