Hi! Need help from forum participants thanks!
The upstair retreats area is just outside the bedrooms and is surrounded by bannisters. I think this is what people call foyer balcony. The balustrade between the bannisters are wide and I am concerned that the toddlers might squeeze through. It would be a 5 metre drop. I think the height of the bannisters are <1 metre and children could potentially pull up a small stool to climb over it.
Thinking of using glass/perspex partition that go floor to ceiling or at least 6 ft tall. Not keen to use plaster wall, timber etc as this would make the upstairs too "congested/"closed up". Whilst aesthetic appeal is important, safety will have to comes first.
Where do I get the glass/perspex partition? Who would install? Prefer shatterproof material. I am in Melbourne.
Any other suggestions as to how I can make the area safe?
Obviously I'd put the child proof gates at the top and bottom of stair case... that's the easier part.
Thanks in advance!
