    Hi,
    Does anyone know where or what time of stair gate to get to fit rounded banisters? We've found it impossible to find one that will fit securely as its not a flat surface its going up against apart from the wall side.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try fixing some hard but compressible material between the disc/arm and the banister. Something like 10mm cork or rubber strip should do the trick.

    Cooploop we can't get a gate on the top of our stairs because it's not flat :( any ones I have tried are not 100% secure for my liking. I put a gate on my son's bedroom and at the bottom of the stairs we have a Lindam one from aldi which is perfect.

    So is mine top and bottom, but the banisters in between the big ones are smaller, so I'll most likely go up a step at bottom and down a step at the top, if that makes sense.
