I'm looking for ideas on how we can safely block off our stairs given that we have brick on one side and open slats on the other. Anyone MacGyver a solution for similar? I'm hoping for something aesthetically pleasing since this is right in our foyer.

Look like it will have to be tension mounted - I would zip tie wood to the open slat side and then tension mount. Now as far as looking nice....I’ve got nothing

Do you have a hallway or anything leading to that area that you could block off instead?

@erinbaderin: No, unfortunately this stairway is open to the main living room and her playroom. It's definitely not ideal.

It won't be aesthetically pleasing, but if you wire tie a larger piece of wood to a baluster you should be able to just use a tension gate.

You can also buy a y-shaped piece (vs the flat circles for the wall) for at least some tension gates - assuming the baluster can take the pressure

Just saw this one on amazon. I haven't used it but looks like it could work with some adjustments
