Hi all, we're setting up our first pool. It's an Intex 18' x 52" Ultra XTR. The attached picture is the ladder that came with it. Doesn't the two feet on the inside of the pool damage the liner? Is there anything to use to protect the liner from damage? Or will it just be fine as it is? Doesn't look very safe from damage to me.

I have never had an issue with the ladder damaging the liner. Those liners are pretty tough, They do make ladder pads like this one if you wanted to add one,
As long as noone is swinging/hanging off the ladder and/or tipping it (ladder feet pushing/cutting into liner), it will be fine
I've never heard of them puncturing or wearing the liner, but some people put exercise mats under the feet.
I was contemplating cutting up a noodle and slipping them over the feet inside the pool.
That will likely float, as well as porbably making the ladder unstable/unsafe.

I have two kids and and this is how they spend some of the time in the pool.As long as noone is swinging/hanging off the ladder and/or tipping it (ladder feet pushing/cutting into liner), it will be fine
Ladder is fine right on the liner. But it isn’t the easiest thing for non-kids to use. Most of us end up buying steps instead!
