Sturdy it’s an excellent choice

Product arrived on time. Do not order if not installing for above ground pool with WOODEN deck. You will need a 1.75\" hole saw and drill to complete the installation. If you are uncomfortable/inexperienced measuring and drilling; be prepared to hire someone. I was able to assemble and install in less than 2 hours. But, I did have to buy the hole saw attachment which range from $8 to $30. I found a good one at Ace Hardware on sale.

Solid budget friendly ladder a tad shaky when installed but for the price would recommend

Thanks

Works great and a far better replacement compared to our old ladder. Sits tighter to wall meaning our pool sweep no longer gets tangled up behind the ladder. I ordered this ladder so I could easily remove it for pool sweep use, but turns out I can just leave the ladder installed and still auto-sweep the pool.

Amazing ladder for our swimming pool. I highly recommend it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Buy the ladder! Great product looks good too! Size: Perfect Size for my 15x52 above ground pool. Attached to my deck.

Great as expected

After struggling with flimsy pool ladders for years, I finally invested in this metal swimming pool ladder—and what a game-changer! From the moment I assembled it, I could tell this was in a completely different league from my previous plastic models. The sturdy stainless steel construction feels excellent, with no wobbling or flexing when climbing in and out of the pool. It remains firmly in place even when my kids race up and down it (despite my constant reminders not to!). The weight capacity is impressive, efficiently supporting adults of all sizes without any concerning creaks or movement. Installation was straightforward, and the included hardware was high-quality. The rubber-coated steps provide excellent grip even when wet, giving me peace of mind for children and older family members. No more slippery accidents! I particularly appreciate the thoughtful design touches—the handrails extend above the pool deck at just the right height, making entry and exit smooth and confidence-inspiring. The ladder also features protective caps on all edges to prevent scratching the pool liner. While it was slightly more expensive than other options, its durability makes it well worth the investment. After a full summer of heavy use, it still looks brand new and shows no signs of rust or corrosion. If you're tired of replacing cheap ladders every season, do yourself a favor and upgrade to this metal pool ladder. Your pool experience will instantly improve, and you'll wonder why you waited so long!

Steps are a little too flexible. Kind of freaks me out that they'll break. I tell everyone to step near the rails. Stronger.
