we have a banister at the top of the stairs with 1.5" (maybe a tad smaller) posts that this will have to mount to...at a slight angle. Will it work?

From my experience and how mine is mounted it that it will work. Being that close to a step cats will be able to sneak under and dogs will be able to reach head under and cause problems.

Hmm... probably not, but could be done with some mounts. I believe this company makes mounts for different scenarios, so you may want to check that out.

No, I do not think it will work. Ours is on a very very slight angle because we did not use a level when installing and it has some slack in the gate mesh making it not as tight across. Still works but it is frustrating when trying to latch and unlatch.

From a dimension perspective it should work. Having said that, I would NOT put this gate at the top of a staircase. The fabric that slides across is very easy for baby/toddler to push and get under. It is more of a deterrent, not a full proof safety gate, especially for a staircase. We love the gate to shut off a section of rooms on the ground floor.

I have it mounted at an angle, but don't have it at the top of the stairs. I think the post would need to be 2.25 at least. Otherwise it has been good for an irregular area of the house.

It should handle the slight angle because gate material being flexible . I would recommend mounting the hook side on your posts . You may need your own screws since I think the provided may stick through your post . Overall it's a great gate we have 2.

I have one mounted at the top of my stairs on the white glossy baseboard. It seems to work fine. Sometimes there is a delay, but I think that is more a factor of the stairs blocking it a little.

If the question is "Can it be used on a door frame that leads to stairs, I would think so, depending on what the door jam looks like. When the door is closed, is there an additional inch or two of flat wood? You would need about an inch of width to mount the door. You would need this space on both sides of the door frame (i.e., the side with your door hinges, and the side the door latches to.

The mounting holes on the clothesline housing are too far apart to mount directly to a wooden post but a short plank (18" or so) could be attached to the post and the clothesline attached to the plank and it would work just fine. Hope this helps!

I would not recommend it for the top of the stairs. A gate whereby one side is secured to a wall and not pressure mounted would be safer.

I think it would depend on how big the banister is, if it is small the gate might not have enough surface to grip it.

Not if it isn't an even surface. We have 2 of these gates and they don't work well at all for us. The bottom of our stairs the banister is thicker at the bottom than the top and this gate doesn't adjust for that.

I think so. I tried to measure but it's difficult to do that. I have a shower stool hanging on one of these hooks and the part by which it hangs is just under 3/4 inch. There is a little flex in the hook, so i think it will work.

You will need the adaptor for the banister side if your banister post is circular where top of gate would connect to it. I think it can be used with most gate brands - I would think it would work with dreambaby gate too since its same brand as the adaptor. Think about what kind of gate you want at top of stairs...the ones with a bottom bar are not recommended because of tripping, but if you put it down on the first step down you cant trip over it or if you have a landing at the top put it a few feet before the stairs start.

I don't see why not. Mine is mounted in a hallway where the distance between the walls is wider than at floor level distance between the baseboard. Therefore, if your banister is the right height (at the top) it would work. Check the height of the solid most part of your banister to make sure it is the same height of the gate frame.

I think its designed more for a horizontal or slight slope than a vertical mount. Try some chimney strap mounts.my .02, good luck.

Yes it should work since it is adjustable it shouldn't be to difficult to use on stairs.
2138437
yes. its not that wide so the sturdyness could be a problem. Double check the dimensions and see if that will work for your steps :)

I installed my mount from the ceiling and that worked very well. The kit comes with several height posts and should work ok for your application.

If the distance between the steps is the same then there should be no problem. This "Little Giant" platform is not rocket science, but was agreat idea. This platform is a life saver when you have to stand in one spot for a while such as hooking up a ceiling fan or painting. Sure makes it easy on your feet. The "U" shape on the platform just goes on the step below and the platform slides out and the lip slides against the step you place it on. Good luck

Yes. One side will mount to the wall. The other side uses spacers and nylon straps to secure it to the banister post.it is rather sturdy.

I already have it mounted but I have a good eye formeasurements. It would fit a post/pipe about 5/8" - 3/4".
