Blue TorrentEasy Pool Step Ladder for Above-Ground Pools

Super easy to put together. I added the sand to both sides outside of the pool. I used a cup and funnel to keep the sand even between the sides. Once they fill just tip the stairs forward to distribute the sand to the other chambers and keep filling. Put the handles on and secure into place with the screws. The two of us were able to lift it up and over the side of the pool with no problems. Tip it around to let the water in and the air out, put into place and secure the top to your decking. Super easy. The hand rails could be better for sure but overall they are nice steps.

We were thankful to find these steps for our new pool because we are not skinny & therefore would not fit on standard steps. I never liked standard ladder types anyway (even when I was young & thin) because it felt awkward climbing straight up. My knees haven’t been great since my college days. These are very sturdy. I highly recommend these pool steps!

I bought my house and the pool that came with the house had this ladder installed. It was old and needed to be replaced. I found the same one here on Amazon and watched for the price to go down to 269.00. It is a nice ladder. I have a 24 round pool (52 in high) with a deck up to it. It fits perfectly. You must follow the assembly instructions! 25lbs of pool sand in each side. Lean it fwd to duspurse the sand through it correctly. Lower it slowly into the pool so it has time to fill the little holes with water.The uprights are flimsy so we added 1, 4ft pvc pipe in each 4 uprights. That helped with the sturdiness.add ALL screws. Make sure to screw the handles to the uprights or they will continue to pull up and out. Once we screwd it to the deck it stayed down and hasn't moved.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love the stairs worth the money easy to get in and out with….

If you want to skip pouring sand inside the stairs or tying weights to the side to prevent the stairs from floating, then this method is for you. The reason the stairs float is due to the rails being able to slide up and down inside the brackets that secure it to your deck. To solve this you want to get the stairs positioned inside the pool where you want them, then secure the brackets to your deck, then screw one screw into the side of the brackets and directly into the rail as shown in the picture (one screw in each bracket to rail). Remember you are screwing into plastic, so it doesn’t have to be super tight, so just snug them up, if you go slow, you will feel when the bracket and the rail has been snugged together by the screw, this is where you want to stop. I used 2 of the screws provided to do this. The stairs will fill with water due to the holes already in them and the screws prevent them from floating.

Have had this for 2 years. Works great.

The media could not be loaded. Like: in title. Dislike: unstable. We placed recommended sand weights on bottom and it tries to float away when you step on in. We added more weight No help. Would not be safe with small children or fragile adults. We got it so mom and dog could enter pool from deck without assistance. Because of its instability, someone must be there to hold in place. If makers have solution to problem, we are all ears. In the video, I barely touched and it moved back toward pool
