Why the Confer 7200 RollGuard stands out

This ladder is designed for real-world family use. It’s a great example of a well-engineered pool steps for above ground pool that puts safety and comfort first:

• Made in the USA — built to U.S. quality standards and materials.

• Adjustable fit: Designed to accommodate pool walls 48"–56" tall.

• Strong capacity: Supports up to 300 pounds, so it works for most swimmers.

• A-frame stability: Double-sided A-frame design gives balanced support for entering and exiting the pool.

  
  

Key features — comfort, stability & safety:

• Stable ComfortRead steps: Extra-large comfort treads at 5" x 18" give secure footing and reduce slip risk. The ladder includes a large platform and curved side rails for confident entry and exit.

• Fits wide top rails: Compatible with pool toprails up to 14 inches wide.

• Lockable RollGuard barrier: A built-in, lockable roll-guard prevents ladder use from the outside when the pool is closed (lock included).

• Inner side rails & integrated barriers: Prevent access behind the ladder and increase overall safety for children and pets.

• Durable resin construction: UV-stabilized plastic resists rust and corrosion—no metal to corrode in the pool environment.

Easy assembly & upgrade options:

• Minimal hardware: The ladder ships with few parts and assembles quickly with basic tools — most homeowners can install it without professional help.

• Converts to a deck or in-pool ladder (optional): You can convert this A-frame to an in-pool ladder or for use with an above ground pool with deck using the CK7200 Deck Mount Conversion Kit (sold separately).

• No ballast required: The side rails are filled with water for stability — no sandbags or bricks needed.

Installation & important notes:

• Attach angled braces: The included angle braces add additional support and stability (pool must have a top rail to support the angled braces).

• Not for soft-sided pools: Do not use on inflatable or soft-sided pools with no top rail..

• Dimensions & weight: Overall dimensions are 78" (L) × 22" (W) × 63" (H) and the ladder weighs 56 pounds.

• Weight capacity: Rated for 300 lb maximum user weight.

Safety tips & maintenance:

• Engage the RollGuard and lock it when the pool is not in use to prevent unsupervised entry.

• Check fasteners periodically — tighten bolts and inspect pins for wear from UV exposure and chemicals.

• Keep steps clean of sunscreen or algae to maintain traction.

• Seasonal care: If you live where freezing occurs, consider removing and storing ladder components indoors for the winter to maximize lifespan.
