First of all, you need to make sure your stair gates are JPMA certified. Your application may direct which type of safety gates you purchase. If you have a top of stair gate that needs to be mounted at an angle so you can secure to a stud then you should get angle mounted stair gates.
If you are concerned about wood posts for your stair gates and you want something something that looks a little nicer on your stairs then you should look into wood stair gates.
