ladder: anchors how high?

another thing you may consider before the concrete is done, is to put tape underneath the anchor sockets so that concrete doesn't get accumulated inside of the socket, and don't worry when it rains the water will manage to make a way out and go into the ground. And yes the best way to set the sockets is opposite of the pool copying meaning away from it so that it will be easier to use a wrench to remove the ladder

Thanks for all the feedback. I put A long piece of #6 copper bonding wire I had laying around down throught the hole and into the ground. pulled out the wire before the concrete was too hard and had a hole for the water to drain into. Pour turned out great. Now to get the pavers in and set. That will have to wait as I am in WV in PA school during the week now and time is limited. Chris
