Above Ground Pool Stairs Weights
You might need to use a few of these to provide the weight needed to keep the steps from floating.
Above ground pool stairs weights. Set of 2 weights attach to both sides of easy step units with simple bracket clips Fill weights with sand not included instead of step for easier installation and removal Approx. You also can use exercise weights that strap around your arm and legs the type used to add weight to your workout. Close the holes with the caps that should be provided with your stairs.
I measured the shelf can cut some PVC pipe to 1 shorter then this measurement. I then placed the steps in the pool and then attached the weights under the steps using cable tie wraps. They can be secured around the poles of the steps just as they would be on your arms and legs.
Pool steps are easy to assemble and come in a large variety sure to fit your pool and personal style. In order to prevent pool steps from floating you will need to use 70lbs of sand during the assembly process that will weigh down the steps allowing them to sink to the bottom of the pool and stay there. I weighed roughly 330lbs when I did it.
Make sure they are waterproof. My pool steps come with two containers that mount onto a cross brace on the underside as you can see in the picture. Adding steps to your pool is an easy and affordable way to prevent injuries as you are getting in and out of your pool.
They are so well balanced I once walked to the top of them and stood there with the whole system entirely out of the pool. Use 2 for 26in. Glued PVC caps to one end of each pipe.
Once you are certain that the holes are closed and watertight place the stairs in the pool. Filled them all up with sand then carefully went back and added a second cap to each. Then use the handle to lift it into the water and submerge in the back of your pool steps.
