Description

The Blue Wave Aluminum/Resin In-Pool Ladder is a reliable and durable solution for safe entry and exit from an above ground pool. Designed for pools up to 54 inches deep, this in pool ladder features a strong combination of rust- resistant aluminum handrails and tough, molded resin treads that provide long- term performance in chlorinated water. This heavy duty pool ladder supports up to 225 lbs., making it suitable for most swimmers. The ladder’s step ladder design includes three wide steps for confident footing, while its slim profile and sleek white finish allow it to blend seamlessly into any poolside setup. Ideal for use as an inside pool ladder or ladder in pool, it’s compatible with a variety of pool types and decking styles. A key feature is its pivoting bottom tread, engineered to adjust to the slope of the pool floor. This ensures a snug fit, reduces liner wear, and delivers added stability for uneven pool bottoms—perfect for pools with sloped bases or irregular surfaces. The ladder mounts securely to any pool deck with the included flanges and hardware, making it a great choice for those seeking pool accessories that are easy to integrate into existing setups. Installation is fast and straightforward, requiring only basic tools like a screwdriver, mallet, pliers, and saw. With a deck-mounted frame and strong materials, it functions as a heavy duty step ladder and sturdy pool ladder built to last through seasons of use. Designed for safety, ease of use, and durability, this step ladder for pool includes non-slip resin treads that offer extra grip when wet. Its curved aluminum handrails provide added comfort and support while climbing, making it a practical option for families. The ladder is not compatible with saltwater pools. Dimensions: 18-in W x 20-in D x 72-in H.

  • I really like these steps-made it 6 full seasons
I really like these steps. It helps that I picked them up from Amazon Warehouse for $28 but they work great, seem sturdy enough and look good. You do have to drill 1 1/2" holes for the handle ends to go through but with the flanges they are strong. I did spread out the handles where they go through the deck to make the space a little wider which helps. I also put a 9x36 mat under the bottom to avoid any tearing of the liner although the bottom step is completely smooth. Just didn't want to risk a tear. Update 6/3/2017: On our second season with these steps and they are working great. Update 5/16/2022: They lasted through 6 seasons without a problem. Sadly I broke the nub on one side where the handle attaches to the steps while setting them up this year. Hint-turn off your pump while installing so you're not fighting the water pressure. I got rushed and forgot. I did attempt a repair so we'll see if it holds. I did buy a new set just in case. Still, very durable. They were used heavily and by some pretty stout people. ... show more

  • It works
It’s sturdy, as described it’s just not exactly what I wanted

  • Stay away
I bought this ladder in the off season to get a better price. But it wouldn't matter how much I saved, you get what you pay for. I put the ladder in my pool, the very 1st time I put in the water the bottom step fell off. I weigh 155Lbs I came out of the water and the aluminum pole bent. Please don't buy, not worth $5 i might get 20c for scrap. Stay far away ... show more

  • Not just for swimming pools!
I looked long and hard to find a ladder to put in my gooseneck horse trailer for easy access to the front overhead area. This ladder is perfect! It was easy to assemble and light weight. Sturdy, yet easy to hacksaw 8 inches off the curve at the top for the ladder to set at a comfortable, secure angle. (I also bought rubber end protectors for those.) I am up and down this ladder at every horseshow to get saddle pads, hat boxes, and boots. The convenience makes a world of difference, however, duly note in this application, I only weigh 115# and at the angle it does slightly flex. I am a happy cowgirl! ... show more

  • Decent ladder
Make sure to trim the handle length where it goes into the pool deck if needed. Puts pressure on the plastic deck sleeves if it isn't nice and level.

  • Good not great
The ladder was easy to assemble and attach to my deck, however we did have to turn the poles around and drill new holes in them. It would not touch the bottom of the pool unless we did that. I does seem to scoot on the bottom when getting in and out of the pool. I ordered this ladder because it was inexpensive and I got what I paid for. Im hoping to afford a more sturdy ladder when this one wears out. ... show more

  • To the seller, please speak to quality control or the manufacturer.
I don't often do a review of a product but I don't know of any other way to get a message to the seller about their product. I would give it 1 star, but I have an issue saying that I hated it. I didn't hate it, I'm sure it would have been fine, but when I opened this product it was completely unusable. The poles that go at the top were two completely different lengths (by several inches), the holes wheren't drilled in the correct places so they didn't line up as I was trying to assemble it. In order to use it I would have had to drill new holes myself. I could have done this, but at that point i was concerned about the integrity because the ladder is small. Since this is something my daughter would be using I just didn't feel comfortable doing that. You may want to check with your quality control or whoever your manufacturer is. I did not have very high expectations because I knew I was buying a ladder at a discount. I ended up having to return it. I'm sure my experience isn't representative of the product in general given other reviews. My only reason for doing this review is that if I was a business owner I would want to know. ... show more

  • Good deal.
I was skeptical because of the cheap price, but the package arrived a day early and had everything in it as described! It's sturdy for the kids and adults.
