The description says for inground pools. Can it be used on a wood deck? Is it too heavy?

I think it would be fine on a wooden deck....not sure why it would say for inground pools.

This hoop is for a swimming pool and Yes you can use it on a deck, I've had mine for 4 years and it is great.

I think if your deck can support people it can support this. If it holds 20-30 gallons of water and water is 8 pounds per gallon, it weighs about 250 pounds at most when filled up. I think it says in-ground pool because a normal above-ground has no deck and there is no way to attached this to the side of an above ground pool.

It's not heavy - you fill it with water for weight. Are you using on an above ground and sitting on a wood deck?
212953
Sure. It is not very heavy at all, even when you fill the base with water. The rim only sits about a foot or so off the ground. We have it on the pool deck in the 3 1/2 foot end. I'm six feet tall and can dunk flat footed.

yes, I use them on my wooden deck stairs leading to pool and playground area..I hammered them in with thick metal staples to hold in place when the kids run on them.

I have used mine on the pool deck as a lounger. It was very comfortable. Since it is so sturdy, I would assume large person would have no problems. There is no specific weight limit listed.

I am not familiar with what Kayak decking is, but if it is a material that you can drill screws into, then this will work. Just double check measurements! In my opinion this is a light duty system. It may not handle the weight from a larger pool cover.

We attached ours to a wooden deck & it works great. We have an above ground pool with a deck built around the top.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons:1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly.2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet.3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up.I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

It is much thicker gauge construction then you would find for a pool float. It will hold up to sliding against some smooth river rock with some weight. Just know you are down and out if it pops.

Yes, this should be able to be used on virtually any pool. I have an above ground with Trek decking and it works perfectly for me.

It is slightly slanted, similar to a step ladder. Our bottom rung does rest on the floor of the pool which is just an above ground on a compacted dirt/sand base. So if the pond floor is firm, or you could make it firm, I suppose it would work. You wouldn't be able to have it free standing off a deck though.

We purchased it for an in ground pool. I believe it would need a platform to rest the base if you were going to use it in an above ground pool.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

You could as long as you have a level deck around it. The pool wall and the decking should level to ensure the slide works perfectly. I would only recommend it for small kids in an above ground pool as the force from the impact generates a lot of waves and could damage an above ground pool if adults were using it. That being said, I mainly have adults using it for an in ground pool and it is AWESOME!

Yes it can be put on a deck. I would use long all thread bolts for the legs to hold into place.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

No, the ladder fits on the side of the pool so the extension on the top would be to wide to hold the ladder in place. But, if you have a wood deck around your pool you could drill holes for the legs and use some kind of support under the deck, otherwise no.

That is the same way for my pool. I cut and stacked two treated 2" x 6" boards (one set for each arm) to macth the two mounting arms on the steps and attached the boards to the wood deck and then attched the arms to the boards. I have had no problems, works great, very stable.

No, the slide has a "water weight" (a filled container you fill) that rests on the concrete to maintain positioning. Only the front part rests in the water. If you have a large, stable deck around the pool, perhaps it would work, but I believe it would be too dangerous.
