We want a stair rail for an inground pool with steps, that is removeable for storage in the winter. Will this one work for this purpose?

Yes it can be removed as it is bolted into the anchors mounted into the deck.

We only cut out a small piece to fit our stairs inside the pool. We were hesitant to buy the reel because of cost, but thankful we did. I suppose it depends on the size of your pool. Ours is a 16' x 32' and the reel makes it so easy to handle. Additionally, winter storage is made easy. If you do decide to purchase a reel, get a good one as they will last for years.

I do remember in the instructions it telling me that you could do that and showed you how. However i can't find my instructions now but it can be done. I put them on my pool and its screwed down to the deck and its very sturdy. I have to say its the best stairs i ever bought.

I doubt that you can. It would surely not be recommended but, I guess if you drilled hole in enough places to allow water inside the steps, they would be easier to keep down. This probably will effect the integrity of the steps and I would not do it. I used the sand and it made my steps very stable.

I have mine in a shed on a dock on a lake and the floor is open with decking...I emptied it for winter...worked great last summer

No, The Top step should be level IF the steps inside the pool and the steps on the outside are at the same height. I put concrete step pavers underneath my outside steps and then realized I had to dig out some earth to make the steps level with the inside ones.

There are 2some sets of brackets that get mounted to the rail. The poles snap into these brackets to convert between the games and allow for winterizing the pool. Hope this helps.

You would need to buy enough for it to extend the entire length of the steps on both sides. I still need to get a second set for my ladder, but yes, it absolutely stops the Polaris from getting stuck.

We have these steps on our pool and we have a pad under them so they won't damage the liner. I also order the pad through Amazon and it works great.

If you put it against a solid surface but then you wouldn't have the steps so I would say no....hope this helps

Yes, I'm sure they would. My pool is 52" deep and the top step is only a few inches below the top rail, covered by 1-2 inches of water. The arm that screws into the upper deck to hold the steps in place is adjustable and appears to have room to easily adjust up or down. We love these steps. They are so stable and makes getting in and out of the pool much easier, except for the times when my lab or yorkie is lounging on that top step in the cool water, lol. Its a popular spot for them on hot, Florida afternoons.

I have not used it on stairs, mine are too narrow. If there is any kind of breeze you end up covered in snow. Not good.

Sucks at steps. unless its like one of those steep ledge ones. if it's a cascading step/bench step. (gunite/plaster pool that's rectangular shaped with curved corners that I resurfaced with epoxy paint after 15 years)

Hi Kenneth, I did not personally instal the ladder but it is super easy to take the step portion off once the two permanent pieces are put in the surface, in our case a wooden dock. So, look at the hardware and see if they make sense given one hooks into the other. Anyway, sorry if this doesn't help, but it is worth the aggravation if you plan on taking the ladder portion off part of the year.

yes, it will work fine....my son says it will also work in a pool with flat sides by reversing the steps. we are VERY pleased with our purchase!

Really needs a rail to screw the bases into... If the intex pool has a flat rail around the top, then yes. If not, then I doubt it.

Yes, if the top horizontal rail is 1 5/8" or smaller, that is the gap on the u shaped hook in the top of the stair side rails.
