Wooden Stair Gates

Follow these simple step by step instructions to finding the right wood safety gate for your home: 1. WALL TO WALL - To establish the ‘wall to wall’ measurement, measure from wall to wall where you estimate the top edge of the safety gate to fit. Standard height gates are approximately 75cm and extra tall gates are 100cm in height. Key in this measurement in centimetres in the ‘wall to wall’ box. 2. FLOOR LEVEL – To establish the ‘floor level’ measurement, measure the estimated floor space, taking into account any skirting boards. It’s important to measure within the skirting boards as this may alter the stair gate we recommend for you. Key in this measurement in centimetres in the ‘floor level’ box. If there is no difference between the floor level and the wall-to-wall measurement there is no need to fill in both. 3. Once you have entered ‘wall to wall’ measurements and ‘floor level’ measurements, select the blue ‘go’ button. Your measurements have now been automatically and accurately calculated, and you will now have a list of all suitable and compatible safety gates for your space. 4. To narrow your search further, select ‘TYPE’. Establish the type of safety gate you would prefer and select/click on that option. For example, if you are looking for a wooden pressure fit stair gate, click on ‘pressure fit stair gates’. You will now have a list of pressure fit stair gates (only) that are compatible with the measurements you have already entered. You can select more than one gate type if required. 5. To narrow your search further, select ‘COLOUR’. Click on the preferred gate colour or colours, such as ‘white’. At this point you will have a list of gates in your chosen TYPE and COLOUR that will fit your exact measurements. 6. Continue to follow the process of points 4 and 5 for ‘BRAND’ and ‘GATE FEATURES’. 7. Once you have completed your selections, you will now be left with a list of wooden safety gates compatible with your space in your preferred brand, colour, and style with any particular gate features required. 8. To start the process again, simply click the blue X in the top right corner of the finder. This will take you to a fresh stair gate finder page. The space in my home is unique?

Wooden stair gates are safe for all doorways and stairwells within the home. They provide a contemporary, stylish room divide, and are available in white wood, cherry, or natural. What deems a wooden baby gate safe for the stairs are the fittings used. 

Screw fit wooden safety gates are recommended for the top of a flight of stairs. They provide the most secure and safe solution as they are installed with screws to all four corners of the gate frame. This is opposed to applying pressure to the four spindles as is the case with a pressure fitted gate (also called a no-screw gate).  

If a wooden pressure fitted gate is installed at the top of the stairs, there is a risk of the pressure releasing and the gate becoming dangerous. Wooden pressure fitted gates are also designed within a U-frame and present a potential hazardous trip bar when opened. As a result, pressure gates are not recommended for the top of stairs. 

Wooden screw fitted baby gates have no trip bar and provide the ultimate safe solution for the top of any flight of stairs. Wooden pressure fitted and wooden screw fitted safety gates are both suitable options for the bottom of the stairs. For the safety of your family, wooden stair gates should not be installed within the actual stairwell itself. 

Wooden stair gates are safe for pets. They enable you to create secure boundaries in the home wherever you need them. Although suitable for all pets, a wooden stair gate may be less suited to a teething puppy or dogs in general who are prone to chewing. A wooden pet gate is strong and robust but can become damaged easily if chewed. Metal stair gates are therefore recommended for pets who like to chew. They are more durable and hardwearing and less prone to damage. Wooden stair gates are versatile and can be easily transferred between doorways and stairwells. They create an instant, safe room divide for your pet to play and exercise safely and unsupervised. Wooden dog stair gates can be installed within multiple areas in the home, enabling you to create more than one zone for your pet to play. Wooden safety gates also prevent pets from entering areas of the house where children may be playing, providing peace of mind for your pets and children as you go about your day. Wooden stair gates provide a great solution in preventing puppies from creating havoc in the home. They enable you to close off areas of the home you would prefer to keep free from a lively pup prone to chewing furniture, carpets, and upholstery.
