Poolaroo Notes

Our own notes about this product — insights from us and our customers.

The pool ladder side requires weight to keep the steps from floating. Vinyl Works recommends using "pea gravel", a smaller, clean gravel size that is placed through the tops of the stringers, the side braces of the pool-side ladder. Pea gravel is recommended, as the fill holes are smaller, will make it easier to fill. *Gravel is not included with ladder. See Page 3, Step 4 of the Installation Guide below.

The model AF is a double step entry system for easy climbing in and out of your pool. It has a self-closing, self-latching & lockable gate for both safety & to meet code requirements. It is adjustable from 48″ to 56″ with a 12″ top rail clearance. With only a 22” foot print, this ladder allows for maximum use of your pool. This comes in the Taupe (light grey color), AF-T.
