can these steps be used from outside of pool

They are designed to screw down on to a deck so I am not sure if able to use outside of a pool. This brand must make a ladder type step that will look similar. These steps are very nice, recommend them.

This item is very sturdy. Can use inside or outside pool. Attaches to deck. I am very happy with Confer curve Base steps.

I don't think so. If the lower ground was out side the pool you could, but not from the inside.

i would NOT install them on your outside deck. we used them for our basement stairs, inside the house.

First off water is lighter than sand the plastic steps will have a tendency to move with the water of the pool. 2. You will need to take3 2x4 boards and anchor the first one to the deck and the the other 2 to each other and then attach the brace to the board. Then you will have to do the same for the other brace.

Never tried these steps that way but I guess they could work that way. I don't use this in the tub--I use it at my back door, which was a ridiculously high step to get into the house.

This depends on the height of your pool side wall. Mine is 52 inches and the ladder (outside) portion is less than 24 inches from the wall. It really depends on your setup. I will say that I'm very pleased with the ladder and steps, as they are much more stable than the A-frame style that came with my pool.

My deck is flush with the top flat metal rim of the pool. So, these steps go in the pool, but attach to the top flat rim of the pool (not the deck). If the deck was higher and slightly over the rim of the pool, then I imagine they would need to be attached to the deck. So when climbing up the stairs from the pool, you would step off onto the deck. They give you a template for drilling the holes. In my case, I had to drill into the metal rim of the pool, and had to be careful not to get the metal shavings in the water.

Not sure if you are asking about the steps or the pad or both. The steps would probably work but top step would be out of the water. We have a above 4 foot pool and the work great..

After looking at some pictures of the Michael Phelps Swim Spa, I agree with Catherine's suggestion. Depending on how you have your spa set up, you would need to anchor the steps using the attachment arms on the top of the steps.

The steps will not touch the side. We laid down a vinyl pad(advertised with the steps) for the steps to set on and it seems to be working great. I do not think that they will have any adverse effect on our liner. once installed, they do not move. Our pool is 36 x 18

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.

As long as the steps are able to handle salt water. Also, if they are hollow and plastic, there need to be a way to fill them with water so they sink. I replaced the ladder that came with the set with a heavier duty one as the one that comes with it is not that great. For the money, the pool is pretty nice. Great for doing laps, volleyball, etc. Good luck.

I bought 2 of sets of the steps last week and had my husband put one in the pool and one on the outside. He used 2 sets of 2" by 6"s for the top step. He screwed the boards on to the part of the steps which hooks normally to a deck. He did stabilize the steps slightly by running a couple of 2" by 4"s from the top step to the ground, but they are not cemented in. I took a bad fall of a pool ladder last summer so I wanted to make sure it was safe. I feel very secure with these steps, and we saved almost $400, than if we had bought the complete set with enclosure. Our kids are older, so we didn't need the enclosure. I hope this helps. I wondered the same thing and took a gamble. I bought 2 of sets of the steps last week and had my husband put one in the pool and one on the outside. He used 2 sets of 2" by 6"s for the top step.

Yes I have the steps outside the pool and the ladder in the pool and I like that better. You have to tie the ladder to either the pool frame or to the steps because it floats. And the steps have to be secured also. I put a rubber bath mat down inside the pool for the ladder to sit on.

I wasn't able to physically remove the stairs, they were too heavy and I couldn't lift them out of the pool! They were fine laid over! I know that's not ideal, but when you can't get them out, it's the next best thing!! :)

I am not sure, but the top step would probably be even with the top of your pool. I would check with the manufacturer.

On our pool, we have a deck constructed around the pool so the stairs did not touch the bottom of the pool. The contractor placed some decking between the deck and the ladder so it does not touch the side of the pool. The handle portion is attached to the decking. We just had this done, it is in our second home, not a lot of use, and when used, by two adults. So far it has held up. I am a little concerned about the strength simply because the stairs do not touch the bottom of the pool.
