We have an 8 ft opening from our family room to our dining room/kitchen. This weekend DS decided to become mobile (eek!). There is one spot that I can mount it on one wall, and directly across from that on the other wall is the window jam, so I need something that can install at an angle. Across an 8 ft opening.
I would love a retractable gate since this is a fairly high traffic area, very visible, etc... and when DS is in bed, etc... we don't need to have it up.
