We purchased this dock ladder mainly for the fact that I have 3 kids (two ages 3 and one age 9). I was looking for something that was strong yet softer than the aluminum ladders and safe for kids to climb up and down on during a busy outing at the dock. There are no rough edges and the 4 steps are easy enough for kids to climb in and out of the water on. If there was a "slip in footing" the smooth edges of the ladder would, in my opinion, soften the fall. Adults can easily use this ladder as well.
When the steps are dropped into the water the hull of the ladder fills with water thus keeping it anchored for easy footing (no floating).
Raising the ladder out of the water needs a little strength, because it is full of water, but the water does drains out through the drain holes and slides into 2 grooves that keep the ladder standing up out of the water.
Only con... The hardware is not included... BUT there are directions that tell you what you need to buy.
Another fact.... the steps of the ladder can not be removed. So if your a person who wants a ladder to "unhook" and be put up for safe storage.. this is not the ladder for you.

This is a great dock ladder in many ways...easy to install, rugged construction, comfortable on bare feet. The problem is, when done using it, it is very difficult to raise. We have to do this from above the ladder on the dock, and pushing the ladder bottom out to unlock it is almost impossible to do manually...we now use a pole to pry it out. And once the ladder is unlocked and about horizontal, it is so heavy to lift (from being full of water) that we now keep a rope tied to the bottom rung to lift the ladder to the upright position. Poor design.

Q:
we are looking at putting on a pool deck... does the ladder swing when stepping on it to get out of the waterAsked on 5/20/2011 by j from omaha1 answer
A:
I've been using it for my pool for two years. It's great. Have not had any problems with it. It is difficult to raise, but if you sit on the deck and raise it with your leg, the water begins to drain immediately. The ladder is very sturdy and it won't swing far enough to touch the pool in any way.
Every guest I have will ask me where I bought it.Answered on 7/5/2012 by Pool Mom from Joliet. IL

Hi Stephen,
We just installed this on our dock on Nolin Lake! So far so good. We liked it because there are no sharp edges and no splinters. We had two people ask us where we purchased it the first day it was installed. It seems really sturdy. The ladder part fills up with water when it's lowered which adds strength and stability. The water drains out when the ladder is in the upright position. We have teenage boys (football players) and it held up well.

I am looking at buying one of these. Cabelas handles these and I asked them the same question about weight limits. They told me the limit is 400#. Pretty impressive!Answered on 1/6/2012 by reelsnlures from Central Nebraska.
