Blue Wave NE1175 Heavy Duty In-Pool Ladder for Above Ground Pools

This ladder fell apart and resulted in a few tears in my new liner. After we made adjustments it was fine.

The ladder is easy to install. It is very sturdy except for the top of the ladder. It is plastic with screws into the hand supports and the ladder frame. It would hasve been better of those areas were reinforce3d with thicker plastic.

As many others have stated, the directions could've been better, but if you take your time and look at the photos, you'll be fine. I did not add sand to the uprights, as I don't want to take any chances of it escaping into my pool, because it's impossible to get it out of there if that happens. I did fill them with water and used a sandbag attached to the backside of the ladder on the swim barrier to anchor it down so it didn't float. Until I got that bag, I sat an old paint can filled with rocks on the top to keep it from floating up. If you know anything at all about science and pool ladders, they all float a bit unless secured somehow. Those is not a new thing. Overall, compared to the old ladder I had that was metal and plastic and not very stable, this one is so much widet and more stable. It made it much easier for my older relatives visiting from out of town to get in and out with ease.One other note, I have a 54 deep pool and the deck up to it is EXACTLY the same height as the pool rail, but I had to cut the pieces that go into the ladder and then into the brackets that get screwed down or the ladder would never have reached the ground inside the pool.

After reading the reviews I was a little nervous to purchase but we desperately needed new stairs for our pool and for them to arrive before July 4th.I decided to give them a try and was thinking worst case I can return them. I put them together myself, based on the reviews I didn't even read the instructions, I pulled up the YouTube video and just followed that. Very happy with these steps.

If it was angled further away wall u could climb down up much easier

easy but not so easy. instructions hard to follow in postioning some thing. they want you use play sand to weight in down but pea gravel in cheaper and neater.
