We have one of those places with an open foyer which has stairs with open railings that wrap around into the living room. My husbands solution was to cut thin boards to fit each section, punch holes in them and attach them with the plastic cuffs to the rails. This way the kids can have access to all levels and I don't have to worry about anyone going over the edge. He also numbered them when he removed them because they had to go in a certain order. When we decided to adopt again he was able to quickly put them back up. Tracy [Posted in FML 6800]
