Temporary baby/dog gate
I wanted a baby/dog gate on my front porch stairs but I hated the look of the pressure fit baby gates. I opted to buy a section of rail that will be supported with blocks on each end so it matches the rest of the railing height. The issue is that I need it to somewhat operate like a gate. I was thinking an elastic strap could act as the “latch” on one side but I’m not sure about the hinge. This is a temporary thing for maybe a year or so. Because of this, I really don’t want to drill holes or anything like that. The running idea right now is to just elastic the “hinge” side as well but there has to be a better answer. Curious what you guys would do. submitted by /u/NoLetterhead7015 [link] [comments]
