Trouble with ladder

I was hoping someone had a similar issue with ladders for a deck. I have a 54 inch pool but the deck sits 6 inches above the pool. So I need a pool ladder that is 60 inches.

In in the past I have had a confer heavy duty ladder with an extension but it never fit right. This year the ladder was leaking and wouldn’t stay to the bottom, it kept rising.

Does anyone one have a similar deck? If so, can you please let me know what kind of ladder you use.

Here is one -

seems like you could trim the handles or drill a hole in the deck for this one (though it might make that top step pretty long)-

one more - ha funny because I actually have these stairs, but it says up to 60 inch deck. warning use weights and not sand, and keep that water chemistry correct, these are kind of hard to clean out. -

I have the second one from the last reply (Main Access Easy-Incline Above Ground Pool Ladder) and I like it - looks good, easy to handle, and does not take up much pool space. However, in your case the top step may end up a little lower in the pool than wanted. Some in the reviews state it has a tendency to float a little and therefore needs weights inserted into lower steps, but I have not found the need to do that. I did not cut the rails to fit but drilled holes in the deck and also through an additional 2" x 6" x 3' of lumber attached under the deck to provide additional stability to the rails. Also use a clear vinyl bath mat under the steps.
