Pool ladder and pool steps

Do you want to use fiberglass stairs or a stainless steel pool ladder for your pool? We have both options and extensive experience in advising on the subject. If you choose an external staircase, it affects the choice of cover; the same applies to the placement of the pool ladder and how you choose to have the pool roof.

A pool ladder is an important accessory for all pools, both above ground and in-ground. It makes it easy to get in and out of the pool safely and comfortably.

Types of Pool Ladders

There are two main types of pool ladders:

  • Deck Ladder is the most common type of pool ladder. It is easy to install and remove, and is perfect for pools with shallow depth.
  • Staircase is a more advanced option than a deck ladder. It provides a safer and more comfortable way to get in and out of the pool, and is ideal for pools deeper than 1.2 meters.

Material

Pool ladders are made from various materials, including:

  • Plastic is the most affordable option. Plastic ladders are lightweight and easy to maintain, but they may be less durable than ladders made from other materials.
  • Metal is a more durable option than plastic. Metal ladders are also more resistant to rust and corrosion.
  • Wood is a beautiful and natural material. However, wooden ladders require more maintenance than ladders made from other materials.

Safety

When choosing a pool ladder, it is important to consider safety. Make sure the ladder has a wide base to provide stable support. The ladder should also have non-slip steps to reduce the risk of slipping.

Maintenance

Regardless of the material your pool ladder is made from, it is important to clean it regularly. This helps remove dirt and algae that can accumulate on the ladder. Use mild soap and water to clean the ladder.

Storage

If you have a deck ladder that you do not use during the winter, it is a good idea to store it in a dry place. This helps prevent rust or damage.

Tips for Choosing the Right Pool Ladder

  • Decide which type of pool ladder you want. Deck ladder or staircase?
  • Consider the pool's depth. If the pool is deeper than 1.2 meters, you need a staircase.
  • Decide which material you want. Plastic, metal, or wood?
  • Think about safety. Make sure the ladder has a wide base and non-slip steps.

By following these tips, you can choose the right pool ladder for your pool and your needs.
