How Do You Hold Down a Pool Ladder

A plastic, hand-size dumbbell set also can be used to hold the steps in place. You can secure one to each side of the step with a small plastic bungee cord or nylon rope. If the dumbbells are the type that you need to fill, use clean sand and make sure they are closed tightly.

How do I get my pool ladder to stay down?

If your ladder doesn’t allow for adding water, you can use vinyl or plastic water bags designed to hold a pool cover in place to weigh down the ladder. Simply use nylon rope to tie the bags to your ladder so it stays in place.

How do you make a pool ladder stable?

If your ladder doesn’t have a cavity to add sand or water, make your own weights. For example, fill plastic bottles with sand or water and tie them to the base of the ladder, or you use neoprene- or vinyl-coated exercise weights such as aqua-fitness weights, which are meant for use in underwater aerobics.
