Confer Entry System for Above Ground Pools | White Frame with Blue Steps | All Resin Bridge System with Handrails and Gate

My wife has many health conditions that prevented her from climbing the steep ladder for the pool. A deck was too expensive and decided to buy this one. Although some of the reviews are bad, this one is unbiased. Instructions can be better, they go from step 4 to the 12. The door doesn't shut close automatically as it should. Other than that, it was a great investment, sturdy, comfortable to climb by adults. Hand rails look flimsy but they are not. Wide enough for overweight people. Elegant and I bought 4 10 lbs sand bags (2 will do the job) to anchor it. No complaints, the wife now can join us and have a great family time. Will have to disassemble the inside steps for winter. Will keep you updated on how hard or easy it is. Above all, good investment and will enjoy it for years to come.

Got them built in about 2.5 hours. You'll need a pal ideally to help put sand into the pool side steps but I managed it myself using a large funnel! Once you get the gate attached you may need to adjust the hinge side position a wee bit higher to ensure the gate closes properly. Sturdy.

This is a very study and safer alternative to standard ladders. Very good for elders and kids. Assembly was time consuming and I did most myself. It does take 2 people to move. I would definitely buy this again.

The ladder was a challenge to get into the pool. This looked like a solution. My son and I are pretty mechanical skilled, but the assembly was a real challenge. The written instructions were not detailed enough and the online video was poor. I recommend the manufacturer check Ikea instructions to improve theirs. For example the screw lengths were seldom mentioned. It was recommended to used a cordless drill for safety. There were a few assembly errors noticed afterwards. But nothing big. There were 2 left over parts that we guessed were to use to attach to a deck. Afterwards the steps do work well, but being blue, tend to get hot. Pick a different color. Being plastic, it is a bit wobbly when using the railing, but seems to work. Unsure about removing it in the fall. In summary it does the job. I recommend it, but plan on a long cool day and a competent helper to assemble it.

not good quality and a nightmare to put together, way to expensive for what it is

The ladder that came with the pool felt unsafe. Since getting the double-sided stairs I do get in and out of it more often because it is easier. My Choclolate Lab uses it too! I wish it the stairs were a little wider for her sake but she can use it. I added non-slip tape so that she had a little more grip and less slipping. I bought 4 sand bags for pools to weigh it down. That was an absolute must or it floats on the pool side. They are not included but the instructions mention them.

A little flimsy but does its job.

I love these steps. So much better than a ladder and the ease of getting in and out of the pool is fantastic and safer. They fill with sand and do not need any weights to hold them down. They stay seated and do not move around. Definitely recommend them. A little pricey in my opinion but it is what it is.
