This is my first project and i am quite happy with the job it does.

The intention was to prevent little monsters running down stairs to the road whenever they want.
The gate and fixing mechanism was built using scrap wood laying around.
Gate is opened by lifting up, quite lightweight for us to lift, heavy enough for the children.
We rent this summer house for three months, so i didn’t want to damage the walls. There are no nails or screws on the walls.

So, it works and life is easier now:)...

I can see why you would want to keep these particular little monsters from running out to the road, they
are the type that you want to keep. Just looking, I can not tell which one is more wonderful, but either
one would make any parent proud. Thank you for sharing.

You corraled the little varmints very neatly! Well done.

Have your say...
