Anti-Slip in-Pool Steps with Outside Flip-Up Ladder | White/Blue Steps | for Above Ground Swimming Pools | Can Mount to Decks 48" to 54" H | Safety Stairs Capacity Up to 350 lbs

These are great steps as long as you weight them down.I bought 2 sets, one for inside and one for outside. The outside set I weighed down with 4 - 12 inch cement paver stones set on 2x2 beams I set across the frame and it was very sturdy.The inside I had a little more trouble with and ended up using plastic sand bags with about 80 lbs of sand and it worked ok, but could have used more weight. I also connected them together to help stabilize them.A couple of FYI's....the hand rails are not very sturdy and cannot support much weight so don't try leaning on them. And the rise of the steps is a little higher than I thought it would be so if you have mobility issues and can't bend your knees very much, this may be an issue.

These above ground pool steps are 100% worth the money. They have made our pool so much more accessible not only for my mother, who has a hard time with her mobility, but for our twin boys who are 2. They look wonderful too! They are very sturdy, easy to put together and install. Perfect size and fit because they don’t take up a ton of room in our 21ft round pool.

We purchased the blue and white steps and installed them in early spring, so we have been using them for a couple of months. The steps are really sturdy and feel solid when stepping on them. No bounce from floating or movement at all. Each step has raised circles for traction. They were extremely easy to put together. The rungs on the side allow for water to pass thru which really helps keep the algae from forming. Getting the steps in the water was a little challenging, due to they wanted to float. There are holes in the pieces to allow for water to fill them up, so just take your time and allow the water to seep in slowly, so you don’t get air pockets. Once in the water, we tied a 50lbs sandbag to each side and placed them on a crossbar inside the steps. There is an option to fill frame with sand, but we already had the sandbags from previous steps, so we reused them.The only reason for a 4 star, is that the rails are not as sturdy. They have a lot of give side to side,Also, if the top step isn’t in the water, it does get really hot. If you don’t have a colored step, this probably isn’t an issue.

It's very tall! My issue was, the ladder was getting harder and harder to climb. Also, I have dogs that need to be able to get out of they fall in. These steps completely cured that. I love it! One of the rails will no go down all the way. It comes apart when grabbed. We have a 30,000 gal oval above ground pool with deck built around it. We did buy the mat to protect the liner at the bottom. That was hard to get rolled out and kept in place to place the steps. The anchored weights are a must. Especially for the bottom step. We could not find any that we thought would fit it. The ones shown in the instructions could be bought anywhere. We used gallon water jugs, play sand and water. You'll need to fill the jug almost all the way, then top off with water. they fit perfectly on bottom step.

The stairs themselves are great however we are one of the customers that had an issue with them floating despite being screwed to the deck. Being unable to locate the weights shown in the product picture I reached out to the seller. They do not carry the weights for this product and suggested we used sand to address the floating issue. We had already tried sand and it was not successful. We ended up purchasing bags from another seller and used pea stone which seems to be working. Again, the stairs are great but the inability to purchase the additional product to fit their steps along with the lack of a solution offered by the company was frustrating to say the least.

Not hard to assemble. Use the upper half of a 2-liter bottle as a funnel for the sand. 1 40-50 lb bag was all we could get in, but it seems to be enough. I drilled 1 1/4" hole in the frame just under the top step on both sides to allow air out, water in to the sand better.

Steps were easy to put together, steps are sturdy, handrails are cheap and are not very sturdy, steps float at bottom step even after filling with water. Price was decent. Better than aluminum steps that came with pool. Buy weights when buying these steps.n

The stairs are sturdy. The instructions were not that great, however I have had a pool for over 30 years and have put together stairs similar to these, which made it easy for me. As far as the stairs floating, they all do. However my solution which I used with all my stairs, is to fill empty gallon jugs, with labels removed with sand. Two bottles on the stairs keep it held down with no movement. see the attached photos. I hope this helps everyone out there.
