[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 539300, member: 11791"] Build your own. We had to... because we didn't even have a "doorway" to block off... but it really works. You make a half-wall out of 2x4s (all sanded sliver-free and painted with safe paint), at least 4 ft high. Space the "posts" really close - like whatever the current crib-spacing is... we did ours at 3.5 inch gaps (which makes it easy to build, because a 2x4 width-wise is... 3.5 inches... just use a scrap piece for a spacer). You build the gate the same way, and use outdoor gate hardware - 3 hinges, two latches (top and bottom)... Ya, it's a pain, but it worked so well that we didn't take it down between the two kids, 'cause we knew we'd need it soon. [/QUOTE]
