hi Sue,
 
i think you might be talking about a photo of mine?

if thats the one, i made the barrier myself.  i bought a sheet of perspex
(plexiglass) from a plastic distributor (who cut it to size for me), and
just bent it so the edges are against the door frame.  it doesnt need any
clips, etc as the force holds it there.
 
just make it 10cm or so wider than the door frame (so it curves), and
thin enough to be flexible (mine is 3mm thick)
 
the barrier is 65 cm high (just over 2 feet), and my houdini cant get
over it.  if you have a houdini, i wouldnt go any lower than this as you
cant really put a round pipe over the top like you can on straight door
barriers.  it needs to be high enough so they cant even reach the top
when they jump :)
 
it was a bit hard to step over, but you get used to it (plus strong leg
muscles :)
 
hope this helps
shona
