GOod ladder but has issues,
Date:April 10, 2011
By STef
from LAke Wales,Fl
from LAke Wales,Fl
Pros: GReat for kids,easy to set up,it works well when connected to a deck
Cons: bad instructions, hard to clean behind, will mess up liner without a pad
"Had This ladder for a year now and over time it put a hole in the liner, so I HIGHLY recommend the pad to go under it! That said, its great when screwed to a deck! Especially for little kids! It DOES have to weighted down & we had to go online and look at the picture to see where to put the foot pegs. It will also make indentions in the bottom, so its not good to keep moving around. One other thing, the foot pegs kept coming off, so my husband had to screw them on. Hope this helps! I wish I had someone to help us w/ advice when we got it. But overall, its a good product & works well once u figure out all the bugs."

Frustrating,
Date:July 9, 2010
By Cins
from Orrstown, PA
from Orrstown, PA
Pros: Look nice, but FLOAT bigtime
Cons: Didn't receive correct instructions
"Not sure if i recomment this item yet or not. Assembled the steps, put them in the pool, and they floated like crazy. Followed step D which told you how to purge the air from the steps... we did that but they still floated. Pretty angry by now. Called InTheSwim, rep read me directions she had and they were DIFFERENT than what we had. Turns out you need 60 pounds of sand that OUR instructions didn't mention. Received the "Good" instructions via email... going out to try them now. I think InTheSwim needs to contact BiltMore, the maker of the steps and inform them to insert the correct instructions in the box with the steps. Less frustration for InTheSwim customers then."

"This is a great product for anyone that has physical or handicap problems, going up or down latters or steps. I have no problems now getting in or out of my above ground pool. I feel very secure in the support when I'm using the steps."

OK steps,

By Stache

from UPstate, NY
Pros: Cheap, Good Flow thru
Cons: Weak, Breaks, not easy to clean behind
"First season the grid to hold the rocks broke.
Second season it broke at the bolt holes.
We will see what needs to be welded as this third season progresses.
I did say I would recommend it but I would also recommend a friend check out others too."

Must have ladder,
Date:June 29, 2009
By Babsy
from Philadelphia, PA
from Philadelphia, PA
Pros: Sturdy, Easy to asssemble,
Cons: None that I have found!
"Easy to assemble (with 2 people).
Sturdy.
Makes a good sitting area for little children and older people so they can rest without getting out of the pool.
Don't forget to get a bag or 2 of sand to weight this down in the pool - otherwise it will float up a bit.
One of my best pool purchases!"

Pros: These were very easy to install
Cons: N/A
"I was looking for stairs to enable me to get in the pool as I am unable to use a ladder. These are perfect. They were easy to install and I have no problem using them. I can now swim everyday. And they look great too!"

Very Pleased,
Date:August 24, 2007
By Rockhead
Pros: Can walk right in without any difficulty
Cons: Railings aren't very sturdy
"My sister and mom don't have any upper body strength due to medical reasons. This helped so they could both use the pool this summer without any problems. Before they just had to sit on the sidelines and watch. My sister's children love that she gets in the pool with them. It's been 3 years since her illness and they missed playing with mom in the pool. We are very pleased."

Outstanding Steps,
Date:August 23, 2007
By Shirl
Pros: Perfect for all swimmers, including our dog
Cons: Have no complaints
"We are extremely satisfied with our purchase of the Bilt-Mor steps. Our 2 year old, yellow lab had surgery on both back legs earlier this year and swimming was the perfect therapy. This provides him with easy access both in and out of the pool, along with our family and friends. Easy to install and sturdy."

Wonderful investment for your pool,
Date:August 23, 2007
By Marti
from Gastonia, North Carolina
from Gastonia, North Carolina
Pros: So much easier to get out of the pool and my granddaughter loves them.
"I purchased the Bil-More steps 2 years ago. What a wonderful investment, the best money ever spent. Step by step instructions to properly install the steps. Fast, light and easy. When I closed the pool, I removed the sand bag, the steps were a breeze to take out and store for the winter. In the spring, when opening the pool, again a breeze, installed the steps, placed the sand bag and in you go! Thank you "In The Swim" for selling a wonderful product."

"Our above ground pool has a deck built around it and these steps are fantastic for that! They have made getting into and out of our pool SO much easier and they don't hog all the swim space!
Great product!"

Excellent steps but don't buy matt,
Date:July 3, 2007
By LLLalways
from Atlanta, GA
from Atlanta, GA
Pros: Excellent Steps
Cons: Matt they sell with it is too small
"The steps are great, especially with a deck. They actually attach to the deck instead of the flimsy metal pieces that surround an above-ground pool. HOWEVER, DO NOT PURCHASE THE MATT WITH THE STEPS. It does not fit under the steps, it is too small so it is useless! Also, you will need some type of weight that isn't easy to find so make sure you can weight the steps down before you purchase them."
