Needed to replace above ground pool ladder & was looking for one that would be extremely sturdy that would withstand 3 young grandchildren's usage. After much research I chose this ladder the "Rollquard" A-Frame Ladder/Model #7200. I couldn't be more pleased with my selection of this ladder. Not only did my purchase arrive earlier than stated delivery date but the ladder itself is top-notch.The material that the ladder is constructed from is extremely sturdy (not flimsy plastic that bends under weight). The assembly instructions are easy to follow & understand. The assembly of the ladder doesn't require a workshop of tools. The only tools needed: Rubber Mallet, cordless drill w/ Phillips driver, 5/16" drill bit, Phillips screwdriver, Pliers & a garden hose. A second set of hands is also helpful! I found that by putting all the ladder parts (including the necessary hardware) together in the step by step assembly instructions was helpful.Total Ladder assembly time: approximately-1 1/2 hrs.Once this ladder is assembled it's extremely sturdy. After the ladder is put in & over the pool wall it has stabilizer rails that you anchor/attach to the upper pool railing that will prevent the ladder from rocking side to side or tipping over. It also increases the sturdiness & safety of the ladder. Another safety feature of the ladder is the rollquard that when closed covers the ladder steps on the outside of the pool, preventing access to climb ladder steps. Includes a padlock w/keys to use for extra safety.The only problem I encountered when putting the ladder into the pool: my inner pool floor is dug out & extends to 5 1/2' in the center. So my inside pool floor was deeper than the outside which caused the ladder to lean forward in the pool. I corrected this by digging out the needed depth on the outside of the pool wall to match the inside pool depth.Once the ladder was installed & the stabilizer bars anchored to the upper pool railing there is no movement, rocking or tipping of the ladder. The ladder steps & deck are rated to withhold up 300#. Upon testing the ladder steps & deck with an adult close to the 300# weight, I didn't notice any bending or giving of the steps/deck or movement of the ladder.As a pool owner for over 40 years this is the best above ground pool ladder I have ever seen. Also as a grandparent of 3 young grandchildren, the sturdiness of the ladder & the safety feature of the locking rollquard to prevent access to the ladder steps helps ensure the safety/well-being of my "Grand-littles"! I'm looking forward to a fun & safe swimming summer with them. I highly recommend this pool ladder for its sturdy quality materials, easy assembly/installation and safety measures.

Intex 16' x 48" Ultra Frame .. This is a great ladder it's real beefy. Took about About 2 hrs to assemble.Couldn't find my rubber mallet bought new one for $10 ... also picked up two 41" black rubber bungee cords from Lowes for $6Instructions were very clear, 4 steps to full assembly ..Step 5 is placing & securing ladder in pool.Only 2 issues 4 me ..First.. During assembly on the top of the Outside Right Rail (OR).. The pre-punched hole for the screw that locks the ladder bridge into place was not centered and would not allow the screw to line up with nut & catch threads. I used a small rat tail file to wallow out hole in the 10-11 o'clock position so bolt threads would catch and secure... left side was spot on.Second After placing the ladder into pool & filling with water ..Instructions call for mounting small plastic stabilizer rails on both sides of ladder. These stabilizer rails are secured by drilling a hole on each side of the ladder into the top rail of my pool & screwing them down. I did not see the need or benefit of drilling holes into my pool top rail and at the same time putting 2 holes in my liner that covers the top rail. The instructions state 'Be careful not to damage the pool wall or liner.' There's no way to mount the stabilizer rails without putting holes in the liner as well as the the top rail. ..I also might want to move the ladder..The stabilizer rails in my opinion are to secure the ladder to the pool & keep it from tipping over from wild human use, you can tip the ladder without a stabilizer on it but your gonna have to really rock it a bit (The filling with water adds stability & really makes it heavy to move around) . The stabilizer rails also keep it close to the inside wall of the pool & keep little ones from trying to swim behind the ladder.What shall we do..what shall we do.. I don't want holes in my top rail or my liner & I might want to move my ladder.Introducing ...Bungee Cord Stabilizers ...Stronger, Easier and Faster to install (No Drilling holes in top rail) Or (drilling holes through liner.)B4 purchase. I read a review of same problem & realized this prob might come up with the Intex 48" Ultra Frame & it did. That's why I picked up the Bungee Cords the other review stated this was a good fix and better than the plastic stabilizers. I have to agree.!Bungee Cords make the ladder movable if should want to move it and you don't have to drill holes in the top rail & liner which just doesn't make sense to me. (4 my pool anyway)The thick black rubber bungee cords allow for wrapping with tension & pull the ladder to the side of the pool super tight against the top rail. Securing 1 side at a time & using only 1 of the S hooks on each the bungees. I thread the hook-less end of each bungee through the nice perfect holes located on each side of the ladder (pool side) just above the top step. Stretching each Bungee on each side going over the pool top rail and securing each one to the pool frame support pole that is located on each side of the ladder wrapping once around the pole for tension and securing the hook-less end of Bungee to the S hook on the opposite end. Using only 1 S hook makes a nice clean connect just under the (T) of top rail on the outside of the support pole. Perfect..! The bungees on each side pull against each other while pulling it super tight against the top rail. I have absolutely no wobble even when standing on top deck and howling at the moon.The ladder is much wider than the stock Intex ..which is not usable & dangerous Steps feel good & wide 18'' vs 13''I'm still trying to fig who might get through the 13'' hand rails on the stock intex.. "It was like.. This is not going to happen, someone might die doing this. We all just sat around the table and looked at the stock intex .. U got 2 B kidding.. It was that bad. We could not use our pool until this ladder arrived...So I ordered the ladder..Super fast free shipping, I ordered on night of May 24 arrived that Fri the 27 at noon across the country and at my door in 2 days free.! Amazon showed it taking a week.. but No it was moving and moving fast.! Big Box was in perfect condition ..well packed.. all parts are in sealed plastic bag and includes a key lock to lock the roll-guard, which is Just awesome..! roll-guard works like a charm..! Nice touch..! Helps Keep it kiddie safe .. Lots of R&D went into this ladder .. Much better beefy & stronger than I expected.!Even with the 2 issues I mention ..the bolt hole out of line just a bit.. and the stabilizer rails mounting issue.. I still think this is the best ladder on the market at this time for above ground pools without a deck.!My Ladder is now safe, stable & wobble free.! . Pool party tested and passed - handles small, med, large and ex-large humans.. no Prob..!I hope this review helps.. Its a great ladder.. Buy it you won't be sorry.. It's also made in the USA.!5 stars all the way.!

We purchased this ladder to replace the original, extremely flimsy, ladder that came with our pool. It was easy to put together with clearly marked instructions. Pay attention to the “A”, “B” stamped on the steps and rails. You don’t need a rubber mallet as a good couple whacks by hand does the same, but it would help. It’s very sturdy and the roll top is an added bonus. The only reason for the 4 star rating is because the plastic at the top of one rail is a little thin with a pinhole leak in it, so when filling the rail with water as instructed, I got a little wet. Nothing a dab of silicone sealant couldn’t fix though. Others commented on the “lock” of the roller, I’d say it’s more of a deterrent than a lock. It’s meant for deterring kids from trying to open the roller on their own. Sure it could be cut off easily, but at that point, the kid could just be jumping in the pool by climbing on a chair. Don’t worry about the “lock”. It slides into place making it so you can open the roller door. Good enough.

This ladder is so nice, wider than ladders that come with pool. Sturdy, we love the safety features as well.

We wanted to replace the flimsy ladder that came with our pool. This was easy to assemble and it is very sturdy. Very happy with this purchase.

This ladder works great, and is very sturdy and well made. My local pool store sells this ladder for $450 plus tax, so it’s frustrating that it’s so over priced on Amazon. But with everything being out of stock this year I didn’t have a choice. Other than that, great ladder

This ladder is amazing it protects the kids from being able to climb in without supervision or he only thing I can say is make sure you use the stabilizer bares they send with it.

We are extremely happy with this product. Perfect for pool, Extremely sturdy the kids love the deck at the top, and we love the added security of the lock for when we’re not there. It only took us 20 minutes to put together (two people) Directions were very straightforward. Highly recommend
