From Childproof Stair Banister, Step 1: Measure Banister Gaps
Before starting construction, accurately measure the space where the baby gate will be installed. First, measure the width of the opening, specifically from the banister to the baseboard molding, ensuring to account for the baseboards so the gate isn't too wide. Next, measure the height. The creator recommends a height of 25 inches, noting that taller gates might be needed for very tall operators or large pets.
