When I took it out of the box there is a sticker on the ladder that says 225 lbs. **Q: Weight limit says 300lbs. I am reading they received a 225lb ladder. Is this a bait and switch? The 225lb ladder is only $130** A: The actual safety warning labels on the ladder say 225 lbs. That said, I’m very close to that limit and the ladder feels like it could easily handle more. Very solid feeling once installed. **Q: What is the stainless steel grade? ( I prefer 316)** A: hell i dont know it does not rust & is strong same grade as commercial ladders ## Frequently Bought Together - Blue Wave NE1145 Premium Stainless Steel In-Pool Ladder for Above Ground Pools, Silver - Blue Wave NE1228PR Aluminum Deck Flanges for Above Ground Pool Ladder - Pair - Swimline HydroTools Protective Pool Ladder Mat, Multi, One Size (87953) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/6691732-blue-wave-premium-stainless-steel-in-pool-ladder-for-above](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/6691732-blue-wave-premium-stainless-steel-in-pool-ladder-for-above) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
