Baby gate to enclose a 1.75metre opening, is it possible?

[Babyluv]

Hi everyone,

As the topic states I'm wanting a baby gate or something similar that I can use to cover the opening to our lounge room. Is this possible? What do you have? I don't want a playpen.
Thanks

I think it is. You can get the normal gates and then you can buy a few extentions for them. Could be quite an expensive exercise though..

We got an extra wide/extra tall gate that came with a couple of extensions and it works well. It was 40% off at Target last year (I suppose not many people buy them!) so cheaper than a normal gate.

You can buy wooden ones, they are cheaper but the only problem is they don't open & you have to constantly step over them.

I bought a big wooden playpen with a gate that opens out flat. we use this on the verandah (huge opening) it works really well. I think Ii paid about $140 on ebay

I am using an old door turned on its long side which we either step over or slide open (it slides behind a couch.) It is too heavy for my 3 year old to open and just light enough for me to slide with my DD2 in my arms so is working well.
