Baby Gate

Materials used:

- munchkin top of stairs baby gate (hardware installed, not tension-mounted)

- melamine board (3/4" thick)

- Kidkusion Gummi Crib Rail

- nuts, bolts and screws

Tools used: measuring tape, level, pencil for marking, stud finder, power drill.

This is how the baby gate looks from the side. This turned out to be harder than we initially thought because we had to install that board to extend one side of the stairs so that there'd be someplace to attach the gate hardware.

We then put the crib rail (Kidkusion Gummi) protector around the melamine board to finish the edge and keep us from getting splinters.

After measuring and marking where things will go, prep the cordless drill.

Let's make some holes!

[Mommy: This is where Daddy had to wrestle Swe-cha for the drill, my boys do love their power tools!]

Attach the panels with bolts and nuts.

Make sure all the bolts and nuts are nice and tight.

Attach the gate and test for stability.

Gather all tools and materials.

(Stud finder, tape measure, level, baby gate parts and instruction manual)

Hold the stud finder against the wall like this.

Good job, Daddy! You found one!

Now, we make a mark on the wall right here.

The gate goes here and should be around this high.
