PAMASE Heavy-Duty Pool Ladder Weights, 2 Pack

I ordered these dang bags in hopes that they would secure my above ground pool steps better than the ones I used previously. I was also looking for something that I could secure to the bottom of the railing instead of placing it on the shelf located in the center of the back of the ladder, as it’s not easy to get to once the ladder is in place and the weight just doesn’t seem to get distributed appropriately. I actually purchased pool sand because I knew I could find what I needed easier than play sand, so it cost me a bit more. It came in 50 lb bags so I purchased 2. I placed one entire bag (leaving the sand in the packaging) in each of these bags and I rolled it tightly. I got in the pool and my husband handed me one bag at a time and I clipped each one onto the step rail resting the bags along the outside of the bottom step and on top of the ladder mat that is under my steps. Now, as there was some air inside the bags, it appears that water did make its way inside the bags as well since a lot of air bubbles came out of the sack, so it wasn’t air tight. Next year I’ll try to suck the air out with my shop vac before we seal it and see if that doesn’t help keep the water out. Regardless, my pool ladder has NEVER been this secure. It doesn’t move AT ALL, which was exactly what I had hoped for when I purchased these. THEY ARE GREAT for anyone who doesn’t have a pool deck to secure their ladder or pool steps to, or you don’t want to drill holes in your top rail to secure your ladder with bolts, or if you still need more stability with your ladder that is bolted down. I highly recommend! I will try and upload a photo at a later date.

Heavy duty bags, we put 50# still in bags sand drop into our pool to hold down our new ladder they work wonderful.. If your thinking of getting it I recommend ...

We had a new deck built and did not want to drill through it to attach the pool stairs, mainly because we weren’t 100% sure about placement/location of the stairs. Bought these as a temporary fix, but these will be our permanent fix! The stairs did not move!! My husband bought sand bags and put the sealed sand bags in the ladder weight bags. PERFECT! Even with kids in and out of the pool AND little kids clinging to the stairs, they stayed in place. For reference, our pool is an above ground oval.

This works very good. The best thing was that I was able to fit Quickrete 50 lb. Premium Play Sand bags inside these without the need to open the sand bags. I simply slid the sand bags in their original packaging. The process took a few seconds. Lastly, the workmanship feels very sturdy. I don't see any reason for these bags to fail any time soon. Definitely a good choice for anyone considering ladder weights.

Easy to fill, close, and hang on pool steps. I used one bag of Home Depo pea gravel split in half. Recommend using both, but you could experiment with just one side depending your step buoyancy. These are thick material and seem well made. I used washed (I washed first) pea gravel and they solidly hold down the steps and were easy to strap onto the railing upright. It feels like my steps are screwed in or otherwise permanent. While they are visible, they don't detract from the pool and were not in the way in any sense. I didn't want something I had to use a funnel for, so while I would have preferred the square units these are just fine. The only concern with any of these is whether mold could grow and won't know until the end of the season, but honestly, they seal pretty tight so if they do, it's not likely to get back into the pool, so no worries.

These are very helpful with keeping the ladder in place in our above ground pool. Pool is 15 x 30. I can’t give 5 stars because the clasps break. We have purchased 2 sets.

These work great , you’re able to fit a 50 lb bag of sand into this weight without emptying the bag from the store so less chance of sand leaking! They’re heavy duty and easy enough to handle you hook them to the ladder once the ladder is in the pool. I do believe that these bags will last for some time. . The price is decent , Ive used different ones in the past sand would leak and at the end of the season to get them out the handles would break . These have a nice handle built in and they seem do be very durable. Have a happy pool season.

Originally I was getting stairs that needed weights so I bought these. I ended up finding second hand stairs that had weights built in, so I didn't need these after all. But I did repurpose them to help stabilize my outdoor umbrella tables and they work fantastic for that. They seem really heavy duty and great quality. I just can't speak to the pool use at this time.

Holds a big bag of sand and works well.

I didn’t have much faith but they work perfectly. Just installed and stairs are not trying to float up at the front. So happy I finally found a solution!

Just as described and works great

Do the job, needed 3-4 to hold down stairs

Les sacs sont robustes et bien fait.La poignée est solide.Je recommandé.
