just had my Doughboy pool set up, 16'x32'x 54"
deck is being built around 3 sides and almost done with deck boards.
Deck built above wall height of pool, approx. 62" to top of deck board from ground level, and 8 inches above the pool wall.
Now my problem, just put the ladder together, a #7000 Confer plastic's brand.intended to deck mount.
They don't make extensions long enough.
I wanted a little room above pool wall, 2 '' and using larger lumber for joists it really raised the deck walking portion.
Anyone have an idea?
Gonna look silly with deck stairs only to use ground level ladder.
I can only find ladders that go to 56" or so.
Thanks

Sorry, can't help with the ladder -- AG pool trim is not my area of expertise.

I guess you could use steps instead of a ladder. The top step out will be a little long though but it might beat the ladder.
