DIY is not only about making
new pieces of furniture, but is also a great way to feel independent and be
able to childproof and make your home safer. Thinking about the safety of our
homes is important not just where infants are concerned but even for slightly
older children who might need a lot of moving space for their physical games
and activities. Here are some ways you can do it:
Smoothing edges: Most young parents worry about the sharp edges
of pieces of furniture like center tables that can be dangerous for young
children if hit into. You can use our woodworking tools to smooth these edges and give it a good finish so that
everyone can breathe in peace.
Installing safety gates: The staircase can be quite scary if the entry
is left open, and parents or babysitters are left with no option but to keep
looking out so that the kids do not venture into that area. The easy solution
is to install a safety gate, that you can try making yourself if you feel like
it. Another option is to buy a readymade model and use equipment like a drill
kit to install it yourself.
Bridging the gaps: Large gaps in railings or window grills are
not a good idea when adventurous kids are around. You can use our metalworking or woodworking tools to construct additional pieces that can close
the gaps on the grill. These can be attached temporarily and can be removed
once the children are grown up.

Increase height of displays: To put away all breakable items above the
reach of children, you can put up very simple wall shelves using just a single
plank of wood with some angles to keep it up. They look elegant and nice, and
are very easy to DIY.
We hope that these tips help
to improve the safety of your home and let kids enjoy themselves without fear
of getting hurt. Do check out our website for more details of our appliances
