I made a cover for the stairs opening, more for safety as we have a 4 year old boy and a labrador who is a klutz, bless her. This happens to make a nice spot for the dogs bed while moving, out of the way so no stepping over her to move around and secure. The only downside is having to move the dogs bed when you need to get out, but we're ok with this. Oh, and I had to cover the kill switch to stop her resting her chin on it!
