This               pool               ladder               meets               or               exceeds               BOCA               /               ANSI               /               NSPI               standards               and               our               local               building               codes               for               above               ground               pools.

The               steps               are               enclosed               so               that               children               can               not               become               entrapped               in               them               or               behind               them.

This               ladder               is               adjustable               for               pools               with               higher               side               walls,               like               ours               at               54               inches.

There               is               also               a               self               closing               gate               feature,               which               can               be               locked               when               pool               is               not               in               use.

This               is               the               ladder               we               purchased               for               our               above               ground               pool               this               past               June,               2007.

Before               we               did               however               I               took               the               information               and               a               picture               of               the               ladder               to               our               local               building               inspector               for               approval.

In               this               area               they               want               a               self               closing               gate               enclosure               in               concrete               for               all               above               ground               pool               ladders.

When               we               looked               into               this               it               was               going               to               cost               an               extra               $1000.00               and               this               ladder               had               the               mechanism               built               in               to               it.

He               said               this               ladder               met               the               approval               codes               for               the               pool.
               Neither               the               pool               company               that               sold               us               our               pool               or               the               installer               would               assemble               the               ladder               or               place               it               in               the               pool,               due               to               insurance               and               liability               on               their               behalf.

So               it               was               up               to               my               husband               and               I               to               get               this               ladder               assembled               and               installed               in               the               pool               for               inspection               and               use               of               the               pool.

When               I               opened               the               boxes               that               the               ladder               arrived               in               to               inspect               and               check               for               all               parts,               I               discovered               that               the               bolts               and               screws               were               missing.

I               called               the               pool               company               and               they               told               me               to               call               the               manufacturer               to               get               these               shipped               avoiding               them               as               the               middle               man.

The               manufacturer               would               not               do               that,               in               fact               they               said               the               only               way               I               could               get               the               parts               was               to               have               the               pool               company               call               them               that               they               do               not               deal               with               the               public.

I               recalled               the               pool               company               and               they               did               manage               to               get               the               company               to               ship               the               hardware               to               them               and               brought               it               to               me               a               week               later!

In               the               meantime,               I               went               to               the               local               hardware               store               and               purchased               what               I               needed               to               assemble               this               ladder.

While               this               does               not               seem               like               a               big               deal               and               it               really               isn't               you               have               to               keep               in               mind               that               since               the               ladder               is               partially               submerged               all               hardware               that               comes               in               contact               with               water               needs               to               be               stainless               steel               so               that               it               will               not               rust,               which               makes               it               a               little               more               costly.
               According               to               the               manufacturer               it               is               easily               assembled               with               "snap               lock"               construction.

I               did               not               find               it               all               that               easy               to               put               together,               in               fact               it               was               downright               difficult.

The               theory               was               great               but               the               actual               time               and               strength               it               took               to               get               this               together               was               over               an               hour               and               a               half               on               just               the               snap               together               part,               which               are               the               steps.

We               had               to               get               a               rubber               mallet               and               a               piece               of               wood               to               help               snap               these               parts               together.

The               other               thing               that               they               do               not               mention               is               that               you               need               to               let               the               steps               sit               in               the               sun               to               warm               so               you               can               bend               them               into               the               position               you               need               for               installation.

Now,               you               might               think               I               needed               this               manner               of               installation               because               I               do               not               have               a               lot               of               strength               but               that               is               honestly               not               the               case,               since               two               grown               men               could               not               snap               these               steps               in               either.

The               wood               was               used               to               place               across               the               plastic               above               the               snapping               part               and               smacked               with               the               mallet               so               that               the               pressure               of               the               smack               would               distribute               across               the               piece               and               not               crack               any               part.

Once               it               started               into               the               hole               you               could               push               it               into               place               by               hand.
               Once               the               steps               were               all               in               place               putting               the               rest               of               it               together               was               much               easier.

They               suggest               pouring               coarse               sand               or               gravel               into               one               side               of               the               upright               for               additional               weight,               this               is               the               side               that               will               go               into               the               pool.

We               took               the               sand               out               of               the               upright               when               we               closed               the               pool               for               the               winter;               it               made               getting               the               ladder               in               and               out               of               the               pool               very               difficult               for               a               husband               and               wife               to               accomplish               because               of               the               weight               involved.

We               are               going               to               let               water               be               the               extra               weight               this               coming               year,               since               there               are               small               holes               already               in               the               ladder               and               water               flows               into               it               anyways.
               When               you               put               this               ladder               into               your               pool               have               at               least               two               adults               present.

We               placed               the               weighted               side               in               first               so               we               could               adjust               the               height               with               the               other               side               and               connect               them               at               the               top               and               center               top               step.

Even               though               there               was               additional               weight               in               the               pool               side               it               floated,               making               it               difficult               to               hold               in               place,               we               figured               this               problem               out               quickly               and               ran               the               garden               hose               to               the               upright               opening               filling               it               with               water               more               quickly               helping               it               to               sink               into               the               pool               bottom.

We               attached               the               outside               steps               with               no               problem               and               the               ladder               was               now               fully               functional.

The               self               closing               gate               works               very               well               and               is               wonderful               if               you               have               small               children               you               want               to               keep               out               and               off               the               steps.

Just               remember               this               is               not               fool               proof,               there               is               no               better               safety               with               any               pool               than               having               adults               present               when               children               are               near               or               swimming               in               a               pool.
               The               bottom               steps               on               the               ladder               seem               a               bit               giving               when               you               step               on               them               as               an               adult               but               are               fine               for               getting               in               and               out               of               the               pool.

It               was               recommended               to               me               that               we               put               some               kind               of               mat               in               the               pool               to               safeguard               the               liner               against               the               constant               abrasion               of               the               ladder               bottom.

In               looking               at               what               was               available               I               improvised               my               own               cushion               for               the               bottom               of               the               ladder               legs.

I               took               a               foam               pool               noodle               with               a               wide               hole               inside               it.

Cut               it               to               length               of               the               ladder               bottom,               slit               it               up               the               center               and               slid               it               on               to               each               leg               bottom.

I               used               gorilla               tape               to               hold               it               in               place,               not               wrapping               it               completely               around,               just               across               the               top,               strapping               it.

I               have               to               say               that               this               method               worked               well               for               us               this               summer               and               did               not               leave               rub               marks               or               indentations               in               the               pool               bottom,               so               I               will               be               doing               this               again               when               we               open               the               pool               this               spring.
               When               we               closed               the               pool               for               the               winter               our               biggest               obstacle               was               the               ladder               and               removing               it               easily.

It               took               four               of               us               to               get               it               out               and               I               got               completely               soaked               in               water               with               the               removal               since               we               had               to               take               the               ladder               out               in               two               pieces,               front               and               back,               and               ended               up               having               to               turn               it               sideways               to               get               it               out.

All               because               we               added               the               extra               gravel               weight               as               recommended.

We               removed               as               much               of               the               gravel               as               we               could               for               winter               storage               and               will               start               with               just               water               when               we               reopen               the               pool.
               Overall               this               ladder,               once               you               get               it               together               and               installed               in               the               pool,               is               quite               nice.

I               like               the               extra               safety               feature               of               a               self               closing               gate               and               steps               being               self               enclosed               as               well.

We               just               did               not               like               the               awkwardness               of               the               ladder               when               it               came               to               handling               it.

That               may               be               due               to               the               fact               we               are               first               time               pool               owners.
