STeps any suggestions?

We made tubes filled with Quickcrete using 3 inch PVC pipe. We placed three of them inside the bottom step and suspended three others from the top step, holding them with electrical ties and S-hooks. The ones inside the bottom step have yellow nylon rope attached, the other ends of which we tied to the loops for the hanging tubes.

Removal of all tubes is relatively easy - nobody has to get into the water, and, since we keep the pool open (for the dogs) until the end of October, retrieving the weights without having to get in was a critical issue
