This product doesn’t seem as strong or sturdy as advertised the inside steps seem okBut when it gets hot around a hundred degrees the outside steps become weak and unstable.

So, this worked out very well. Obviously I installed it in a reverse configuration ; I wanted the steps with handrails on the outside. The issue is that your pool vacuum cleaner will get behind the ladder. You have to deal with that. Stability and confidence? Very good. Minimal wobble or uncertainty. Fishing your cleaner from behind the steps in this configuration? High. All good, not the intention. Miles greater than the trash Intex sends you in the pool package, and worth the trouble. If Intex accounted for this and sent some kind of skirt for the inside(outside), this would be perfect.Great upgrade, expect to untangle your gear, absolutely worth it.I tried the pvc tube, sand weight, etc. Wasn't too impressed.Great upgrade to the standard ladder sent with these pools.

im disabled and had to wait to get the pool and ladder set up when my sons visited. SADLY it was just past the 30 days to return. its been together a month now and i am still unable to use the pool due to the instability of this product...not even bolts with washers to attach the 2 sides just screws the pull out

We just opened the pool for the season so please excuse the appearance around the pool. Ladder was easy to assemble. Pretty much one person to assemble but, you'll need two to lift over pool because it's a heavy ladder. I didn't like the idea of putting sand inside the ladder forpersonal fear that sand can somehow leak out of ladder and mixing with water so we decided to drown the ladder into pool and fill it up with water instead. There was some floating issues so we took thick zip ties and tied ladder to top pool railing for now. Make sure a pool pad is under ladder to protect pool liner. Steps are wide enough to sit down and relax. Ladder on outside seems sturdy and very little wobble. Overall good sturdy ladder. UPDATE..I noticed if the outside ladder sits in high heat weather all day it will soften the plastic ladder. So when you climb it, it will bow a bit.

I can't keep this in the water. It keeps floating up. Instructions were just awful and useless. My dad and I were able to figure out - he did one side and I did the other. Instructions were in English but didn't seem to make sense, like they were missing a step or explanation.Directions say to fill with sand to keep it in the water. What I don't understand is how do you get it out of the pool in the winter if it's full of sand. Perhaps that's why mine keeps floating - because I filled with water? My other ladder was filled with water and wasn't a problem. Then as i lifted it out of the water, it would drain and I could lift over the wall. I can't understand how you'd lift this.I love the steps concept. Exactly why I picked this style. Very sturdy. I imagine works best with a deck (which it seems compatible to do). Right now I don't have a deck so need the last side. But once I have the deck, i won't need to buy another ladder.My only complaint is that the steps are open in the back so difficult to clean the pool there. Where my ladder is positioned makes our hard to move aside. I believe this is more of an issue of my placement. But if this wad attached to a deck, you can't move aside at all so cleaning would be impossible. I believe other styles like this are solid in back - to avoid an algae problem and help with weight.

I love this step and ladder combo. Sturdy and easily put together. Called Save more on pools with a question and their customer service was great... very helpful. The only thing needed for this is to add weights otherwise steps will float. It's also a good price. Went to local pool stores and they wanted double the money for this exact ladder.

It was fairly easy to set up and is sturdy enough for a fat Texas boy. One thing to be aware of is how much of a hazard this thing could be for small children. Immediately after setting it up I looked down into the water and the little kid in me kicked in. I thought how cool it would be to go under water and behind the rails under the stairs and hide out playing pirate treasure hunter.The issue is ... this thing is ****ing heavy for a little kid. If a kid got caught behind this, they are unlikely to be able to push it out of the way if they cannot get out. Ok, enough of my paranoia. But it crossed my mind. If you have small kids, be sure to always keep it pulled snug to the side so no one can get in between the rails and get under it. It would be nice if it came with a way to make sure it was always close enough to the sides so a small child (who's head cannot reach above the water) cannot go behind and under the ladder.
