Hello! We inherited a very old (35+ years) Vinyl inground pool when we bought our house 5 years ago. Many issues and I fear it will need a total re-do in the next couple years.
On to the current issue-two of the four bolts that hold the ladder in place by the deep end are completely stripped so we cannot use the ladder. I am attaching a picture because everything I google has a different attachment. My husband decided he was going to just twist the bolts out of the concrete ? and one snapped. Any way to fix this to hold for a year or two without cutting up the concrete? He wants to cut them all down and install some heavy concrete anchors a bit offset from the current bolts to attach it in the same spot. The only thing I could find searching the forum for that was regarding a diving board and that’s a no but obviously that is a whole different weight/usage.
Any ideas? Do you think his plan will work?
