Pleassse People I Need Your help!!! I feel let down :( I keep posting but no one seems to help me. I am really afraid that my yorkie is going to be hurt falling off my catwalk. Everyone says gates don't work and someone told me their aunt's dog got killed in such a situation. Where can I get plexiglass panels to block the spaces between the railings? Someone else must have this fear? |
I would contact a home improvement store or a fence company. I am sorry but I am not sure I know what a "catwalk is". Is it a small balcony? They also sell a mesh fencing material for toddlers to protect them from falling through slats in a railing. You could check baby stores or look under child proof fencing on the internet maybe? Sorry I'm not much help, but I hope those ideas will lead to something. Good luck |
like socal said i dont know what your thing looks like but you can look at this and see if this would work http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...#more-pictures |
try looking at hardwear stores like lowes or try next step baby you can find it by searching the web. also i would try babies are us they might have something that could help. just a thought hope that helps. good luck. :p |
GO to your local glass company...they can cut you plexi-glass pieces to measurements you give them....plexi is a plastic like material that is clear so you can still see thru it...give htem the measurements and also give them measurements to drill holes into so you can secure the pieces to the rainings in differnet spots....this should definetly work....good luck! |
Hannah, I got a baby gate at Babies R Us that is expandable and the slats are so close that Bo can't fit between them. It swings open either way and can be pressure mounted so that no hardware has to be installed. It cost about $60 and has been well worth it. Hope this helps! |

try the one I posted or the plexiglass |
:aimeeyork i love your decor style...have you considered buying mesh or some other material at the fabric store? you could pull it taught or weave it in and out maybe? I dunno, just looks like a lot of area to cover with gates....not sure how you could secure the bottom, aside from pulling it taught... i think the plexiglass is a good idea... |
wal-mart sells the mesh gate but it is wire i had the plastic looking mesh but my scrappydoo chewed a hole big enough to slip threw it i was gonna get another but my husband found a wire one . so far so good keeps him gated in the kitchen :aimeeyork |

After looking at the picture I think plexiglass would be perfect at keeping fur baby safe and still keeping your home "classy looking"... I would think any home store or glass store will carry what you are looking for. Good luck. :) |
I got just the thing for you!!!!!! Go to 'one step ahead " then go to home safety there is an item called the clear banister guard kit. It is very reasonably priced. Have mant friends who have this for thier children. I will be ordering this before I bring home my new lil furbaby. Hope that helps :D . Let me know if that helps. sue |

Can you just put up a baby gate so Baby cant go upstairs? This is what I do. I dont know how wide it is between the banisters so in the end you may need something permanent for them. I have children and my son is just learning to walk so I gate off the upstairs anyway. Its a bit incondvenient but Ive got used to stepping over the gate. |
Here's a link to the site for the swing babygate at Babies R Us. We love ours. Good luck!! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...=baby&n=540992 |
Check with any local auto glass installer, they usually carry plexiglass, or maybe a Lowes or Home depot, they should carry something also. |

Hi, Did you get my private message yesterday? For whatever reason, Sophie doesn't care about what is on the other side. Our cats don't either. Maybe they have enough sense to know that would be dangerous? My neighbors have the same stairs and walkway that we both have and their small Yorkie (4 lbs) has no problems, and she has the run of the house. Of course, you need to do whatever you think is most safe. I hope you can find what you need. |
1 Attachment(s) Have you considered Lattice work . My daughter bought the white plastc lattice and my husband just cut it to fit the stair area . The holes are small enough the puppy does not fity through. You can buy 4x8 sheets at a building suppy or garden center pretty cheap . Most people use it to cove in area below decks. I will try to attach photo of lattice Fran |
I have a cat walk also and Pita looks over but would never jump! She won't even jump off the couch, but maybe she's just cautious. Try a glass company. I don't know how permanent you want it to be but maybe there is some screening or something you could buy in a roll to cover it until you can come up with something else? |
The easiest and most in-expensive thing to do is just go out buy a staple gun and a roll of chicken wire, and just staple it along the areas that they can fit through. We currently live in an appartment and have a porch with spaces enough for them to fit through so we just put the wire up so they can go outside with us without having to worry about them falling through. Its kinda funny, we just bought a second yorkie and when shes up on the couch or anywhere for that matter she will just roll right off or jump, no fear of heights with that one, but our older puppy wont even try to jump off the couch. |
chicken wire? If you look at my photo I think you can see why that isn't going to work- not for the central hallway of a house, maybe ok for a deck. |
I posted a place to custom order plexiglass. |
