The Stair Barrier

General information

Keeping two- and four-legged little ones off the stairs is a key part of safety-proofing a home, but most safety gates on the market are neither attractive nor 100% safe due to the jerry rigging required to attach the gate between banisters.

In 2008, The Stair Barrier founder Janelle Fitzpatrick needed a way to keep her own dogs and baby off of her home’s volute/curved banister stairs and found herself faced with the same dilemma: safe or attractive. Not wanting to settle for one or the other, she invented a solution that looked as good as it worked and the first Stair Barrier prototype was created. What began as one mom’s solution is now an American Made business, with all materials sourced and manufactured in the U.S.A.

The Stair Barrier officially launched in January 2015 and now offers a wide selection of fabric gates for staircases with banisters, giving parents a simple, attractive solution for making the stairs off-limits to young kids and curious pets.
