"Non-traditional" metal-framed pools have become all the rage in the swimming pool industry as consumers have been buying the more-affordable pools -- produced by the likes of Intex -- in great numbers in the past few years.
Our ladders were never designed for use with such pools (due to the need to fasten to a traditional pool's top seat). To accommodate such pools we are introducing a ladder adapter kit this fall. The first of these kits will come off the molding machine by the end of this month and will be on display at November's International Pool and Spa Show.
Here is a drawing of the kit in use with our 7100 ladder.
