However, we were still worried about them falling through, so we had pieces of plexiglass cut that ran the entire length of both landings that we placed across the posts. The weight of the plexi allowed us to just place it there without having to screw it into the posts, and it worked great. It doesn't look bad, and it's high enough that they definitely can't fall through. They were able to see what was going on downstairs because the plexi is clear, so they didn't try to jump on the plexiglass. It gave us such peace of mind.

Great idea!
