Any ideas on a temporary or not too expensive way to fence in the open area of this back deck? The drop off is not far, just a step down, but enough that if a little 1year old wasn't paying attention she could have a pretty bad bump
Or scrape. Plus keeping her contained while I have the watertable out would be really nice.

I'm planning to get a quote for just extending the fence that goes around the rest of the deck, but I fear it will be really expensive and DH isn't too keen on it since we really just need it for this summer and maybe next. Is there some somewhat temporary thing we could set up that I don't know about?

ETA: also recommendations for outdoor top of stairs gates? The steps on the other side are a little steep and have a fence on both sides. Can I just use a regular indoor stair gate?
