4 Step Pontoon Boat Ladder, 316 Stainless Steel Folding Telescoping Ladder Rear Entry Inboard Ladders All Welded Reinforce Heavy Duty Swim Deck Ladder Wide Steps Safe Handrails

Overall this appears to be a great dock ladder. It is much more substantial than I thought it would be. I like the fact that it is angled away from the dock so that it is easy to grab the rails and climb up without hitting your hands or toes on the dock. Since we are on salt water I don’t know how it will hold up. But, it is totally retractable and we love the fact that it collapses so you get the value of four steps without having to look at a four foot high ladder sticking up in the air when you pull it out of the water. That was the primary reason we did not purchase a galvanized ladder. My complaint is similar to what one other purchaser wrote. The packaging is terrible. The box came dented and once I opened it I found the assembly hardware had spilled out of its plastic bag. Fortunately all the screws were in the box. Also, IT SHIPPED WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS! While it is easy to assemble I did have to take it apart because there are two set screws that lock the ladder to the bracket that attaches to the dock and I didn’t realize that until it was assembled and I noticed the ladder pulling away from the dock. So, if you also don’t get assembly instructions be aware of this first step that you must perform or you will be pulling the whole thing apart and reassembling it.

Using this on a floating boat dock instead of a boat. Impressed by the heavy gauge SS and clean welding joints. Not sure how long the cinching strap will last in constant outdoor exposure but seems easy enough to replace if it fails. Shiny finish to the ladder but steps have PVC pads to prevent slipping.

We had wooden stairs at the sea wall on Kake Huron. They were always slimy and took a beating. Installed this ladder last July. It works great. I’m 6,-3” and weigh 230. It was plenty sturdy for me. And yet it is light enough to easily pull out and retract after use. Since it dries out of the water it never gets algae to get slimy. We installed it on the deck at the top of the sea wall. Simple.

Wish it was a little wider, and had a clip to hold the ladder up while in transport. It still worked very well, I added two bolts instead of the screws, in the front two legs. I like the length of the ladder, and it held up every weight challenge thrown at it. If you are a heavy set person, it will support you, I know this for a fact.

Very solid construction, excellent chrome plating, very pleased with the addition to our boat. However, the product does not come with assembly and/or installation instructions. There is a step by step on the Amazon website which helped. Again, all of the components fit perfectly, and the assembly looks and works great.

For years we had the portable ladder that we had to store and get it out each time we used it. This ladder is permanent so a lot less work for us! The size is perfect and fit where we had a small gate. It is really sturdy and weighs light so easy to bring up. We love ours!

Easy to install even with no instructions. Size, sturdiness and functionality is great.

This is ladder is an ideal replacement for the wooden one my husband made many years ago. What were children then are full grown adults now, and this ladder will certainly support the largest of them. Just received this ladder so it is not yet installed, but the quality is everything I hoped for, and I’m looking forward to my son, installing it on our dock. It is an excellent design, with wide steps that telescope into a smaller size and clip to the handrails, when not in use. I am very happy with this purchase.

product is good
