Can I mount it to the wall or top of stairs or does it have to pressure mounted?

You can do both, either mount it to the wall or pressure mounted, it comes with the required hardware. I personally mounted to the wall so i can remove it if i have visitors

It has the hardware to mount it either way. I pressure mounted mine. I used some of that rubber shelf paper that comes in a roll to protect the wall and keep it from slipping. Works great for over a year now!

It has plastic cups that screw to the wall to provide extra stability, but the gate itself only pressure mounts into those cups.

Yes, you need to mount it to a wall. It comes with hardware to do it. Very easy to do.

I would think it needs to be mounted. It is top heavy and would fall over. I mounted it to the end of a cabinet.

It takes 2 screws at the top. We have no problem with movement at all. It s secure enough for us. You can move it with your hands holding the bottom. Still see no problem when attached to secure wall. We love it. Many compliments.

Any gate mounted above stairs needs to be hardware-mounted. This pressure-mounted one eventually can wiggle loose, especially if the surfaces it's pushing up against for mounting are not completely square horizontally. More than once we have stepped to open it and the whole thing dislodged, and we hadn't realized it was that loose.

I'd say post mount as it has a floor and no way to get inside to wall mount it. I'm answering this from memory as I have it on the ground in my fairy garden. I sprayed it with clear polyurethane so it's holding up fine so far.

You do not have to mount it to the wall. I have two of them and both are set on the counter against the wall under the cabinet. Never had any problems with stability.

It mounts to the wall and blocks the entire stair opening. I would imagine it would be ok for top or bottom of stairs.

No it needs to be mounted to the wall. Also we had to drill holes and mount to the floor, otherwise my daughter could shake it and it would open right up. But we love it and it works great and looks nice

I would guess no. It's very heavy and I don't recall that there's any way to mount it to a wall.

It really does need to be screwed into the wall. It doesn't come with pressure mounts but I used some from another gate and it worked ok.

It can be used anywhere including bottom of stairs. Since the hinges allow it to swing either way, you can just mount it to the wall at bottom of stairs and use it as an 'outswing,' or opening towards you as you would be going up the stairs. The mounting brackets are on both sides.

If you mount in the floor it would but if you are locating it at the bottom of the stairs it will move air into the room at the top of the stairs. This fan is very powerful at the lowest speed but it is very loud!

It is not designed to be mounted to a wall, etc. The one that I purchased for the grandkids (13-7) has been used with no mounting, only being held to the table with one hand while cranking with the other. There is a bar that goes throught the bottom for securing it to a table, however. It works great and they love it.

You can have it laying on the floor. I mounted mine on string from the refrigerator so it would move back and forth with the refrigerator and be up above the trim around the base of the wall. Now I can push my refrigerator back another 1/2 inch or so.

No, it does not need to be mounted as long as you lean it up against a wall. That is the way I have it in my basement.

Yes you can mount it on the ceiling in a stairway, just make sure of the filed of view, and you will need a wall plate for cover the hole
