Pool Slide Ladder - Lots of Fun
A pool slide ladder is made for in-ground pools
and can easily be mounted to the deck of the pool. It is important to understand
and learn about the parts so that you can be sure they are all working well and
are in good condition.
The slide itself is the main part of this type of ladder. It is usually made
from fiberglass but other materials such as acrylic, polyethylene and other
plastics can be used as well. It comes in different lengths and shapes. Most are
white or blue but some companies have made other colors. It can be bought with
slopes or slight bends. Some companies manufacture other types that have a cork
screw feature for adventurous swimmers.
All pool slides have ladders for the swimmers to access on it. For the swimmers
safety, ladders should be securely attached to the portion of the slide. The
material of the ladder can be hard plastic, aluminum or stainless steel to match
the slides material. Ladders are made with hand rails to ensure safety of the
riders.
Pool slide ladders are fastened securely on the ground by anchors so that it
will not shake or turn over for safety reasons. There are two ways to anchor the
slide. In the first method, holes are drilled into the legs and deck of the
ladder and slide which is fixed in the concrete. In the second method, the
anchors are attached in the concrete around the pool and the ladder and slide
are attached to it. Metal anchors are usually used to connect the legs and its
ladder to the deck. Nuts and washers are used to fasten securely the ladder to
the concrete.
Most pool slide ladders have a water delivery system for as a water source so
that the surface is slippery enough for the swimmers to slide down. Some slides
require a complicated plumbing assembly. Be sure to review the guidelines of the
manufacturer before slide installation.
