My DH does not want to mount anything onto our walls. We have an opening in our great room that is 49". We don't want anything too unsightly due to the fact it is in the room we use and entertain in the most. However, this opening leads to an area we really don't want DD in. If no one knows of a pressure mounted gate that extends to this lenght, what is a good hard mounted one that does.

Here's one:

I believe that there are more at www.babycatalog.com.

While I understand your DH's feelings, remember that a pressure mounted gate is NOT recommended at the top of stairs. Baby can lean or climb on it and easily dislodge it, sending baby flying down the stairs. Walls are easier to repair than babies.

I have that gate and I cannot even tell you how badly it stinks. It is VERY hard to use. I would bite the bullet and get a gate that attaches with hardware.

Once your place gets filled up with toys, guests won't even notice the gate! :)
