Review: Great set of pool stairs and hack to weigh front down - We got these steps last year to replace a vertical ladder that broke. I get painful foot cramps that many times brought on by the pressure the rungs of a traditional ladder on the soles of my feet. These steps solved that problem so i would recommend them for anyone who has similar foot or other issues like back problems using a deck ladder. Before i put the stairs in for a second year i wanted to fix the issue some other customers reported where do to buoyancy the front part of the stairs tend to lift up a couple of inches. I the solution that i used was inexpensive, unobtrusive, easy to install and has solved the problem. I used a precut two foot 4inch in diameter PVC pipe, two end caps, 36 inch zip ties and bag of cement. I used pvc glue to affix one end cap and filled cement and glued other end cap and let it set over night. Then turn over the stairs over so the bottom step was faceup on the deck. Drill 4 holes into the riser of the bottom stairs as shown. Measure or simply use the PVC pipe as a guide drill 4 companion holes above the pipe insert the tails of the zip on the bottom hole and back up and out throught the top hole so you can get better leverage to pull the zip tie tight towards you. The 4 zips seem to have done their job and hold the weight securely in place. The zips being on the front bottom riser rather than the blue stair are barely noticeable and the weight is doing its job as the stairs now rest flatly on the pool liner. Otherwise these the family love the stairs, they are sturdy enough to sit on and makes getting in and out of the pool a breeze.
Review: Excellent product - Just assembled and set up,pretty easy.The stairs seem more solid than any I've ever had. Money well spent, really like them and I'm not really a small guy. Rails are a little wobbly but can be supported easily I'm sure, not even enough that I'm worried about. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting safer stairs into the pool

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with these stairs!
*by P***N on August 1, 2024*

My whole extended family loves our pool and some of us are getting a little bit older so we’ve been thinking of adding stairs for a long time. This year one of my sisters had shoulder surgery and literally could no longer use the ladder. So it was time to finally get the stairs. I read loads of reviews and decided on these. Although I have to say I was expecting them to be flimsy because of the super affordable price. I was pleasantly surprised by their sturdiness. First let me say that the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is about the issue of weighing them down. To be honest we didn’t even try to fill them with sand because of other reviews that were unhappy with sand sifting into the pool. We opted for weighted bags ( purchased on Amazon very economically) filled with sand. We first put trash bags into the pool bags then filled those with sand and tied them off to keep the sand from sifting out. We used zip ties to secure the bags to the stairs. It took 4 bags with a total of approximately 100 lb. of sand to securely hold them down. We put a pool mat ( also purchased on Amazon) under the stairs to protect the liner. Now having said all this, I feel like these stairs are an amazing value. They are very easy to assemble and are super sturdy. I would advise having a partner to help with assembly to hold and support, and to place the completed stairs into the pool. The handrails aren’t meant to be pulled on but rather just to steady you as you walk up & down. Also we added screws where the two parts of the handrails come together and that helped make them feel much more secure. This wasn’t part of the assembly instructions but it made sense to us. Another concern I had was that they would take up a lot of space in the pool. They really don’t. They have a narrow profile form the wall but at the same time offer generous stair treads that are very comfortable to walk up & down. Probably most decks are wood or composite. Our is steel (a Kayak) so we did have to buy a titanium drill bit. We used 2 screws on each brace and they are very secure. So far they’ve only been in the pool for a few weeks so I can’t comment on long term durability but so far we couldn’t be happier with them. I would have expected them to cost much more than they do. I wish I’d found them years ago. We feel like adding the stairs has made the pool more accessible and much more enjoyable for everyone. If you’ve been considering adding stairs to your pool I would recommend these without hesitation.
