Omg thank you so much for this video 🙏🏿👏🏾🙌🏿🥰 I have an above ground pool an intex and I’m a big woman and that little ladder 🪜 won’t do nothing for me 🤦🏿♀️ so I’m online shopping for pool ladders and their extremely expensive and the reviews aren’t good. I’ve been on here looking for a easy to understand diy and yours by far is the most simple and makes the most sense. Thanks again 🙏🏿
Thank you for the excellent video. With your instructions and supply list, my son and I were successful. 😊. Our steps are in. We are ready for the pool season.
Another option is to remove the wood planks in the winter entirely, to keep the wood from being damaged. It has an industrial look to it, but I’d be tempted to spray paint the bricks a soft white.
love using the 4x and cinder blocks. I had to tear down my deck and try to reuse it now that I have an intex 52'. My steel wall was 52' but the intex sits way higher. Stairs get trashed over time and a pain to rebuild. Since I have old 4x4 sections, and 2x why not use these as stairs like you did. Cinder blocks are like $2.58 and 8' step up is comfortable and step width is nice too.
What keeps the cinderblocks from rocking? I have an Intex 52 as well. I am five blocks high with the sixth one sideways for the 4x4 and it rocks left to right
I did one for my aboveground pool and I attached ladder to the top step so it's a ladder that goes in the pool and I painted the outside wood and added solar lights on the side and looks incredible.
Im trying to determine how many steps & the materials needed for a 48" pool wall. I love this idea and hope to surprise my family by doing it while they're out!!
Thanks for the idea! We need six steps and I can figure our materials from your five step list. Do you think making them 3 feet wide instead of 4 will be ok? Also, we don't have a deck so this will for direct access to the pool.
Hello!! And same. These steps will be direct access onto a drop-in set of steps inside our pool. Did you finish yours? How did they turn out? Our pool stands right around 50" and the walls are 48". We're about to get started this weekend and trying to make sure we have everything ready!!
I really like this idea, but my concern is someone or something, having easy access to get into the pool. Right now I have a wooden ladder( not the pool ladder) on hinges that are connected to the deck. The ladder is then raised up when the pool is not in use. We have taken the pool ladder apart and used each side to attach to the inside of the pool. One of these is placed from the deck side, and another across to the other side. This is just a precaution as something easy to grab onto, when swimming ,if needed. Our pool is 24' x 52". Should an accident happen (and hopefully it never will!) if there is an easy access to your pool, (even on your property) you could be held legally responsible. Just a thought.
@@borryx401 No not yet. My pool had to be taken down and rebuilt as it wasn't straight. I just got it back up and now I need to decide what to do about the stairs. When I measured it would take 6 cinder blocks high at the highest point.
@@jamesfinnegan3154 oh no that sucks! I’m hoping to pick the stuff up this upcoming week, I’ll let you know how it goes.. and same I’m going to skip the first step and put a higher one at the end to come up another 8 inches as my pool walls are 54”.

Awesome. I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for watching 😃
We are having the same issue. Did you build these steps for your pool?
Dude's a Genius!

Awesome. How difficult was it for you? Was it pretty simple?
Great job, Don, I will try this for my pool.
Sounds good. Let us know how it turned out
That is great what about the inside pool I cannot use the ladder because it is too small any suggestions
This is exactly what I had in mind!!!!
Great job!! Thank u for sharing!!
Thank you 😃
Thank you so much, I love it so much 😊
It look solid, love it!
It’s pretty solid. Thanks for watching 😃
Nice job question my back door steps are wobble can this type of structure be used for my steps thank you
Nice and easy. Looks a little dangerous with nothing securing the cinder blocks together but I'm going to use this as inspiration for sure.
Hi yeah, it’s heard liquid nail works great with concrete

@@darkzq great idea
Thanks for the idea! Do you have a material list somewhere?

What keeps the cinder blocks from shifting?
Yo this is dope💯 will most definitely be doing this myself. Great vid thanks!
Glad it gave you some ideas. Good luck with your build. 😃

That’s awesome, wish we could somehow see it
Yes! Can you upload a picture here in the comments? I’d love to see it too!! ❤

Hi, check out the video at 1:03 it shows a 5 step and integrated the stairs in the middle…it depends on how tall your pool is.

Thank u good idea I love it
Thanks. And thanks for watching 😀
So this works great for an intex above ground pool instead of that ladder it comes with?
Awesome video dude. Not a fan of the included ladder that came with my pool. Gonna make a set of these soon. Thanks again 👊😏👍
What happens if someone puts pressure on it from the side? I would be worried it will fall from the dogs
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏
You are welcome. Thanks for watching 😃
Just got a like and sub! Thanks 💯
Dope will b doin this😍
Cool, good luck. Let us know how it goes

What is that around the pool what type of rock
I think they’re river rocks from Home Depot
How about the inside pool what do you do
What is the size of your pool? I'm trying to determine how many steps I'll need for a 52 inch wall.
12x22
Did you end up building it? How many steps did you go with ?

Would just be big enough for a 300-pound person
Looks like you poured concrete footings. Can we just put chat?
Stupid and dangerous just build it out of wood.
