Hi folks, I'm a noob to both forum and pool ownership.

We just purchased this pool https://www.kmart.com/bestway-22'-x-...W007593265001P but haven't set it up yet...
my mother-in-law is VERY short and has parkinsons and I'm morbidly obese ( 372lbs )& on oxygen so we need some stairs other then the cruddy ones that come with the pool I'm sure.
EVENTUALLY there will be a deck on one part but not anytime soon.

We're on disability so income is VERY limited.

What can we do for wide/strong stairs that won't cost a zillion?
I'm sure on the inside we're going to need a wide footer with padding under it to protect the vinyl.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
