Wall Nanny (4 Pack - Made in USA) Indoor Baby Gate Wall Protector - No Safety Hazard on Bottom Spindles - Small Saver Pad Saves Trim & Paint - Best Dog Pet Child Walk Thru Pressure Gates Guard (Gray)

Excellent!

I have used these for several baby gates to contain a couple of large foster puppies. Since I haven’t wanted to drill into the walls, pressure mounting was a better choice for me. These pads help stabilize the end caps against the wall, while diffusing the pressure against the wall to help prevent denting. Very pleased.

The baby gate was easy to install, it’s very sturdy, I like the safety aspects of it. I would recommend it!

used to keep puppy from downstairs. Would be nice if somehow you could vary the thickness. Due to the baseboard causing the width to be different from top to bottom of the gate, I was 1/8 inch too narrow on the bottom to use the full gate with extensions. The result is that the adjusting screws are almost fully extended. Not attractive and, of course, weakens the application.

We have four baby gates in our house (my wife now refers to our house as a gated community), and we use wall protectors for all of them. We have been quite happy with this particular rectangular model (when used in the appropriate locations -- see below). They are easy to install, their rubber grip minimizes slippage of the gate, and they leave very little marking behind on the wall when they are removed. Wall protectors come in several different shapes and sizes, which is good because baby and pet gates can be installed in different types of locations (staircases, doorways, large walls, etc.). It is important to select the proper wall protector based on where you plan to place your gate. So... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A FEW GENERAL PRINCIPLES ABOUT WALL PROTECTORS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Wall protectors dont just protect your walls from dents and scratches; they also usually provide a better grip between the gate and the wall. This means your toddler or pet will have a harder time pushing the gate out of place (though they will still try!). 2) Almost all wall protectors will still leave a small mark on your wall, especially if its painted drywall. There are ways to minimize the mark left behind, but its probably unrealistic to expect absolutely no evidence that you had a gate installed. The protectors do, at least, help minimize the risk of DENTS in the wall. 3) A larger wall protector will generally have a lower risk of denting your wall than a smaller one because it will distribute the pressure from the gate over a larger area of the wall. 4) On the other hand, the larger the wall protector, the farther that contact point of the gate will end up being from adjacent structures like the floor. For example, with a large circular wall protector, the opening where you fit the gates tension screw is a few inches from the edge of the protector, which means the bottom of the gate will be an inch or two off the floor. Obviously having the horizontal bar at the bottom of the gates opening floating a few inches off the floor would create a tripping hazard! 5) Therefore, in general the best wall protector to use for each of your gates contact points is the one with the largest surface area that will fit into the space without displacing the gate. (Obviously Im ignoring aesthetics here...) With those principles in mind, lets consider three of the most common shapes of wall protectors for baby gates and where they might best be used: 1) Round: These wall protectors are usually 5-6 in diameter, with an opening in the center where you insert the gates tension screws. Their biggest advantage is creating less pressure on your walls due to their size (which is especially important against drywall). However, they wont fit in some places and they probably shouldnt be used against the floor, where they could prevent your gate from sitting flush against the floor. So use them on your gates upper contact points wherever you have a large wall space. 2) Rectangular: These are usually about 2 x 6. They put slightly more pressure on your walls than the large circular protectors, but they fit into places the circular ones wont. I suggest using these in two types of places: - In the horizontal orientation for ALL lower gate supports, EXCEPT in places where your horizontal wall space is only a few inches (such as the bottom of a narrow door frame). This will allow you to position the gate as close to the floor as possible. - In the vertical orientation for UPPER gate supports in a narrow door frame. 3) Square: These are typically about 2 x 2 -- in other words, not much larger than the gate support. I would use these in only one place: for the LOWER gate support at the bottom of a narrow door frame, where really nothing else would fit.

We bought these to protect walls and woodwork when we installed gates to keep our grandson in safe areas, away from stairs, etc. They work great and make the gates more secure. We highly recommend them.

We recently got a new puppy and needed to put up a gate to keep him confined to the family room. The wall nanny works perfectly in conjunction with the gate. It adds an extra level of security by spreading out the pressure on the wall. This also helps keep the the gate from marking the wall or causing the paint to peel. This is a great product!

I love this product save my walls
