Where to buy a pool ladder?

[keithpgdrb]

Hey gang. Moved into a house with a pool years ago. In ground pool has no ladders, but does have the holes to instal them. Where should I get a ladder? I would like the ability to fold it up so I can close the automatic cover.

Should be pretty standard, similar to this. Quality depends upon your taste. I believe SR Smith is a recognized industry leader. As far as folding? How are your MacGyver skills? Cut the rail somewhere on the deck side and add some sort of "hinge"? (Just throwing an idea out there, I'm not endorsing or engineering anything!)

You will have to measure the distance between the sockets and the distance from them to the pool edge. Not all ladders are the same. You are missing the wedge bolts for those anchors.
Remember that the portion in the pool will be against the vinyl. You may not want something that can move as much as a hinge will allow. Loosening the wedge bolts allows the rail to be removed.
