Freestanding baby gate / guard.

Hi, our little one is starting to stand and move - and one of the areas they’re doing this is pulling themselves up onto our tv cabinet and reaching for the tv.

To help stop this I want to put a freestanding baby gate / guard around it and was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to get them?

Our cabinet is in the corner of the room and so i’d want something that would either go diagonally across the corner or allow for a little bend to curve around it.

Ive seen ones for pets, but they look like they are concertina-ered into a ‘Z’ shape and I’d worry about little fingers getting caught.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We've got one like this, you use Allen keys to lock it into whatever position you need each hit to be in, we currently use ours in front of our log burner, but used to use it as a room divider too, think there are different sizes https://ebebek.co.uk/products/babydan-olaf-wide-safety-gate?srsltid=AfmBOookTVHjKEyanOEqTsdGQHTJSGANoCmHR8rel7w60qo1acvasOJG

The Baby Dan playpen can be used to block off areas of a room.

We had the BabyDan configure gate around our stairs as they were a tricky shape. I think it'd work here.

You can also get those fabric ones that stretch across if you can anchor it on each side of the wall. That way, you can close it when baby is around but have it open when not.
