Swimming pools in home backyards were unheard of, a few decades back which were generally confined to hotels, clubs, schools and other such institutions mainly due to the high cost of purchasing, installing and maintaining them.

Today the versatile Poly Vinyl Chloride or PVC material, commonly called Vinyl, which is freely available and manufactured worldwide at very reasonable cost has revolutionized the swimming pool concept.

Vinyl has brought a new dimension to having swimming pools above ground level that are convenient to install, easy to move from one location to another, minimum cost to maintain and available at affordable prices.

These above ground Vinyl swimming pools could reach heights of about 60” or five feet and once installed would need incident or danger free and convenient access for adults as well children.

When especially children have to climb up about five feet above the ground to gain access to the swimming pool it becomes imperative that they are allowed easy access and exit without any harm or injury being caused to them.

For this it is necessary that the accessibility so accorded should have the mandatory safety measures and hence when you purchase such access steps it should be borne in mind that every possibility is taken into consideration.

To facilitate such access you could install above ground pool steps with handle bars for easy access into and out of the above ground swimming pool.

As diving into above ground pools are prohibited due to its low depth it has to be easily accessible even after a pool user climbs above the pool wall and for that there are well designed steps to gain access into the water.

These above ground pool steps come in a variety of designs to suit any type of pool at any particular location which can be easily installed to provide the convenience needed to gain quick and easy access.

The steps are available either in plastic, polyethylene or even expensive wooden finishes with the appropriate safety perforations to prevent slipping and causing injury to users.

Most of these steps come in a dismantled condition with understandable and easy “Do it yourself” instructions and would also carry the mandatory warrantees.

Some above ground pool steps are also available in stainless steel with anti corrosion resistance which makes then more durable, as it is in constant contact with water.

The material that the steps are made of does not matter but they need to be resistant to constant splashes of water and also be slippery free so that it does not pose dangers to users especially children.

When installing above ground pool steps it should be at the most convenient place around the swimming pool which should not only provide convenient accessibility but also be at a very safe location.

If for instance the above ground swimming pool has been designed in such a way to create access through a large platform, then all necessary safety precautions should be addressed like perimeter fencing etc which are mandatory for any swimming pool.
