When we bought the house it had a sunken hot tub. We just got rid of it, and patched the hole. DH cleaned the deck but we are waiting to restain till the new wood weathers more. So not worried about it matching. </p> <p>DH just called me and said that he already found a plan online and he is planning on making it this weekend. Shows what I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511058 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:36:19 +0000 regberadaisy 1511058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: you have a railing around the deck I assume?<br /> I would just go to home Depot or Lowe's then and pick up a wood gate and some extra spindles if needed. stain to match your railing?<br /> Or if you feel it'll be impossible to match paint it a contrasting color? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511057 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:35:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1511057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Babydan. It's supposed to be a playpen, but it's meant to come apart and pretty versatile (you can add and take segments out). It's metal and we plan to use it around the grill during the summer, but right now it's surrounding our fireplace. We did have to buy wall mounts since it didn't come with it. But buying the playpen was still a better deal since it's a lot bigger (especially if you're using it for the backyard and need a wider area to section off).</p> <p>[attach=1448/14/n2sdmi.500x443.61m4D9ApLhL.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1448/14/n2sdmj.500x500.41L6ftp3a4L.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511037 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:22:59 +0000 Smurfette 1511037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Just from going down the stairs. There are about 9 steps that she could just fall down. We have a huge deck and she loves being outside. She is 12 months. </p> <p>@Mamaof2: Do you have plans or something? I do think it would be the best to just build on in the long run since we want another LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511029 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:16:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1511029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there something you're trying to protect her from? Or just a big open area in general?<br /> If the latter the only one I can think of is like one of those baby jails. How old is LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511027 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:15:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1511027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you don't want to make one but that's what we did - just made more sense. DH attached it to one side and it swings open and latches when closed - that way its permanent and can stay outside all the time rather than bring in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1511021 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:10:58 +0000 Smurfette 1511021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>shameless self bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-for-outside-deck#post-1507830 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:33:12 +0000 Smurfette 1507830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have one? Recommendations?</p> <p>DH might make one but we don't have a lot of free time coming up. </p>
