Sitting in your speedboat and looking up at the sheer wall of a dock doesn’t inspire confidence when you’re trying to get from your boat to the shore. You’re basically looking at scaling a nearly impassable obstacle that can only be mounted with the greatest of effort.

You can relax, safe in the knowledge that all you need to do to get from ship to shore is easily mount the stairs to disembark. Not every mounting ladder fits in every situation, and that’s why you need an adaptable one.

Adding stairs to your dock or swimming pool area is one of the smartest ways to make the space safer for you, your loved ones, and your guests.

The key to getting the most from your dock steps is to make sure that it is the right length to fit your specific location and needs. There is typically 12” between most steps, which means--for example--if you are standing on the last step of a 3-step ladder, you are going to be 3 feet below the mounting surface. The more steps you have, obviously, the easier it will be for you to step out of the water. So how do you choose the right amount of steps? Usually, you want to the last step of your swim ladder or dock steps to be at least two feet below the water surface so you don’t have to struggle or climb as you make your way out of the water. For example, if the distance between the mount...
