Description

What the platform does
It is the landing at the top of the ladder that you step onto before moving to the water or the pool walls. The surface is embossed with a diamond pattern, and holes for the fasteners are drilled in the corners.
Signs it is time to replace it
- a visible crack or deformation
- worn patches on the surface
- a step that wobbles
The ladder is the main safe way into the pool, so a damaged platform should not be left for later.
Installation steps
- Take the ladder out of the pool and lay it on a level surface.
- Unscrew the fasteners of the old platform.
- Put the new one in place and secure it through the corner holes.
- Tighten all the screws and check that the structure is stable.
Before you order
- Measure the old part along its full length.
- Compare the position of the holes in the corners.
- Find your ladder's code in the list above.
- Check the other steps for cracks as well.
When repairing, the 494 mm step, the white step sleeve and the blue step are often replaced too.
Care and maintenance
Wash the embossed surface from time to time with a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleaner so that dirt and algae do not build up. Once a season, also check that the screws are tight.
