Simple Step Resin 30-Inch Above Ground Pool Step - Durable Non-Slip Swimming Pool Ladder for Easy Entry & Exit | Perfect for Backyard, Inground, and Oval Pools

We did a lot of research before settling on these steps for the pool. They are a nice width - almost 30 inches, and depth. Heads up - predrill the holes, and pay attention that all 4 poles have the half/slot facing the same direction, as in all of mine are facing left. If you make them mirror it does not work with the hand rail. This means the set on the left - slot faces the left, the set on the right, slot faces the left. Had I actually read the directions the first time, would have had it completed in 60minutes or less from unboxing to in the pool. We opted to use weights (pea gravel in jugs) rather than fill with sand. We left the holes open and let it fill with water then attached the weights underneath. This was our preference as it makes the ladder easier to put in, reposition if needed and pull out at the end of the season. But the company recommends filling with sand (which causes it to weigh around 100 pounds) before putting into the pool. Great purchase, hoping it lasts for years. Arrived on time and in good condition, despite the torn box.
