Would this work between a wall with a tall baseboard and a stair banister? Grandparents here! Don't need all the time!

There is an option to pressure mount the gate between two walls. I can't remember if the manual provided an option to install when one side is a banister but I believe as long as there is a flat surface on the banister I don't see why not. I do remember reading in the manual that pressure mounting is only OK for the bottom of a stairs (never for the top). Hope this helps. I have two of these installed to swing open. The top of the stairs had a tall baseboard so I had to install a little higher than the bottom. The gap was not too wide so this was OK. The gap between floor and bottom of the gate should not be wide enough for the little tike to fit body parts through.

So long as there is a solid piece of wall available on both sides, yes. If you're talking about a banister or a spindle, no, I wouldn't think it would be sturdy enough - particularly to protect children.

Yes. I think it would be noisy. We noticed that when we had it on our stairs that if it was bumped, even slightly, it made a pretty big rattle/thundery sound which was annoying. The product worked well for keeping our kids from slipping through or getting stuck in our stair banisters and we were glad to have it. But it was nice to get rid of it when our stairs were redone and we didn't need a banister guard anymore.

Yes. Be sure you have the height you need and there are are no sharp corners or level changes. I use it in a basemeny

Make sure you use the anchor properly by placing directly into a stud, or using a drywall anchor. But yes, it's very secure. It does allow for some space for the baseboard. There isn't really a noticeable gap behind it, and the unit does not have a noticeable lean. The room I have them installed in had basic, low-profile baseboards. I'm now sure how it would work if you had bulky, ornate baseboards/trim. I'm very pleased with these units (I have 2).

Yes. We did this in order to accommodate older staircase. Another tip is to use zip ties to secure it in the event wall screws are inconvenient.

I have one mounted at the top of my stairs on the white glossy baseboard. It seems to work fine. Sometimes there is a delay, but I think that is more a factor of the stairs blocking it a little.

It doesn't need to be set between walls, but it needs to fold somewhat to stand. If your staircase isn't too wide, you could use this to block the staircase quite effectively unless there is an opening at the side of the stairs that would allow the cat to bypass the gate. The upright rods on the gate are 1-5/8 inches apart, in case that's relevant.

No, the top wall bracket would be unstable the way it is designed. It may work if the bracket could be sealed shut in the horizontal position and located at the very back of the cabinet.

That should work, it is made for smaller openings. NOTE this was for the ladder only, I was expecting the door and frame, I had to build that. also this does not seem suited to heavy use, if you will be going up and down a lot you may want a heavier duty ladder.

Yes, height includes baseboard...this is definitely too low for a counter, and probably not sturdy enough either.

It will work nicely in a corner. The shelves do not need to touch a wall but obviously the sides of the ladder do need something to lean on.

I am not sure. It depends on the distance between the walls. The shelves might not fit between the walls.

Agree with previous answers. .. it won't be as easy but if there's dry wall behind it; it should work.

If you have high ceilings it will work. A wall hook may be as good if you can't lift it high enough to walk under it.

It could be done if you were able to tie the bottom unit into the wall so it had support. The bottom unit would probably tip out without this support.

Could work, I guess. I've installed it under the floor and it does a very good job. The idea is good, worth a try - in any case you design it the way so you can disconnect wall part at any time.
