The unique snap-lock construction of the Neptune system makes it easy to assemble. 300-lb weight capacity. 5-year limited warranty. Review: Expensive but worthy - Used this ladder with an Intex steel frame above the ground pool. Yes, the description says is not compatible with any Intex pool, I decided to use it and makes a world of a difference getting in and out of the pool, even more importantly for older people. Very easy to assemble, very easy to use. The thing floats! no matter what you put inside, sand, small rocks and/or water the internal side of the ladder will float if ladder is not screwed to the pool ring/frame like the manual specifies. However this ladder is better than any other alternative available outside, the ladder provided with the pool, wiggles, moves around and makes everybody watching very nervous. The ladder is really expensive for few pieces of plastic but no other alternative is around, just deal with it and buy it. Review: Poor Engineering - TLDR: Do not use if you have hollow tubes at the top of your pool frame. Do not order if you have to put it together and have strength, mobility, or dexterity issues, or are not "handy." USAGE I bought this for a disabled family member who has a condition that affects all their joints and makes them dizzy. They describe it as "not any better than the flimsy ladder that came with the pool." I still have to stand at the base of the ladder every time they get in and out of the pool. It's still shaky. BUILD/ INSTALLATION It was over 100 degrees out by the time I started putting this together. I had to do it in three different sets on three different days. The first one was about 45 minutes just to get my bearings and build the first set of stairs. The second set took just about as long - when I added the ladder on that half. The third set took a little over an hour to build the other side. Adding it to the pool was a whole other beast, and is not really something a person can or should do alone, especially if you added sand to the base like you're supposed to and then have to try to get it over the top of the pool. It uses several types of screws that are almost identical in length. Unlike other kits that are marked with paint to help you identify what goes where, they just throw them all together in one bag and have you use a crude chart in the instructions. The machining is not clean. You have to go through and cut off excess plastic bits to ensure the pieces go through and to avoid having jagged edges that can cut your liner. The instructions are poorly done. It lumps activities together in paragraph form. I've had an easier time putting together Ikea furniture. The steps come as a flat piece that you have to step on and bend. Heat is your friend, but even still, someone with dexterity or strength issues is not going to be able to do it. Period. What the description does not clarify is that you do need sand, a screwdriver, a wrench, a drill, and drill bits to complete the install. Additionally, you are supposed to drill holes in this and in your pool frame to complete the installation properly. It is NOT compatible with tube-style frames. I did not see this mentioned anywhere, but all their pictures show pools with flat tops. Now I know why. Even if you install it properly, with the little dowels at the right height (into holes you drill) and add the screw that goes down into your pool frame, the top platform still flexes under your weight. That pushes down on your pool frame. Because the ladder platform has a grid pattern on the bottom, the grid connects with your pool frame. I have a Coleman Bestway Power Steel Pool. After a couple of uses, I discovered this grid dented my pool frame deeply, meaning I now have a vulnerable point in my frame, which makes it more susceptible to bending and the frame more susceptible to collapse. In other words, this has compromised the structural integrity of my pool. I will have to remove the ladder and replace that beam before my pool is safe again. FOOTPRINT This does have a very small footprint, which is nice. However, vacuums cannot get behind it to clean, which means you have to scrub back there manually. Not ideal. SAFETY As mentioned, this has permanently damaged my pool frame. The primary user does not feel safe using it, either. Also, despite following instructions and tightening things down as best as I could, the screws/bolts that hold the rails in place barely catch and then wind up flush when fully tightened, which might seem ideal, but it's a short screw. We literally had one come completely undone and fall off on the first use. BOTTOM LINE This might work on flat-top pools, particularly if the person who is installing it is handy and able. But this was a HUGE mistake for us. I will be repairing my pool and replacing it... which stinks because this was an investment for us as it was. ## Features - SPACE-SAVING ENTRY SOLUTION - Maximize your swimming space! The Neptune A-Frame Entry System features 7.5-in deep treads for sure footing while only taking up 22-inches of space from the pool wall. This compact design is perfect for pools of various sizes, offering a streamlined and efficient entry and exit. - ADJUSTABLE BRIDGE SYSTEM - Much easier than using a standard pool ladder, this step system features a bridge system connecting two full sets of steps. The top platform is 12-in deep x 20.25-in wide (inside handrails) and adjusts up and down to accommodate any pool wall height from 48-in to 56-in. - ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES - The outside steps are equipped with a self-latching, self-closing gate, adding an extra layer of security by preventing unauthorized access and meeting code requirements. For additional safety and security, this step system can be locked with a padlock (sold separately). - EFFICIENT WATER FLOW AND SAFETY PANELS - Flow-through side panels were designed to prevent entrapment underwater, meeting all NSPI standards for safety. They also allow water to circulate freely ensuring a safer swimming environment for everyone. - MAINTENANCE-FREE AND DURABLE - Made from high-density polyethylene, this pool entry system offers exceptional durability and long-lasting use. Its corrosion-proof materials ensure it remains in great condition despite exposure to pool water and UV rays. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ITPPPPI | | Best Sellers Rank | #955,790 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #625 in Pool Ladders | | Brand Name | Blue Wave | | Color | Taupe | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (150) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00672875900664 | | Item Dimensions W x H | 52"W x 86"H | | Item Type Name | Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools | | Item Weight | 52 Pounds | | Load Capacity | 300 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vinyl Works | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 5 year limited warranty. | | Material Type | Polyethylene (PE) | | Maximum Height | 86 Inches | | Other Special Features of the Product | Adjustable | | UPC | 672875900664 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Blue Wave - **Color:** Taupe - **Material:** Polyethylene (PE) - **Product Dimensions:** 52"W x 86"H - **Special Feature:** Adjustable ## Images ![Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools - Taupe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710aLbTARLL.jpg) ![Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools - Taupe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+MqfCgXWL.jpg) ![Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools - Taupe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tBS1Oc9rL.jpg) ![Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools - Taupe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mrgvmarkL.jpg) ![Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pools - Taupe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UzoLOaPaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on a Intex 48" deep pool with inflatable top ring** A: Yes it will work.

I had shoulder surgery and was having such a hard time getting in and out of the pool - the old ladder would tip when you started climbing - this one has such nice wide steps and is weighted so it stays on the bottom of the pool. I have everything from elderly people to young mothers who are getting in the pool with a baby on their hip. The ease of use and extra safety made this purchase (was expensive) well worth every dollar spent!!!!!!!!!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Blue Wave NE115T Neptune A-Frame Entry System for Above Ground Pool, Taupe - Swimline HydroTools Protective Pool Ladder Mat, Multi, One Size (87953) - Main Access Anchor - Universal Pool Weight for Above Ground Entry Systems, Steps and Ladders (One-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/7568991-neptune-a-frame-entry-system-for-above-ground-pools-taupe](https://www.desertcart.es/products/7568991-neptune-a-frame-entry-system-for-above-ground-pools-taupe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
