Vinyl WorksSLA A-Frame 48 to 56 Inch Adjustable Above Ground Swimming Pool Ladder Entry System with Slide Lock Barrier and Handrails, White

This was a little difficult to put together but it is good quality and very sturdy

It's a decent ladder it's been great for us.

The item was delivered. At that point 5 stars. I opened the box to check the contents and first thing I notice there are absolutely no instructions. I hate to think the manufacturer wants their customer base to guess at how to put together an item that has those same customers relying on the safety and reliability of said item. Just dropped to 4 stars. Would have been 3 stars, but I'm pretty good at figuring out how some things go together and work. Then I see a part is broken off and laying in the box (too bad the instructions couldn't have laid there with the broken part. It was a part that made it possible to lock the sliding ladder up to prevent unsupervised children or unwanted gusts from accessing the pool. Fortunately that part could be put on the inside of the pool and the other locking mechanism (on the outside of the pool) was still intact. Still holding at 4 stars, just barely. Then almost immediately I learned there are NO (Zilch) packets or bags of hardware necessary to correctly and safely put the ladder together. Even though I'm good at figuring things out the fact there is no hardware drops this item to 2 stars. I know I could have run to the local hardware store and purchased the various items (only guessing at what items are required) but after spending more than $220 for a complete ladder, I refuse to be the patsy. I'm not all that interested in the instructions (which would be nice) I am EXTREMELY interested in the hardware required to build and utilize the ladder safely and properly. The broken part; could have been the ex-baggage beaters making the delivery. Instructions: possibly available online. I'm very disappointed in this purchase.UPDATE. Was immediately contacted by the seller who made every effort to rectify the issue of missing components. The ladder is a really good ladder. Yes, somewhat difficult to put together, with or without instructions. (was able to download from website) Took about 2 hours overall. It is a very stable ladder, and heavy enough to not float off in the pool. Will have to secure it to the pool though, but mostly because of the way people pull back on the rails when climbing up. Not an issue since every ladder we've had over the last 10 years has had to be secured. I did use nylon lock nuts on the assembly so there will be no issue with the nuts coming loose.

Dangerous product. Flimsy handrails and steps are slippery when wet. I slipped getting out of the pool and injured my foot.I requested to return for a refund and have not heard back from the seller. I do not recommend purchasing this item.

The ladder is good, but we've been vacuuming up plastic slivers ever since we put the ladder in the pool.

Arrive quickly. Haven't used yet , looks heavy duty.

This is a nice ladder. I was a bit concerned about this being all plastic at first. I was not sure that it would be very sturdy at all until the last piece bolted in. From there, it was quite sturdy but until that last sliding ladder piece went in, I was a bit worried. I like that this ladder has the ability to slide the steps up to keep the neighbors out while we aren’t home. The only thing that I wish could be improved would be that some clarification in the instructions be made about the screws and which holes be left open. It’s a little confusing and caused me to have to remove some and redo the issue. Took me an extra 15 minutes to figure out why I’d run out of screws and then had to reassemble it correctly. It’s great now. And it’s held up well to a ton of kids and my wife getting in and out of our little pool.Would definitely recommend this to anyone in need of a ladder that holds more than a 50 lb kid. The wide step is plenty big enough to sit on and each step is sturdy and stable.

We were very disappointed in this ladder. My husband and I are in our 70's and fairly healthy. I was looking for a sturdier ladder than what came with our 18 ft round pool. This ladder looked like it might fit the bill. NOT! We're pretty good at figuring things out and putting stuff together. It took us 3 hrs to put this ladder together. Everything was included in the box, nothing was missing. The directions were a little difficult to figure out. It seemed wobbly throughout most of the assembly. Putting the final ladder section in helped somewhat, but not enough for me. Also, as others have reported, the sliding step was a little difficult to put in and it suddenly went slamming down and cut my husband's finger! This could be very dangerous for anyone unaware. The ladder also couldn't be set for our 48 inch side wall. It is too high for us. The handles at the top of the pool are flimsy, too. The directions suggest anchoring theladder to the pool, but to us that will only weaken the top rail of the pool. I'm going to try and sell it, as it will be too expensive to ship back. Very unhappy with it.
