Did anyone use sand for the cove when installing this product?If so, does it go underneath or above the sand?

This product is best used right up against the pool liner. We installed with sand, then the pool blanket, then the pool.

The sand only is placed on the floor of the pool, coming up to the cove. No sand on top or behind cove or it will not install properly.

We used the foam cove wedges. I would highly recommend them. Don't see how you could put sand on top of the pad.

Bottom screws off. We added shells & sand to ours. Sand made it a bit messy, but end result beautiful.

You have to use sand. Our pool is also about 6 inches below our deck. We used sand and have never had a problem.

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

Hey Gary,I did have similar situation her: deck against the house. The solution was to screw from the top, face screw. Just use the drill bit from the kit and drill enough so the screw head will be under the deck level by 1mm or 2mm. To hide the screw I used some wood filler and sanded later. You only need to do this on one side of the boards as the other side you can pre-drill away from the obstruction (house wall) and screw without the jig, taking care to not over screw. After oil, the wood filler is almost impossible to spot!

Since we live on a hillside we had someone come level the ground with a machine. So we had to put sand beneath because of the exposed rocks in our area. You'll need about an extra foot around for the supports.

I gave the sand and the box to my husband at Christmas. He's put a plastic top on it but I'm sure it wasn't necessary. It's not air tight and the sand is just like new. Hope you enjoy it.

No sand is needed if installed properly. Great ladder. Had another just like it and lasted for years. With stands rambunctious kids and intoxicated adults!

We out down sand but it really needs to be level. We even wet the sand down to get it settled and where we wanted it before putting the pool on the sand.

Mine is always set up in a lower portion of our deck so there is not too much trouble with wind, But... When I do need help, I put a small bag of sand along the inner supports .

Yes, absolutely. When it comes, you have to put it together, The top piece and the 4 legs. Just pull the legs back off and stick it all back in the box. I bought two of these, one for my daughters house and one for mine. My daughter's doesn't have the sand section. We just use both sides with water instead of buying sand at my house.

Sorry, I don't know. We were using it for sparklers and had sand in the bottom of it..didn't have any problems.

I'm not sure if there is a place to put sand, but I would not be putting sand in my pool. I put two five pound weights in the bottom step.

We have sand under ours. Just be certain your sand is completely level to prevent dips and valleys. We thought ours was, but we ended up with a few slightly noticeable areas where we must have not leveled footprints well enough.

I run mine in sand all the time just hose it off when done and dry it to or the screws will rust.

Hi Barbara,I bought mine last year and i have had zero problems with it and it is very secure. I filled mine with sand as it said you should and it worked great! I live in an area where we have a lot of wind and it did not waver a bit. I also have pea gravel over the bottom lip flush with the upper lip of the base and it has not moved in the first year yet. I have mine by a path leading up the side of my waterfall and the lights look great!! I hope this helps and thanks. Rick
