Decks and balconies are the ultimate areas of the house to sit back and enjoy your home, but to fully relax, make sure they are safe enough for your child too.
Extra layers of safety on decks and balconies include banister shields and a general attention to the toys and furniture placed near the railing. Be mindful of any chairs and tables that could easily be climbed on, and keep an eye on the sort of toys children bring with them outside to avoid the presence of objects that could be stacked up and used to peek up and over the deck.
Although safety measures are in place, please keep in mind that decks and balconies are areas of the house in which children should never be left unattended. Baby proofing is an extremely important ally in keeping your family safe, but nothing beats your eyes and ears.
Installation of extra large black sectional gate to keep baby from going on to outside deck.
To prevent your child from getting outside at all, restrict his access by installing a child safety gate like the one pictured above.
This neat and elegant gate will keep your mind at ease by blocking your infant from wandering into a dangerous area unattended. To add a second barrier of protection, install safety locks on all perimeter doors leading to decks and balconies.
