That makes it sound un-safe - but what we did is fabricate a sort of "box" to go around the end pole that I glued felt pads to. Then we drilled the holes from one side of the frame to the other frame peice. And unless you really LOOKED HARD you didn't even notice there was a sort of "sleeve" around the end post. Worked like a charm for 2 years, and then little fingers could unlick it quicker than I can! So we took it down. Oh ! We had magic blue tape at our house too. I laid down blue painters tape everywhere the the baby was NOT TO GO. It only took a few days of sternly convincing him that he did not need to cross the tape & after a year of tape - he didn't & doesn't come into the no-zone. The NO-ZONE is my sewing area. I don't have any way to cut off access to it like I did in my last house. <br /><br />Thanks for showing pictures of the little man - he's gorgeous.<br /><br />Sam<br />momtofatdogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389739578090412265noreply@blogger.com
