Need advice on stairs for above ground pool

[RaceAngel88]

After reading many reviews on Amazon and other sites, I decided on the Confer steps (2nd link that FormerBromineUser posted above). I also purchased the curved add-on piece that makes the steps wider. Based on the reviews, I think I'll make some weights out of PVC pipe rather than filling the steps with sand like the instructions tell you to do. I'll never get them pulled back out of the water if they weigh too much! Anna K. I noticed your link to instructions on how to make the weights. Thanks!

Those step weights have worked out great for us. Our challenge was to find a way to fasten them to the top step in the interior of the wedding cake construct so they could hang. In the absence of that weight in the back the steps tended to tilt forward and away from the wall. Our dogs are VERY rowdy when they jump off the top step.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

We put pvc pipe with a t on the ends through the openings on the sides. Then put 2 50lb. bags of sand in the big ziplock bags on them. Easy to remove in the fall.
