Vinyl Works Model DL Deluxe In-Pool Deck Ladder – Support & Installation
The Model DL is a premium in-pool ladder designed for secure attachment to pool decks. Manufactured with maintenance-free resins and stainless steel hardware, it offers a space-saving design that occupies only 10.5 inches of swimming space, making it ideal for smaller above-ground pools.
Technical Specifications
- Weight Capacity: Load bearing weight of 300 lbs (one person).
- Deck Compatibility: Adjustable for deck heights ranging from 48" to 60" (measured from deck surface to pool floor).
- Step Design: Features 5 large anti-skid treads measuring 18" wide x 4.5" deep.
- Hardware: Includes dual mounting flanges (front and rear) to eliminate ladder movement and ensure a secure deck connection.
Installation & Safety Highlights
- Safety Standards: Meets or exceeds APSP/ANSI requirements for above-ground pool entry systems.
- Ballast Requirement: The ladder is hollow and can be filled with coarse sand or gravel for additional ballast and stability within the pool.
- Liner Protection: Features a smoothly rounded base to prevent liner damage. Use of a ladder pad is recommended for extra protection (sold separately).
- Stability: Designed to fit close to the pool wall to prevent entrapment while allowing for maximum water circulation behind the treads.
- Optional Lighting: Features a pre-molded bracket compatible with the Model OPT12V 12-volt in-pool light (sold separately).
