Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great set of steps. I didn't want to put sand inside of the steps because I want to be able to lift the steps out of the water before winter time so I put sand in these three gallon buckets removed the metal handles so they wouldn't rust and replaced them with nylon rope. I used 1 1/4 PVC pipe with two end caps. Just cut to the width of the steps Saving Room for end caps to just push on the end using no glue that keeps the pipe from sliding left or right and falling out of the grooves on the side of the steps. This has been working great for two seasons and will do the same thing this year hope this helps somebody.
