Gate for double banister steps

Now that LO is crawling and cruise all of the place, and his favorite place to be is in our hallway. I had to go gate shopping. 

You think this would have been a easy task but it wasn't. 

Since I have my step has a double banister and a hand rail on one it made it hard to find a gate that work with it 

This is what my steps look like

Still a regular would work cause you need to have at least one wall to install it, I had to do some reach. 

The first gate I brought didn't work at all cause It tight pressure to lock since there now real way to get it to have tight pressure I sent it back. 

The second gate was white and didn't it didn't look good with out step and you have to add a  2 x 4 and a bunch of strap to make it work and my hubby thought it would look tacky so I brought it back 

Then I order a dog gate from amazon that worked perfect  it's a north state super gate deluxe decor gate ... It stands alone, but used straps to make it super secure .. And it looks good too!!! 

Here's pics 

This is how we strapped it 

Hope this helps anyone that's having the same issue
