BANISTER TO BANISTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. While facing your staircase, posion the front of the Stair Barrier between the
banisters at the boom stair.
2. Posion the Stair Barrier as far to the rear of the tread as possible–if there are
mulple spindles on the tread where the Stair Barrier is to be installed, use the
spindle located closest to the rear of the tread. See Fig. 1.
3. Thread the top le strap of the Stair Barrier around the le banister and latch
the buckle. Next, thread the top right strap of the Stair Barrier around the
right banister and latch the buckle. You may use the banister, spindles, or both
to aach the straps. In some cases, you may choose to use mulple spindles.
See Figs. 2 and 3.
4. Repeat this process for the middle and boom straps.
5. Tighten all straps so that the Stair Barrier is taught.
6. As shown in Fig. 4, when properly installed, the sides of the Stair Barrier should
be ush with the banisters or spindles–there should be no gaps. The boom
edge of the Stair Barrier should be ush with the tread–there should be no gap.
7. If one side of the Side Barrier is unlatched to allow access to the staircase,
completely roll the Stair Barrier to the side that is sll aached to the banister.
See Fig. 5. When not in use, the Stair Barrier should not block the staircase.
See Fig. 6.

instructions. Read all warnings and instructions before
.reirraBriatSehtrevopetsottpmettareveN.noitallatsni
Never use at the top of any staircase. Only use with all
buckles latched and all straps tight and secure. Never
use the Stair Barrier without its internal struts. For use
.stepro/dnaegafosraey2otshtnom6nerdlihchtiw
Proper adult supervision is required — never leave any
child unattended. Never use with a child who can climb
over or dislodge the Stair Barrier. The Stair Barrier will
not prevent all accidents. Misuse may cause serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
Internal Struts must be
installed during use.
Do not remove Internal
Struts, except to clean.
Always latch Buckles
during use. Always
adjust all Straps to
ensure tight fit.
When one side of the Stair Barrier is unbuckled to
allow access to the staircase, completely roll the Stair
Barrier to other side of the staircase with Straps and
Buckles rolled internally. See Fig. 5 above.

CLEANING & CARE
The Indoor/Outdoor Stair Barriers are made of weather resistant fabric.
For spot cleaning: use a damp cloth to remove any dirt.
For dicult or large stains: rst remove internal plasc struts, See Fig. 10. Lay Stair Barrier on a at surface and
wet fabric with water. Use a soluon of warm water and mild dish soap along with a so bristle brush to clean and
remove stains. Thoroughly rinse o all soap residue and air dry. Do not machine wash, dry clean, or pressure wash.
BANISTER TO WALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Tools you will need: Electric drill, screw driver, level, stud nder, pencil, and hammer.
Parts included: Stair Barrier, install kit: Rod (rod already inserted into Stair Barrier), 2 brackets,
4 spacers, 8 anchor bolts, and 8 2-inch screws.
1. Refer to the previous page to choose the best place to aach straps and buckles on your banister. Aach the
Stair Barrier to the banister. The Stair Barrier will come with the rod inserted, but the rod can be removed and
may slide out, so hold it in place.
2. Pull the Stair Barrier across stairs with the rod in place. Slide one of the brackets onto the boom of the rod,
at side to the wall and ush to the boom of the step/oor. Mark the 4 bracket holes with a pencil. Roll the
Stair Barrier back to the banister side for the me being. If you have molding, install the 4 screws directly
through the bracket into the wood without the Stair Barrier. See Fig. 7.
If you are drilling into wood or studs, you will not need the Anchors. If you are aaching directly to drywall,
use a hammer to gently tap anchor bolts halfway into the drywall at the 4 pencil marks. Use a screwdriver to
install the rest of the way (unl ush with the wall). See Fig. 8.
NOTE: If you have a hand rail, according to code, it should be no lower than 34” inches and no higher than 38”
inches. This installaon kit is 33” inches including the bracket and rod.
3. Insert the Stair Barrier rod into the boom bracket. Take the 2nd bracket and slide onto the top of the rod, at
side against the wall. Use a level to ensure the rod is as level as possible. Mark 4 holes with a pencil. Roll the
Stair Barrier back to the banister side.
4. If you are aaching to drywall, use a hammer to gently tap anchor bolts halfway into the drywall at the 4
pencil marks. Use a screwdriver to install the rest of the way (unl ush with the wall). See Fig. 8.
5. If you are aaching both brackets directly to a wall, then you will not need the spacers that are provided. If
you have molding at the boom, you will likely need spacers to bring the bracket out from the wall. You will
use 1 to 4 of the spacers depending on the thickness of your molding. Once you have determined how many
spacers you need, screw your remaining screws through the bracket and appropriate number of spacers.
6. Slide the second bracket with screws and spacers onto the Stair Barrier rod. Line up to the anchor bolts and
screw into place. See Fig. 9.
7. When properly installed, See Fig. 4 on previous page, the sides of the Stair Barrier should be ush with the
banister or spindles–there should be no gaps. The boom edge of the Stair Barrier should be ush with the
tread–there should be no gap.
8. If the Side Barrier is unlatched to allow access to the staircase, completely roll the Stair Barrier to the
wall-side. See Fig. 5 on previous page. When not in use, the Stair Barrier should not block the staircase.
See Fig. 6 on previous page.
