Best Purchase I Ever Made,
Date:May 11, 2013
By WaterLover59
from Reading PA
from Reading PA
Pros: Easy to assemble great design very nice step width that are slip resistant, they look beautiful in or out of my pool
Cons: just had to make sure the seams were all smooth, which made it easier to put them together
"I/we Purchased these stairs last year, they were easy to put together, after making sure that are seams were completely smooth especially on the hand rails, after filling up up with the sand, and installed the rails they did seem loose, so what I did was instead of using just the two screws I used (one on each side) I used two and spaced them apart, worked out great also to make it easier to remove the stair at the end of the season, I had tied Marine rope to the back side of the stairs through the set of vents so that it makes one large loop, all's we had to do was bring the rope up and pull them up some to let some of the water drain and pull them the rest of the way out. I leave them on my deck and cover them for the winter.
These Stairs are beautiful. I am not afraid of falling at all, and I am handicapped.
I like the fact that they have a wider base bottom, however I still use a 24 x 36" mat under the stairs to make sure my liner is protected.
If you purchase these stairs you Won't Be Sorry You Bought Them! Thank You Confer!!!"

Pros: Perfect for the money, fast shipping, easy in and out
Cons: items can get caught behind it (to be expected) and lining the stair on the mat took a bit of effort
"When we bought our pool I knew we woud want stairs, but spending another $500.00 wasn't in the budget. So we waited a few weeks. 5 grandkids under 2, pregnant moms and we aren't getting any younger. I looked everywhere to see what there was, that we could afford. THIS WAS THE WINNER! and we absoutley made a great investment. Getting in and out of the pool is easy, Handing small kids up to waiting arms is easy and a safe landing for the little ones learning to swim. Besides getting the pool this is the next best invsestment. If you are looking for great service this is the site. They are friendly on the phone with answers to your questions.and the item was delivered with days. PERFECT. Go ahead DO IT, you will be so happy you did."

Love These Steps,

By Vixtr

Pros: These stairs make getting in and out of the pool much easier
Cons: The railings are a little flimsy and figuring out how to weigh them down so you can pull them back out was challenging
"Over all these stairs are a marked improvement over a ladder. As I've read in other reviews the railings or handles are a little flimsy, but you really don't need to pull hard on them if you are able to walk up and down stairs normally. The manufacturer states to put 40 lbs. of sand in the stairs before putting them in your pool. My husband and I did not do this because we knew we would never be able to get them back out again on our own. Instead we let them fill with water as we put them in the water, then I got 40 lbs. of plastic coated weights and tied them to the sides of the stairs with marine rope. Worked great all summer! We just now untied the weights and pulled the stairs out to close the pool for the season. Very easy! Thanks for a great product!"

Pros: Makes getting into and out of the pool very easy for all ages
Cons: Plastic bases will not stay attached and are difficult to replace
"These stairs are great , make getting in and out of the pool much easier than climbing straight up & down the type of ladder that comes with pools. I would have given them 5 stars , however the plastic base at the very bottom that the stairs rest on are only zip-tied on and they break constantly. It is difficult to either haul the stairs out of the pool (they are filled with sand) or dive under water to try and replace."

Pros: Easy to assemble
Cons: Some dirt gathers underneath
"These steps are great ! I had polio as a baby, and was starting to have trouble using the upright ladders to exit the pool ! These steps were so easy to put together...not that heavy to put into the pool...didn't take very much sand to weigh them down...so easy to just walk right in or out of the pool. A real must have for anyone with leg problems. Some dirt does gather under them..but a quick shot of pressure with the garden hose, and it all flows out to be easily vacuumed up! Thanks for a great product !"

Great for Autistic Daughter!,

Pros: STEPS not Ladder.
"We bought our current pool last year and it only had a standard ladder. Our autistic daughter, who normally is a fish during the summer, refused to climb the ladder and if we lifted her into the pool, she became hysterical. This year we found the staircase system and she LOVES it."

Pros: easy to get in and out of pool, easy to put together, just an overall great product
Cons: hand rails could be a little more substantial
"This stair system is really a great product. From being on my feet all day for my job, they are shot. The regular exit stairs to our pool were so narrow that it was all I could do to get out of the pool. So for the last year I didn't get in. I love my pool. So looked in your catalog,because we ordered quite a few things from In the Swim. There they were and what a blessing. Now if you could do something about the weather."

Pros: easy as walking up and down stairs
Cons: needs 2 people to take them out to winterize
"We bought these stairs because I was diagnosed with MS and had stability problems. I had fallen off the other ladders many times. These steps made it easy for me to enjoy the pool as much as my husband does. Thank you for helping this MS patient to enjoy the summer outdoor life again. You really should tell the National MS Organization about these stairs. Water therapy is very good for MS patients and these steps make it easier for them."

Our best pool investment!,

Pros: Super stable, easy entry/exit for grandparents and little kids.
Cons: Heavy to remove for winterization.
"Our old ladder steps were falling apart last year so we needed a new set. With grandparents watching our young son a few days a week, we thought these stairs would make getting in and out of the pool much easier. These pool steps were not a disappointment! Grandmas can now get in and out without a problem, and our son can sit safely on the steps and play.
They require some time to assemble and fill with sand. They also require some extra help to get in and out of the pool. Otherwise, they are a great addition to an above gound pool"

"We purchaced this product for cost as well as looks and durability to ease entering and exiting the pool for elderly friends and relatives. The ladder assembled very easy and attaching it to the deck was a snap. Now my elderly friends and relatives are able to enjoy my pool with the ease of walking up and down regular stairs! This was a great buy!"

As good having an inground pool!,

Pros: Dog and Kids can just walk into and out of pool!
"I love these stairs. They were really easy to put together. They stay in place well. They look great! Easy to see at night. The reason we purchased these stairs is so my puppy could walk into and out of the pool without assistance, they work great for this. He swims up to the top stair then climbs out on his own. My deck goes up to my pool edge. With the stairs in place it makes the pool look like an inground pool. We secured the stairs to the deck for safety. I wouldnt have an above ground pool without them."

Pros: Easy to put together & safe and easy to use.
"These stairs are everything we hoped they would be & more. They are easy to put together except for putting the sand in which was time-consuming but one expects the sand issue with nearly any stairs. They are safe to use and attached to the deck very easily. We did buy the mat to go under them and that was easy to install also. We are glad we decided on this particular set of stairs."
