Blue Wave Easy Pool Steps – Above Ground Pool Ladder Anti-Slip Wide Stairs for Above Ground Pools with Handles – Fits 48- 54 Inch Pools, 350-lb Limit, Includes Deck Mounting Brackets – White Vinyl

The stairs came on time and perfectly described! There were a couple items in the box that I thought I forgot to put on, but this particular one comes with parts for a couple different applications, so don't panic if you have left over parts, too, lol! Directions were easy to follow and once I got it together I just placed it in the pool so it could fill with water. (I didn't use sand). For us, a 4X4 (I think 24" long) piece of wood was perfect to put under the support arms (that face away from the pool at the bottom of the ladder hand-rails when you are entering the pool, the support arms that you secure to the deck of your pool) because we have weird rails on our above ground pool, so we could only lower them so far. The 4X4 fit perfectly. I secured the wood to the deck, and secured the support arms to the 4X4. Works perfectly for a family of four and has stayed in place and doesn't wobble. Highly recommend.

Nice pool steps. Easy to assemble & attach to wood deck. Used a sand bag on each side to hold it down & it stayed in place perfectly, not a speck of sand leaked out. Wide steps & incline made getting in & out much much easier than a regular pool ladder. Easy enough to remove at the end of season. I was hesitant about purchasing online but am glad I did. Steps look nice with the pool. Very pleased with the purchase & I would definitely recommend & would also buy again if needed.

I like these steps very much. They are extremely easy to put together. The hand rails are sturdy, contrary to what I've read about other types of pool steps. I can't say enough about the design of these steps. That being said, I did do some tweaking of my own. 1. First off there aren't enough holes in these steps for the water to get in. The weight of the water is suppose to keep the steps on the bottom of the pool. That didn't happen, they tended to float around the pool. Granted you're suppose to add sand into the frame, but according to the directions the pool would sit on the bottom with the water weight. I drilled a lot more holes all throughout the steps. 2. Second I didn't like the idea of the sand. Because I live alone, I need to get the steps in and out of the pool by myself to winterize the pool. So I figured the steps would be too heavy with 40 pounds of sand and the water to get them out of the pool. What I did was create a "shelf" underneath the steps. I bought 10' X 1 inch PVC and cut it into three pieces the width of the steps. I then drilled holes in each piece and zip-tied them in between the rails of the steps. I then was able to use three stone pavers, or any other type of weight, to sit on the "shelf" and hold the steps down. 3. Third, the steps, as a whole, are very heavy with the water in them. I discovered its easier to take the steps apart in the pool and take the pieces out one by one instead of trying to pull the steps out as a whole piece. All in all, I love these steps. They are so much safer than the old fashioned ladder I use to have. Anyone or anything (animals) would be able to get out of the pool should they accidentally fall in. I hope my input helps anyone who purchase these. I say experiment with the steps before you permanently attach them and see what works best for you.

We anticipated these steps would be far too tall for our small pool but we ordered them to make sure the dogs could get out. They turned out perfectly. We thought we’d have to build the deck up a bit but we just didn’t add the two top steps and attached the dog ramp we got last year that they refused to use. We just step over the side as it’s only a 30 inch high pool. The steps don’t float around since they aren’t fully submerged and the dogs get in and out freely. We didn’t even have to add sand. We’ll probably buy a full sized pool in the future and these steps will work great. It took maybe a half an hour to put them together, probably cold have done it faster if we would have read the instructions. Very easy, good buy. Very pleased.

Simply put, these work perfect. I was worried about the reviews saying the handrails are weak. I think they are fine. But with that said, I filled my handrail post with concrete. That stiffened them up and weighted the steps.

The steps are nice but the handrails bend like a noodle. My daughter actually fell onto the deck when the handle bent outward and she lost her balance, she is handicapped and the reason for the purchase. It looks like you may be able to buy reinforcements because there are slots for something under the rails, but I am unable to find any information about them. You also need to purchase sand bags, they leak the sand inside and they float without it.

Easy to install and all parts were delivered. The stairs are really nice and make entering/ exiting the pool very easy. Make sure to purchase the weight bags. You need at least 20lbs to hold the stairs down. I used pebbles instead of sand.

Worse steps we have ever had! We bought them because they had great reviews, but you can't always trust reviews. Yes they were easy to assemble. Yes they were sturdy, for about 15 minutes! These steps have no real mechanical way of holding them together. Molded pegs on the steps slide into the holes in the sidewalls and then you drive these caps over the ends of the pegs to "secure" them. Looks good, sounds good, however it doesn't hold them together good once the steps are in the water. A few times in and out, up and down, and the caps pop off and the steps start to separate from the sidewalls. We tried driving them on and pressing them in with a cabinet clamp. Useless! I would not recommend these. Now im stuck with them.

Works really well and sturdy. Our pool hieght is 52” and works good.

Sturdy step. I did not assemble it so I cannot comment on that. But it looks great. Took a few weeks for it to settle flat even with the sand inside. Suggest purchasing side weights.

Thanks so much! We assembled the step and it looks great! We can't try it out as the water in our pool seems to think it needs to freeze here in the middle of the winter. I hope it can stand up to our climbing in and out of the pool in June. Love it!

We were looking for a set of steps into our inground pool that were wide and sturdy. We are so happy with this purchase.

Did everything the manufacturer suggested including adding sand to the rails for weight, sand seeps out makes a mess in the pool, will have to replace this year. Junky plastic!
