Types of pool ladders and handrails

There are a variety of swimming pool ladders and handrails available in New Zealand, broadly categorised by their design, material, and specific use cases:

Standard in-ground pool ladders

Typically constructed from stainless steel, these ladders feature non-slip steps and are designed for durability. They are available in two, three, and four-step versions to accommodate different pool depths. 

Above-ground pool ladders

For homeowners with above-ground pools, above-ground ladders will be required with features like lift-up mechanisms to prevent unauthorised access. They can be made from stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic, ensuring both stability and longevity. 

Custom-made ladders and handrails

You’ll also find custom-made ladders and handrails, which are often the best options for those with bespoke or unique swimming pools. These can feature high-quality materials like marine-grade 316 stainless steel. 

Specialty handrails

These include grab rails, stair rails, and mobility handrails, each designed to assist with pool entry and exit, enhancing safety for all users. Options like the Artisan rail series offer elegant designs, while Figure 4 grab rails provide functional support. 

Integrated pool steps

Features like the Classic Cake Step entry system provide easy access to the pool and serve as a seating area. These steps are designed with slip-resistant treads and are UV-stabilised to withstand New Zealand's conditions. 

The advantages of high-quality pool ladders and handrails

High-quality pool ladders and handrails enhance a pool’s safety, durability, and convenience for all pool users. Constructed from robust materials like marine-grade stainless steel, these swimming pool accessories are designed to withstand the country's harsh UV exposure, high humidity, and chlorine-rich environments, ensuring longevity and reduced maintenance. Their ergonomic designs offer superior grip and stability, minimising the risk of slips or falls, especially for children, elderly individuals, or those with mobility challenges. Aesthetically designed ladders and handrails can also complement a pool's overall look, adding value and sophistication to outdoor spaces. Investing in high-quality pool ladders will offer both functional and visual benefits, making pool access safer and more enjoyable for all.

How to choose a pool ladder and handrail that’s right for you

When choosing pool ladders and handrails in New Zealand, consider the pool type (in-ground or above-ground) and the needs of those who will be using the pool to ensure safety and functionality. Prioritise high-quality materials like marine-grade stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic that can withstand the local climate, including high UV exposure and pool chemicals. Look for features like non-slip steps and ergonomic designs to enhance safety, especially for children and elderly users. Assess the ladder or handrail's compatibility with your pool’s design and depth for sizing and a secure fit. For pools with unique shapes, custom-made options should be considered for a tailored solution.

Other pool and spa accessories that you may need

If you’re building or equipping a new swimming pool, there are a few other accessories that you may need. Pool grates, for example, are an important feature of any pool, providing invaluable drainage that keeps pool surrounds dry and less slippery as a result. Stylistically, pool waterfalls and fountains work great as a decorative feature and add to the relaxing ambience with the sound of trickling water.
