Ornamental Grill Styled Gates:

 Injuries may be avoided if a mesh screen is 

installed on the gate. Injuries resulting from hands and feet becoming stuck in 
the gate or children riding on the gate while gate is moving can be greatly 
reduced if this “screen” or “mesh” is applied to the gate as a safety precaution.
