Is it rigid or flimsy??? Does it have to be mounted on a board to be used on the side of the pool like shown or on a fence?

I have mine laying in the grass next to the pool and it works like a charm.

We have ours lying by the pool and not mounted. It is a hard plastic. Only problem we have is we wish we had more than one. They told us 1 panel was good for a 21 ft pool. But we feel we could use two. Will probably but another one or go with the coil one. Which I would prefer. It doesn't kill the grass.

It is not stiff as a board but there is some rigidity to it. The plastic is hard. You do not have to mount it to anything. We just laid ours flat on the lawn. You just want to make sure that wherever you put it, it is getting plenty of sun.

We bought this for my husband's mom, and she got it mounted on a board. It works amazingly and has saved a lot of money with heating the pool!

A flat yard is helpful, although ours slopes a bit. A slight slope is actually kind of helpful, as you can direct the water out of the pool in the direction of the slope when it's time to put the pool away. As for it impacting the enjoyment of the pool, it doesn't, as you simply have a slightly fuller side than the other. We've now had two months with our pool and have used it 10 times or so, and it's durable and fabulous. We're very happy with our purchase.

We mounted ours on our wood shed that's about 10 feet away from our pool and it worked just fine. We got our pool to 86 deg, which sure beat the 67 deg we were trying to get used to!

It is an excellent kid pool slide, all plastic. Our kids attached a water slide at the end and zoomed all the way across the yard. It is not free standing so it still needs to be attached to a deck or play house.

I have an above ground 24' round. My property slants to an 18" drop so the pool didn't need to be fenced all around. I used 5 sections of the fence for the area that wasn't 48" high from the ground. It wasn't hard to put up but you needed 2 people who are familiar with tools.

it is the sturdiest pool poll i have ever used and can't imagine using one that is heaver. Don't let the weight deceive you as the pole is made out of aluminum, and thus the light weight, it is very sturdy.

Top only, bottom has rubber bumpers and leans against the wall of the pool. You will need the Anchors and Escutcheon for the top part. Also keep in mind that the Anchors need to be grounded by an Electrician.

I would say it is. Our fence is held up by concrete holes, but we had to tie it to the house and to the pool screen. It's sturdy, but the tension could be in question if it's just in grass. Good luck!

We have ours in pool and are very happy with it, have it anchored to deck which surrounds our pool. Only problem I could see to having it outside would be how to anchor it to pool. Maybe it could just set by poolyou weigh it down with sand in tubes, but the arms for anchoring it would stick out in pool would need to cut them off. This might be a question for manufacturer.

Of course. It does not matter what side you use, it is free standing, not attached to the pool at all. If you are worried about it tipping over, put some cement blocks on the bottom frame of the ladder.

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

we did not set it up..but I am hoping you attach it to the pvc poles we have on the side of pool.

It is heavy enough not to float. It just sits over the side. It suited our purpose very well.

Its heavy enough to stay in pool no floating. Must be on flat level surface. People have come close to falling off because iits very easy to loose it on unlevel ground

It's actually a pretty sturdy base, but I think my husband may have put a brick or paver against it to help hold it up. Hope that helps. Ours works well and is right by the pool for getting in and if you want to rinse off after you get out.

I have it for a larger pool but it does not attach to the sides. The only thing is if it is not filled with water it can be a bit unstable.

We just lay it on the water and let the extra fold back against the pool wall (pointing up or down, it doesn't seem to matter). We have had it on during windstorms and it hasn't been a problem at all.
