In my parents' house, the front door leads to 6 steps that bring you up to the main level of the house. There is a wall on one side and a wrought iron railing on the other. The railing is not the most secure and a standard baby gate won't fit there.

Has anyone else found a solution for putting up a gate in a similar area? We aren't there often enough for my dad to replace the railing or for him to want to install something more permanent.
