We have it and it's really good quality, plus you can attach it to the walls on either side rather than assembling it in a circle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-gates-around-wood-burning-stove#post-2655395 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 15:41:29 +0000 GreenThumb 2655395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JLC53: We actually use metal gates around our wood stove. I had the same concern about them getting hot, but surprisingly, they only get warm to the touch even though they are pretty close to the stove. As long as they aren't touching, I don't think the air actually conducts the heat well enough for the gates to get really hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/safety-gates-around-wood-burning-stove#post-2655390 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 15:35:26 +0000 JLC53 2655390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, its official, I have a crawler. My husband and I would like to do some child proofing over the long weekend. I feel like this has been at the back of my mind for awhile now and I have been pushing it off. I saw someone else post about safety gates and instead of hijacking her thread figured I would start my own...</p> <p>I have a wood burning stove in the corner of our family room that I would like to block off with a gate. We use the wood burning stove all winter. I noticed that the more sturdy gates are metal and I fear they will get hot when the stove is really warm. Any other options, maybe wood, that will work for a corner?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
