I have an 18 ft pool with steps that come out of the pool that are not removeable. How would I use a cover with them and what size would I need?

Our steps also come out of our pool. Our pool is 24 ft round. We ordered that size. The cover lays right on top and when it gets to the pool steps we tuck it around the handles the best we can.

You would order the 18' cover and just cut slits to slide around the ladder. They cut very easily.

No, and you do not want that in a solar cover. Get it large enough to fit to the very edge (trim if it you must) and if there is any overhang, flip it under, inside the pool. Lofting it over the edge means it can blow away, and reduces the warming power. The better it fits to the edge of the pool, the less movement and less debris. FURTHER I used one of those drawstring things. OKAY they don't work to keep debris out, for sure. If it rains, then you have 200 pounds of water in the center, no way can you get the thing off without dropping most of the debris. It cannot be pulled off with the water in it, and to drop that water in the pool means SCUZZ. Solar covers work 100 times better for debris, they can be lifted up, and debris simply blows off.

One person can pull the cover from the pool-it is easier with two. If you have lots of room, you can just pull the entire cover from the pool-use a hose to spray debris and dust from the cover. If you have limited space, pull a few sections at a time, folding one layer over the next. You will always get a bit of debris coming from the cover as you remove the cover-use a net to skim it away.

Have a pool that fits the run on ladder left up and pull down you also will have to release each individual section. Hope you understood and I explained it. I really like my ladder it is so Convenient!!!

Pool is large enough, problem is the steps float and if you put too heavy weights on them, then you would not be Able to remove them. Need to figure a way to put temporary weight that would hold but would be easy to remove.

my pool is 18' in diameter. But, all you have to do is pull 1 end of the cover & fold it over, walk around the pool & pull up another corner, and fold it until it is in a manageable bundle that you can remove (to hose off now & then) or to pull is half out of the pool so you can swim. Not hard, not heavy or complicated. Have you ever BEEN in an above ground pool? If so, you'd know how easy it was.

My pool is 40 by 19. I had just enough for the cover to cover the pool and then almost the steps. The length was fine. I believe the width was just about exactly 22 feet, So the cover will cover your pool nicely but not the steps. I don't think that matters much.

Our pool is 54" and the top step is just below the top edge. You might want to shop for a 3 step version. This is our second year with these steps and are very pleased at how well they have held up.

That is the way we are using it. I needed the wider steps to get into the pool. It works wonderful.

I can't tell you as the trailer is parked far away and I can't get to it now. I bought two different presto step covers at different times. For our 3 steps, I thought I'd only need one and no- you need 2 because each foot needs to be wiped off and no ones does both on one step. anyway, the two covers are different sizes and colors - i didn't care. So I wouldn't know which was which anymore. sorry.

The mate size I ordered a mat that was 3 x 2" and found that I was really to small. If you do order the ladder you will find that the placement within the pool is the real key to the size of mat you will need. my mat fit just under the stair s width and extends about a foot on both sides. But can slide under the steps very eazy. I would recommend if you can find one about 4 x 4 this will allow you to locate the mate back up to the side wall of the pool and provide a good area on all sides for additional protection. Just an added note you might find out that you you have a little some gap between the ladder and the pool where a small mat will move around on you. Hope that helps.

I have installed it around an 18ft diameter pool and use it to hold an 18ft diameter cover. The 5 hooks are just enough for that size & weight - especially if it has rained and there was water on the cover before I removed it. So, a 33ft diameter cover would be much larger & heavier that I would install 2 sets of 5 hooks. (FYI - if you have access to a PVC pipe bender, you can make your own because that's all these are: 1" diameter PVC bent with a cap on the end and hung with a small dowel through holes drilled thru the PVC at the other end.)

You would have to find a 30 ft pole to roll the cover. You need a deck, since this is for in ground pools.

Our pool is 50" to to the coping and the first step is ~1" above the water. Your top step may be a few inches below the water but I would think it would work fine.

We lift our ladder out of the pool when we cover it. It can easily be cut. Easy to pull back onto pool but we use two people to make it easier. Otherwise you just walk around pool and adjust it. To keep in place, we tie rope crisscrossed over pool but I am looking into bungee cords.

You have to cut to size I don't think any pool will be exactly the same size. Cutting it won't be a problem. The 2 things that will damage bubble covers: leaving out in the sun (when not on pool) and if you have rough edges around the pool lift out do not drag over the edge.

The cover is round. It sounds like your pool is rectangular. My 15 foot round pool was a perfect fit for the 15 ft round cover.
