Dock Ladder, 4 - Step, Flip Up

I absolutely love this deck ladder. It is great for my above ground pool because it doesn't touch the liner no matter who stands on it. I made a base to mount it on and then mounted the base to the deck so I can move it easily if needed. The enclosed picture shows the deck almost finished. The ladder is great because it can be lifted out of the pool when the pump is running which makes the water spin quite fast. This causes anything in the pool to collect in the middle which is easily scooped out. My old pool stairway allowed a place for algae to grow and was constantly a problem. It also used up a lot of space in the pool. Don't have any problem at all with this ladder. Highly recommend it. I would buy it again if I needed another one.

We had to put in a different ladder this year and decided to try this one. We really are pleased with how great it works with our pool. The kids love it and we like it because we built it onto our deck so it doesn't even touch the bottom of our pool.To us this is a win win situation. It is very sturdy and is made to last a long time.

The reviews did not disappoint. This was/is a great add to our Lakehouse. Very safe, easy to install, looks great and wide footings feel great on the feet.

Got this ladder for a dock that sits on a lake. The first ladder we had was difficult to use and wasn’t long enough. This ladder is long and easy to access. The high handles are easy to grab and the ladder feels sturdy. The only drawback, and it’s really not an issue, is that the rungs are slightly narrow but not so much that it will be a problem.

Easy install with 8 stainless steel lag bolts (3/8"x3.5") and flat washers. Yes, difficult to raise the ladder after use. Recommend tying a small rope around the top step which you can snare with a boat hook. No barnacles at least! Polyethylene - non-toxic. (Polyethylene is typically used for plastic bags, food/drink containers, and medical applications like knee joints.) 500 pound capacity, very good.

I love the ladder! It's easy to use, but so far, everyone says there should be a step or two more to make it easier to get out of the lake on my stationary dock - the water level is about full pool and the top of the dock is about 16" above the water level. The plastic is good quality - there are many kids who have gone up and down and adults weighing 300 pounds without any give in the material. It didn't come with any hardware to install - so after a trip to the hardware store for lag bolts, we were all set. I'm sure black plastic would burn your feet, but it would've matched my color scheme better...maybe an idea for the future?

Absolutely the best solution for an above ground pool! I built a wooden ladder deck and attached it to that. It can easily be lifted out of the pool and stored in the up or lay it down. Very weather resistant.

Very difficult installation. No hardware included to install on my dock. Had to remove deck boards one by one and then drill and install nuts/bolts to each board. Finally I could screw down the deck boards again. Once installed, the ladder is sturdy. When attempting to lift out of water, it becomes very difficult. The ladder has holes and fills with water. So it becomes VERY HEAVY when trying to lift out of water. You’ll need to attach a rope to the bottom rung of the ladder to get the leverage you need to lift the ladder. I do like that the ladder can hinge and lay flat on my dock when not in use. At the end of the day, it does it’s job and will probably last for years. But it’s much more of a hassle than I originally thought.
