Ergonomically designed handrails shift your body's weight forward, making it much easier to enter and exit the pool. Traditional handrails keep you completely vertical, which hinders your climbing ability. These handrails extend up to 36 inches above the deck, providing additional support without the worry of straining your back. The steps are 3 inches deep and non-skid for secure footing. This stainless-steel ladder is designed for pools 48 to 54 inches deep and can support up to 225 pounds. Its unique pivot bottom adapts to sloped pool bottoms. The package includes two aluminum flanges and stainless-steel hardware for secure deck mounting. It comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Please note: this ladder is not suitable for saltwater pools.
