I've priced hearthgates to surround my wood stove. New on amazon, they run around $180. Used on Craigslist--$125. My 15 month old already walks by the wood stove and says hot--so I think she is figuring it out. However, she only has one speed--full on. I am worried she is going to take a digger one day while running past the stove and fall right into it. Therefore, a hearth gate is a must in this house.
Anyway, I went to HD and found these sections of railing--in 4 and 6 ft sections. Which is the same size as my hearth. I paid $50 total for three sections. I drilled holes top and bottom where they overlapped in the corners and bolted them together. We'll see how it works.
