Thank you for this. I had a brand new ladder but lost the instructions. I was selling ladder and because of your video, I was able to email this video to buyer. Whew!
Made to look so easy, yet I'm having to use a hammer to try and get the round plastic pieces under the ladder steps and they still don't want to fit in. I'm exhausted and I still haven't finished; been over an hour so far
@@TryThisDIYFix Thank you for your message, it's appreciated. I ended up finishing it but the all 4 legs don't touch the ground at the same time (lopsided). The paper instructions provided and all the VDO's I've watch state that pole A&B are left and right, then add the steps, which I followed. However poles A&B are different lengths. I've tried taking the plastic bits off to try putting A with A and B with B, alas after all the hamming I did to get them on, won't allow me to take them off now to try a new configuration. I hope you have a lovely day (your VDO was great BTW) I think I was just provided with a dodgy ladder :(
I'm here right now because my legs are not labeled at all and it's the only reason I can think of that I cannot get these steps to lock in. I will seriously have to beat it with a cinder block to get them in
@@toniadams3783 I feel your pain Toni. Make sure you set-up the pool first and fill it as you're going to need a swim after exhausting yourself in trying to put the ladder together. I discovered its easier to throw yourself over the edge of the pool instead of using the ill designed ladder (only if you're tall enough) but not safe for kids to do that.
Such an excellent video. I have an urgent question. What is the length of one of the A or B legs without handle attached? I want to pack this in my suitcase to take to another country so I’m wondering if the longest parts (A and B legs) can fit diagonally in an XL suitcase.
Yeah. I think that’s ok. As long as most of it goes in you should be good. Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks.
I wanted to make it where my kids would not hurt themselves when they climbed up on the ladder. But I have 2 and I did each of them different so it’s your call.
So mine have extensions and there are bolt holes on all the pieces for both legs but when you try to fit them into the holes they don't go into them correctly. There's like a black rubber piece. How do you attach them? Normally I would never ask a question because it's so simple but I've been trying and cannot seem to figure it out. I think it's because I'm tired from the pool set up and just need to take a break but it's the last part other than the pump. Haha any help would be greatly appreciated
Hmmm. I’m not sure. Do they go a certain way? They might have to go a certain way so they all line up. Also I did just drill a hole in a swing because the holes didn’t line up.
@TryThisDIYFix it was definitely because I was too tired and needed a break LOL I came back to it and even though the ladder legs are all the same the White Cap side has slightly larger bolts than the black cap side. I never thought to look and see that there were two different sizes. Because they look exactly the same with the white cap for all of them. Thank you for responding sir! I appreciate it.
@Try This DIY This is correct, the plate side has the elevating ladder designed to stop toddlers climbing in unsupervised. I assembled my ladder slightly wrong but as my only child is a strong swimmer and 8 years old, I figure it'll be ok.
😮💨 I was ready to get a different ladder, unnecessarily frustrating. Thank you 😅
Hey I’m glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know!

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!
Me and my boyfriend sat there for 45 mins and couldn’t figure this out🤣🤣 this video helped us do it in 10 mins.

Yikes man sorry about that. It did take a few mins! But it does seem to go smoothly after it gets going. I hope this video helped some.

@@cjong2829 thank you. Yeah they aren’t the best. Mine aren’t perfect either. They sway a little but as well.

Thanks for this. Got my Bestway Power Steel 18 x 48 from Sam's and it didn't have instructions for the ladder. Thanks so much man.
You got it! Glad I could help!
Some of my clips aren't going all the way on, even with proper alignment.
Hmm. You might need a rubber mallet or you could need new clips.
True! They looking at me now! Thanks
You got it!
This is so helpful took 20 minutes and done😅
You got it! Glad it helped!
Thanks that was great I misplaced the instructions pretty neat clip system
You got it! Thanks for letting me know.

Oh wow, I’m not sure. I can check later today.
@@TryThisDIYFix would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
@@byanthonysookram ok, ball park is about 48” because it’s about 58” tall with the handles. So I’d guess 48”.
@@TryThisDIYFix you’re the best! Thank you.
@@byanthonysookram you got it!
Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
This seems very easy….I just need my own pool now 😔. Life goals
Thanks! Y’all are big timing! Y’all should just get one! Y’all also have ocean and Disney fun stuff all around you!
Thanks for the help!!!

Thanks
You got it!
Without this I’d be lost
Hey I’m glad it worked!
Thanks for sharing !
You got it! Thanks for watching!
I been fooled too n I gave up.. but now I ve some idea..😅
Awesome. I hope it helps!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Still took me forever and not all the plastic part went into the step.
Yeah. I think that’s ok. As long as most of it goes in you should be good. Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks.
What about disassemble because mine got stuck and I can’t take it apart to fix it
Hmmm. I have t done that yet. You will need to hold both ends of the screw to get the handles off and the hit the steps to pry them up.
Should the bolt head or nut be on the inside? Looks like you used the nut on the inside, but the booklet shows different. Please clarify. Thanks.
I wanted to make it where my kids would not hurt themselves when they climbed up on the ladder. But I have 2 and I did each of them different so it’s your call.
Bolt head in is what I did
@@madmickey78 thanks!

@@jonestown42 you got it! I hope you can now enjoy the pool!
Can the next video be one of the kids trying to put it together?
Haha. That’s a great idea!
What happens if I put 2 As and 2Bs instead of A-B for each side?
Does it still fit?
What bit goes inside the pool?
The legs or the plate?
I put the legs in my pool.
@Try This DIY This is correct, the plate side has the elevating ladder designed to stop toddlers climbing in unsupervised.
I assembled my ladder slightly wrong but as my only child is a strong swimmer and 8 years old, I figure it'll be ok.
@@madmickey78 oh wow! That’s cool. I never knew that.
Can you do a video in hiw to get ladder slats off afyer you fitted them upside-down?
😂😊
Ha. I’ll look and see. Are yours upside down?
@Try This DIY Not now, but once locked in they're pretty tough to separate.
@@madmickey78 yes you are right about that!
Could see what you’re doing here f the video wasn’t so fast
Sorry about that. You can slow it down some. Change the speed to .75 and that might help. Thanks.
What is the weight limit to these ladders?
Hmm. I’m not sure.
150kg
It is not very helpful if you make a fast recording I can barely see the clips
Sorry about that. I tried to speed through the parts I did multiple times.
