User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with inflatable pool
Answer:	I found it using the search "convert pool ladder to deck mount" It was $29 with $4.99 shipping
Question:	what is the shipping box size? And weight
Answer:	We have this ladder for our 18' round ultra intex pool. The height is also 52". We did buy a pool ladder mat to put down because we didn't want the liner ruined. Sometimes the mat doesn't stay in place perfectly though. This will be the second summer that we will have this ladder. Our liner is 4 years old, so we may have to buy a new liner in another year or two if we're lucky. So far, we really like this ladder. It feels very sturdy compared to the one that comes with the pool.
Question:	Is there a top step or platform, or is that extra
Answer:	The ladder is designed to sit above the wall. The 7200 series ladder will work well with a 52" wall.
Question:	I see in the description that there is a separate deck mounting kit that can be purchased but can't find out how to purchase it and how much it is
Answer:	Readjust the bars. There is a slide groove on the mounting area for height adjustability between 48"-52". Set ladder in pool, adjust bar to the top of your pool ledge. Attach bars with screws to ladder . I also recommend screwing or zip tying the bars to the pool. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it fit any size pool
Answer:	We don't have a liner pool. It is a good ladder though. We really like it.
Question:	Is it removable so you can put a cover on? You don't have to unscrew the mounting every time do you

User questions & answers

Question:	I need a very stable ladder for a 42 inch pool - will this work or does anyone know which ladder will work
Answer:	I measured from the top of the top step down to base and it is 47 inches.
Question:	how do you hold them down
Answer:	My pool is 4 feet deep and it fits. I have it bolted screwed into a piece of wood secured to the deck and it fits fine for the depth. The photo looks exactly as it is in my pool. So the depth is what you want to be sure about. Good luck.
Question:	Are the deck mounting brackets adjustable? Can you slide them up to attach them to a deck that’s higher than the pool walls
Answer:	Mine is mounted to my wooden deck, so, yes if I want it removed I have to unscrew the mounting screws. I still use the solar cover and that area of the cover just does not set on the water surface. It does have to be unscrewed to put on the winter cover. Hope this helps...Bob
Question:	What is the height of the top step from the base of the unit
Answer:	From top step (over pool top rail) to the top of the hand rail, it measures 20 inches

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of hardware comes with this ladder
Answer:	Oh Yes! Our female Red Doberman loved the pool and would jump in for her toy and swim to the ladder and climb up, she was the best! We did have a rubber mat after the steps on the deck to give her front paws a grip. She died 3 years ago of cancer and the pool is not the same without her. :( We continue to have/use the steps though, probably for 10 years now.
Question:	Can you use with out deck?..does it have 2 sided steps
Answer:	This is a very stable ladder. 42" is a typical size of an inground pool- this will work for well for that height, however, the top step will be slightly higher than 42". If you have any additional questions please call 320-695-2899. FamilyPoolFun
Question:	What size step mat do i need to put under the steps
Answer:	In the instructions it tells you to put 40 lbs of play sand in the pockets where the arms go. that plus when you put it in the pool the rest of the cavities fill up with water which helps to hold it down. love this pool ladder. This is my second one. The first one lasted many many years.

User questions & answers

Question:	what size mat will I need for the pool liner for these steps ? I just ordered them
Answer:	Weight. You'll need to add some kind of weight to the bottom of the steps in the pool. It recommends sandbags. I used large kitty litter jugs with rocks in the bottom of the jug and then filled to the top with water so they would sink and then bungee cords to attach them to the bottom of the ladder. I used 2 jugs on each side and they worked well. Now I don't weigh them down and let them float - it makes it easier for my 100lb Black Lab to rest on them.
Question:	Can this attach to a deck
Answer:	This ladder is way too tall for a blow up pool/unsafe.
Question:	It this easy to get in and out of the pool at the begining and end of the season
Answer:	This ladder is adjustable to the height of your pool as it is being assembled, so it should work with your pool, as long as your pool doesn't exceed the maximum height of the ladder. Be sure to carefully read the instructions for measuring the height of your pool and adjust the ladder accordingly, or the bolt holes will not line up properly.
Question:	What keeps it from floting
Answer:	We use it for our 15' x 4' Intex pool, so I would say yes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work well for the side of a trampoline
Answer:	I'll assume you mean from the outside to get into the hot tub. The newer hot tubs have much larger sides. My hot tub is on a small wood platform and the former two steps I made for my previous hot tub was fine. Now this new high wall hot tub is a challenge for my short wife and were it was positioned had the deep seats by those steps.
Question:	Seller: Is this stair available in all white
Answer:	We never used a mat and have had no issues in the 4 years we've had it.
Question:	Can these steps be used on outside to get from ground to top of pool
Answer:	We cut the ladder and bolted it to our wooden deck. We used it as it was designed as an external ladder at first, then after 3-4 summers we built a deck, cut the ladder, and bolted to the deck. It is a great ladder no matter which way you use it!
Question:	Will this ladder work with a Hot Tub
Answer:	My son and myself were able to easily lift this out of the pool at the end of the season.

User questions & answers

Question:	what height pool will these fit
Answer:	My pool is 52 inches deep from bottom to the top of the rail. The steps are 5 inches below the top of top rail so the top step is 47 inches high from the bottom of the pool. You will have a 7 inch step up. I have a above ground pool. These are nice steps very easy getting in and out but the bottom step is a bit high. Also they maybe very heavy to pull out in the fall as there is sand and water in the side rails which is needed to keep them from floating. Hope this helps Good luck
Question:	How much do the stairs weigh once assembled? Without the sand, of course
Answer:	I don't believe it would attach well unless there is a platform surrounding the trampoline.
Question:	will the curve step system work in a round 24'x48'' pool with a deck all around the pool
Answer:	The stairs are all white.
Question:	will these steps fit a 54" deep pool
Answer:	Yes if the height of the steps works, they are light weight but I would use them outside definitely

User questions & answers

Question:	I need a very stable ladder for a 42 inch pool - will this work or does anyone know which ladder will work
Answer:	I measured from the top of the top step down to base and it is 47 inches.
Question:	how do you hold them down
Answer:	Just to make sure, these steps will only work for above ground pools if you have some form of deck around, or next to the pool. The height to the top step is 47" and my pool is 52" tall. The steps are a perfect fit and I feel that they would work very well in a 54" pool. We love these steps! I hope this has been helpful.
Question:	Are the deck mounting brackets adjustable? Can you slide them up to attach them to a deck that’s higher than the pool walls
Answer:	Once assembled, the weight of these stairs is about 40 lbs without the sand. If your pool is completely above ground, you'll need strong bodies (2 in the pool and 2 outside the pool) to properly lift and place the stairs into the pool (you have to be careful not to inadvertantly poke/rip your liner with a stair edge or corner). I mention this because you will need to fill the stairs with sand first before placing them in the pool and the added weight of the sand will most likely make it a challenge to get the stairs into the pool. Our pool is partially surrounded by a deck so we're fortunate that we don't have to lift very much (my wife and I, both in our 40's, can get them into our above-ground pool fairly easy), but the stairs themselves are durably constructed and they're by far the best stairs we've had. They also take up less space in the pool. Another bonus - no more having to clean sand from the pool with the other stairs that are weighed down by sand bags!
Question:	What is the height of the top step from the base of the unit
Answer:	Hi, I put this stair system in last summer. My deck is built around a 27' X 48" round pool. It works great. I did have to re-enforce the top step, that attaches to the deck, because the area I wanted it was a little higher than 48". No big deal, just a piece of wood 2" x 4" x 6" the length of the top step. This is the second season I used the steps and could not be more pleased.
