Bath mat to protect liner under ladder?

[ScottS]

Thanks for the ideas. I'm tired of fighting with the "ladder pad" that I bought with the ladder because it never stays under the ladder. It always ends up somewhere else in the pool and I was concerned about the liner near the steps.

Instead of a bath mat I was thinking of possibly using one of the outdoor brush mats as such


I think something like this would be heavy enough to stay in place.

Then again even a water noodle zip tied in place somehow would be perfect. They are cheap enough to experiment with

OK, I understand this solution likely has a very limited appeal but I thought I'd post a pic anyway. It's worked very well for us, was cheap, goes "with" the ladder in case the ladder is put into the pool in different spots, doesn't slime up because the flip-flops have a chance to dry out if/when to ladder is removed from the pool (we take ours out overnight). Very classy indeed......

Wow!!!!!!! After 12 years, our ladder has stood the test of time, nothing under it! I have to admit there are ladder marks in the liner! Just an indenton where it goes, but it isn't a big deal!

Amy,

Personally I think the Flip Flop is the perfect thing to put on the "Foot" of the Ladder !!
