We here at the NGLTC have never been require to use "fire retardant" skirts.
So found that a few sets of colored sheets from Walmart worked great and are
cheap. A single bed sheet split down the middle covered a lot of table
sides.

We have been adding plexiglass in the interactive kid areas, so they can get
a bit closer. For the most part we use rope, unforunatly that doesn't always
keep the little one away, but it works pretty well most of the time. Also
its nice in the derailing prone areas, even though we try to limit having
areas like that.

As for making rope barriers, I just made use of all the LEGO buckets filling
up my garage. I cut a hole in the top and placed a piece of 2" PVC pipe into
bucket with a few scoopes of concrete. They hold up very well. I also found
that when we had one piece of rope going around the layout little ones would
still shoot under, but when we added a second rope they stayed back better.
