I found someone giving up there old fence for 50 bucks as they wanted something more aesthetic. The brand is from Baby Barrier, which isn't a DIY brand, but the concepts all seem the same. The metal rods are 1inch, and I was able to find some Sleeves with caps on ebay for that size. It seems like the newer sizes are 1/2"- 5/8", but I felt this price couldn't be beat. Do these fences hold up for long times? Any cons in this approach?
