    Default pool ladder too short

    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

    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.
