Which Pool Entry System Is Right for You?
New to pool ownership — or looking to upgrade your current ladder? Choosing the right pool entry system is one of the most important parts of safely enjoying your pool. If you don’t feel secure getting in and out, you’re less likely to truly enjoy it.
There are several great options depending on your pool’s setup and your preferences. Use the buttons below to follow the path that matches your situation — whether you have a deck, want steps, prefer a ladder, or something in between.
There are several different entry configurations — deck ladders, A-frames, and step-and-ladder combos. Our new 9300 Roll-2-Guard Ladder is the only solution that works in all of them — no extension kits, conversion kits, or adapters required. Just one ladder, any setup.
Do You Have a Deck Around Your Pool?
No Deck? What Kind of Entry System Do You Prefer?
Ladders are compact, efficient, and easy to climb. A great choice for confident swimmers and those who prefer a simpler entry system.
Steps offer stair-style entry with wide treads and greater stability. Ideal for families, elderly swimmers, or anyone who prefers comfort.
No Deck – Ladder Options
These freestanding ladders are designed for above-ground pools without a deck. If you add a deck later, many of these models can be converted with a kit. Or, choose the 9300 Roll-2-Guard Ladder in its A-frame setup — it’s designed to be split into two separate deck ladders without needing any extra parts.
No Deck – Step System Options
Step systems feature wide, stable treads for a staircase-like entry into the pool. They provide a more secure footing than traditional ladders — perfect for anyone who prefers steps over rungs.
Ladder + Step Hybrid Systems
Deck? Choose Ladder or Stair-Style Steps
Ladders drop into the pool from your deck. Easy, compact, and ideal for minimal setups.
Steps offer a more permanent-feeling entry, great for both lounging and accessibility.
Deck – Ladder Options
These ladders drop directly into your pool from the deck and are secured in place for stability.
Deck – Step System Options
Step systems offer wide treads, a built-in handrail feel, and unmatched comfort for all users.
A-Frame Ladder Conversion Options
Planning to build a deck later? You’re covered:
- Use a conversion kit to adapt most A-frame ladders for deck use
- No kit needed for the 9300 Roll-Guard Ladder — it splits cleanly into two deck ladders!
