Resolved Nintendo Switch: Blocked into bed by Gate without axe.

Hey there,

I am an idiot and somehow managed to plop down a gate in front of my bed before sleeping. I am now stuck in my bed while my axe is in the chest out of reach. I only have a watering can, a sword, and more fencing in my inventory. I can't seem to get by it or knock it down with what I have.
I've searched and found some similar threads to this one, but nobody seems to have a solution. One guy managed to wiggle past it, and several claim to be able to knock it down with a pickaxe (which is being upgraded right now) or another item.
I've attached a screenshot.

Anyone encountered this before?

 

Do you have Switch Online? You could see if there's an old cloud save on the server you can download.

 

Unfortunately no ☹️

 

I'm not sure how Switch control works, but can you place wood log above and below the gate to "change" it to it's full form so you can open it ?

 

That totally just worked! I didn't realize I had room on both sides to place posts. Thank you so much!
