Review: Great set of pool stairs and hack to weigh front down - We got these steps last year to replace a vertical ladder that broke. I get painful foot cramps that many times brought on by the pressure the rungs of a traditional ladder on the soles of my feet. These steps solved that problem so i would recommend them for anyone who has similar foot or other issues like back problems using a deck ladder. Before i put the stairs in for a second year i wanted to fix the issue some other customers reported where do to buoyancy the front part of the stairs tend to lift up a couple of inches. I the solution that i used was inexpensive, unobtrusive, easy to install and has solved the problem. I used a precut two foot 4inch in diameter PVC pipe, two end caps, 36 inch zip ties and bag of cement. I used pvc glue to affix one end cap and filled cement and glued other end cap and let it set over night. Then turn over the stairs over so the bottom step was faceup on the deck. Drill 4 holes into the riser of the bottom stairs as shown. Measure or simply use the PVC pipe as a guide drill 4 companion holes above the pipe insert the tails of the zip on the bottom hole and back up and out throught the top hole so you can get better leverage to pull the zip tie tight towards you. The 4 zips seem to have done their job and hold the weight securely in place. The zips being on the front bottom riser rather than the blue stair are barely noticeable and the weight is doing its job as the stairs now rest flatly on the pool liner. Otherwise these the family love the stairs, they are sturdy enough to sit on and makes getting in and out of the pool a breeze.
Review: Sturdy and safe! So much better than the standard Intex pool ladder! - The ladder arrived in two boxes, but one of them was missing the 4th blue step piece. I contacted the seller, and they responded right away—sending out the missing part the very next day. Their customer service was exceptional and friendly! We received the piece a couple of days later and were able to assemble everything without any issues. The ladder itself is very well-made and sturdy. We added 40 lbs of play sand for stability and chose to place the larger steps outside the pool. It’s definitely worth the price! We feel so much safer getting in and out of the pool now—the Intex ladder that came with our pool was tiny and honestly pretty scary to use. This is a huge improvement!
