Above Ground Step Help

[aknoerr42]

Hi all,
We’re going to be purchasing our first pool shortly. We’re going with a semi-inground built into our deck. We're slightly budget-restricted, but pretty handy.... Is there any way we could build a concrete step form into our pool frame, and cover it with a custom liner?

I don't love any of the above ground step options, but a step built into our pool wall is out of our budget.

Open to ideas, thanks!
Alex

Welcome to TFP.

@jimmythegreek may have ideas how to build the step.

What pool frame are you using?

We're currently looking at a 24' Melenia from The Pool Factory. I saw an article where someone built them for an in-ground; I'm confident we could build the steps to our liking, but I'm not sure about a liner to fit.

I dont deal with AG pools but it is possible to buy liner track and form stairs then add the stair bead. Not the easiest thing to do for a novice, but do-able. The hard part is making a liner measurement and getting it set right. Your first step would be to find out if it's possible to have a liner custom made amd what type of attachment this pool kit uses. AG pools have over the cap top liners and can have track liners, all depends

Have you looked at the Whispering Wind from Royal Swimming Pools .com? It has a kit with in wall steps. The 24 round with steps is around $5000. Not sure of your budget so don't know if this would work for you.
