Confer Plastics 6000X Confer Pool Ladder, Gray

This ladder is made of fine materials and is easily assembled. A FINE PRODUCT!,,

I had a project to make above ground pool steps not suck like the OEM ladder that came with the pool. I built a small portable pool height platform, ordered this for the inside the pool steps, and had intentions to build the outside steps with wood. When it arrived i assembled it and liked it so much i got a second one for the outside the pool part of the project. The bottom step is nice and smoothe, to protect the pool liner. So to protect the outer ladder i tamped gravel and put a rubber floormat under it. The sliding height adjustment worked great for both instances. On both ladders, i skipped the “don’t swim behind the ladder” baffle it came with, so i have 2 sets of those 4 pieces as spare parts. Not using that lets me store a cooler under the outside steps, and shine light thru them for visibility. I screwed the inner ladder to a hinged 2x6 on the platform so i could lift the ladder out of the pool for winter, pool cleaning, etc. I had to drill a few extra drain holes strategically, which i am certain voided any warranty. But this would allow a person to lift the ladder easily if they somehow got trapped behind or under it. I was very impressed with the quality of these steps- the look and feel, and the versatility i needed. Kudos to the people who engineers who designed these; they understood the assignment and did a fantastic job !

I really like this pool ladder ,its very sturdy, all our pool ladders have been very flimsy but this ladder is excellent, takes a little bit of time to put together ,we didnt realize we needed sand in the legs but we just went to the beach and got it . We bolted it to out small deck ,but in winter we will unbolt it and put away for the winter. We both weigh about 200 lbs each but it seems to hold the load well.

Good quality ladder -- fairly easy to assemble. The instructions aren't stellar, but there aren't a ton of parts, so it's no big deal. Note for anyone who's interested: we have a 12x24 Intex XTR framed pool. The anti-swim-under guard in the back of the ladder was pressing up against the curved part of the heavy fabric, and I was worried about putting too much stress on the side of the pool when people climbed the ladder. Rather than remove the part outright, I moved it up a step (both at the top and the bottom) and spaced the stairs accordingly. The manufacturer might not recommend this, but it gave us plenty of room to the side of the pool and still does decent job of keeping people from swimming under the ladder. The top of the guard is slightly above the water level, but it doesn't matter, as it's directly under the top step of the ladder.

This ladder is perfect! I bought it to replace the flimsy one that came with our new pool. It’s sturdy and easy to assemble. Even better? It’s made in the USA 🇺🇸 the price was very reasonable too.
