Please can you get your thinking caps on?

Friend having christening at Grandparents house. Drive goes onto road - but no gate, no side gate and no facility to put one in.

Either side of gate are brick pillars so thinking of some kind of fencing or mesh/screening that can be put up and taken down as needed. I know chldren should be watched but there is always one that escapes!

Ideas please!

Borrow neighbours' wheelie bins and line them across?

you can buy a screen thing I think from jojomamanbebe? or PHP or somewhere?

it's this

but quite expensive unless you're going to use it a lot

Thanks very much - it would make sense to have it for a few years - they have 7 grandchildren to date - and possibly more to come!
No neighbours - detached house so no wheelie bins but good idea!

we used a firegaird to make quite a big fence (to keep the cleaners puppy contained) last week.

it fitted fine and im sure it would be wide enough for a drive and that a few cable ties cleverly joined could secures it to the brick pillars
