Thanks Ann (Wylie'sMom) for the idea! I have been using the sections of a plastic play yard to confine the girls in one half of my bedroom. I am in there all the time with them unless I go out. Since I have new carpet in my bedrooms and they aren't 100% trained I wanted a way to protect the carpets. So I put down sheet vinyl in the walk in closet, (their girl cave) and 1/2 of my bedroom carpet. They have access to the bed, 1/2 the room and the walk in closet and a window to look out of. I almost kill myself at least once a day stepping over the gated areas. So Ann mentioned in a thread about gates that she uses wire closet shelving. I went to Home Depot and got a 4' x 12 inch piece for the door and a 8' x 12 inch piece to separate the bedroom. It worked great, looks better and I won't kill myself stepping over it. My girls do not jump at all so the 12 inch high ones worked out great. Thanks Ann. |
