I have a 16 foot pool, which should I purchase. Also, does this come with a section that opens to install the ladder?

Erica we left a section open for a ladder so it is open when a ladder is not in the pool.

There should be a chart, count how many top rails you have... Then look on the chart to see how many sections you'll need... It will leave an opening for your ladder... Easy install... Did my 18 foot in about 3.5 hrs by myself.. Hope this helps.. I left out one section on purpose as it does not swing open... All sections are fixed...

It depends on how many upright or vertical rails you have. The sections attach to those rails.

I found a Size and Specification Chart at: http://www.glipoolproducts.com/product.asp?ProdID=19Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with the hose, I have an 25ft. round pool and it's more than enough for it.

The height of the top platform is adjustable, I have 54" deep pool and have more to go up. That is not a problem, one problem is that the bottom of the pool has to be level with the outside ground because there is no adjustment on the ladder for that. Second biggest problem is that with the safety gate on you need to be a small person to get up and down the ladder. Also the gate shuts behind you when you get into the pool, which makes it hard to get out. Would buy this ladder again.

I just measured mine and got 59" outside and 58" inside to the top of the platform. I have a 4 ft pool and the platform is about a foot above the pool edge, 6" if you count the support pieces. I used to have "steps" into the pool and the ladder looks like you could cut some of the steps off.I don't think it's a good idea to plant your pool in the ground. Think about what your winter weather would do to it.

Here you go! This is what I followed to install it. You're going to love this ladder.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWrgvVAFYII

That's all I ordered and my pool guy installed it. He recommended this unit. It is much smaller, quieter and more efficient than my old one that rusted out.

Very Easy to install - Find the place on the hand rail where you want it to be. 1st make sure to have the screw head facing out so you can use the screwdriver to tighten. There is a slot to place the other part in (comes in 2parts) pull the 2 parts together around the hand rail line up the holes and tighten slightly position the guard where you want on the rail the fully tighten. (NOT to tight that it would break.) So far working great for us.We bought them so our pool sweeper would not get caught in the ladder. Hope this is clear and good luck.

I have an 18' cover to fit a 20' pool - no need to take out the ladder. We've had it blown off the pool once by a 50 mph wind, but otherwise it stays put. We have a PVC pipe to roll the cover up on when we're using the pool. I can roll it up by myself, but it is easier with someone at the other end of the pipe.

I own this ladder and am very pleased with it. We currently do not use a pool cover, but the one we have is big enough to fit over the ladder without removing the ladder. I think it all depends on the type of pool cover and the size of the pool cover.

yes, the pool came with ground cloth, cover, ladder, pump, hoses with connections etc. The only thing I questioned was when the pump was manufactured. After fooling with these pools for several years, I suggest everyone invest in (in order of importance,) a intect sand filter, a over the wall scimmer, and consider an automatic bottom cleaner if you get a large enough sand filter. There is a lot of work in a pool of this size. These additions, although they can be expensive, will last longer than the pool, and reduce the maintence to next to nothing.

I went to lowes in the pool section and got the 20ft of standard pool hose that an in ground pool would use. I went to the pipe section and got a rubber coupling and two hose clamps that came with it.

It came with a hose plenty long enough to reach across mu 24 foot round pool. In fact, I had to remove one section so it would not keep getting caught under the steps.

It comes with filter and pump but the cover and ladder are extra. You should remove and clean filter weekly and replace monthly. They can get purchased at Wal Mart the pool holds approximately 4000 gal of water so get the chlorine crystals as well. I got a cover but never used it. It takes two people to put it on. My grandkids loved the pool it is a very worth while buy but make sure it is fairly level

Yes, the hardware is included. It's simple to do---just a battery powered screwdriver and a ruler for making sure both legs are equidistant from the edge of the deck. The legs don't touch the bottom of the pool until you get on the ladder. For that reason, yes you do need a pad. I folded my pad so it has a double thickness under it to support the weight of a person. That's just me being extra careful about not doing any damage to the liner. I remove the pad when Winter arrives (crud will accumulate under it otherwise). After owning the ladder for over a year now, I must say it was an excellent purchase.i highly recommend it.

No. The picture is of the air deck. You need the project tray which is similar, but fits the 17 foot ladder.

This depends on the height of your pool side wall. Mine is 52 inches and the ladder (outside) portion is less than 24 inches from the wall. It really depends on your setup. I will say that I'm very pleased with the ladder and steps, as they are much more stable than the A-frame style that came with my pool.

I actually have 18x48 intex pool and it works for me. It has 50' clearance from the ground. I use the ladder that comes with the pool on the other side in the water. So this ladder's top step sits on top of the support pieces of the intex ladder. This way 2' gap is closed and they both sit on the pool wall. I also bought the widest plastic zip ties from Home Depot and secured both ladders to each other and to the pool wall. I have been using it for two pool seasons and so far so good. Also, the lock that comes with the enclosure is crap and it rusts after a few weeks. I would recommend buying a stainless steel one from hardware store.
