Blue Wave Easy Pool Step Above Ground Swimming Pool Step to Deck

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.

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.

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.

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 butam glad I did. Steps look nice with the pool. Very pleased with the purchase & I would definitely recommend & would also buy again if needed.

We installed this last weekend and so far they are very nice steps. Definitely have to have weights on side of ladder or they will float up. Other than that, we really like them. They are sturdy and look great in our pool

I am very disappointed in these.First, you are to put the bottom pieces on with zip ties! Who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea. These are going break down and snap sitting in chlorine. I don't know how safe I feel letting people go in and out with the feet being helped together with zip ties disintegrating all while supposedly holding "up to 350 lbs!"Secondly, I purchased them because they showed the sides open, however, they are not. We already had algae issues when our steps were open, I can't imagine the issues we are going to have now. I also purchased the side weights. I hope they will work with the sides closed. None of the pics for them show them being used with the closed sides.Thirdly-way more flimsy than the confer steps. Wish I would have bought the confer steps but I didn't bc they had changed to closed sides. Which I now have anyway. I feel duped.Wish us luck these last.
