    Magnesium anode to prevent rust ?

    I just replaced my ladder rails and bolts with MG316 versions of the same due to rust buildup that kept occurring at the drill points where the bolts secure the ladder steps.

    Uneven ladder Deck Anchor Repair Options

    One wall bumper of my Interfab ladder isn’t touching sidewall under water. Hoping to find an DIY fix for anchor sleeves in the concrete deck because I think that’s the problem. As far as I know, we don’t have the wedge bolt hardware. I’ve scoured YouTube but can’t find a solution & am getting...

    New ladder Rust

    I had some iron staining in my pool the last few years. We got a new liner this year, so with the fresh water I wanted to get a new ladder in case the iron was coming from the previous ladder rust. I ordered this SR Smith marine grade ladder: https://lesliespool.com/306340.html The new ladder...

    Narrow ladder needed.

    We purchased our home with an in ground pool last fall. There are holes where the ladder is supposed to mount but no ladder was included. I have shopped around online and all ladders are wider than the mounting holes. The holes are 18inches to center, 16 inches center to edge of pool, and 41...

    Paint for Pool Ladder Help

    I have an in ground salt water pool and the paint on my ladder flaked off at the end of 2019 - the section underwater only. I first tried Rustoleum because it matched the hammered metal look so well, but that peeled off by fall 2020. In 2021, I tried a Pettit paint from a marine supply store...

    Hi there! We’re in the planning process for a Doughboy pool getting installed this summer. Planning to have the pool recessed, so about 28 inches will be above ground on one side, and 40 inches on the other side. My pool store doesn’t have a good ladder solution. My city requires that I put...

    How have you child proofed your above ground pool?

    Hi all, we have a 1.5 year old and another baby on the way. This weekend we are putting up our 18' x 48" pool. I see there are some safety ladders like the Roll Guard ladder and others with a gate. I'm curious for those of you who have "child-proofed" your pool what all you have done. Thanks!

    Deep end entry / exit. Please help!

    So I am in the process of having our pool designed and I know the international code reads that 'where water depth in the deep area of a pool exceeds 5 feet, a means of entry and exit shall be provided in the deep area of the pool. My question for you all is: does the 5' measure from the bottom...

    Ladder and depth with new deck.

    We had a deck installed, well replaced. Either way, the installer had a great idea, however the distance from the deck to the first step of ladder is to far. Ideas? Thank you.

    In Wall Ladder Concerns

    We are planning for a new inground vinyl liner SWG pool with automatic cover. My PB suggested an in-wall ladder for deep end so easy to open and close cover. I am concerned about the drilling of holes in my liner when installing the in-wall ladder. Should I be concerned? Those who have in wall...

    Ladder for Sloped Pool Walls

    Hi. New to the forum. I moved into a home with an older amoeba shaped concrete inground saltwater pool. I'm guessing 1950's or 60's. At the end of last season, my pool company told me I'd need a new ladder. They recommended and purchased a Saftron Elite 3-Step (resin). When they came to install...
