Hi Everyone,
In this video, I'm going to show you how to build a pool steps for your above ground pool using cinder blocks and 4x6 lumber in 2 simple steps (just cut the lumber and stack the cinder blocks)
I'm building a 3-step for me and my family to get on the pool deck easily, but if you want to build it the entire way up to the pool like some of the examples I showed in the video you would need to build it up to a 5-step.
All we are doing is cut the Lumber for the steps and everything is just stacked on so you wont need much tools.
You can use a variety of materials but if you want to build it the way I did it, then check out the material list below.
Material List (3-steps)
12 (8X8x16) Standard Cored Concrete Blocks From Lowes
3 (4X6X8) Douglas Fir Lumber - Each cut in half
Material List (5-steps)
30 (8X8X16) Standard Cored Concrete Blocks From Lowes
5 (4X6X8) Douglas Fir Lumber - Each cut in half
The stairs felt very solid, did not move at all when walking up and down but for a more permanent install you can add concrete glue
Hope you guys enjoy the video

Omg thank you so much for this video 🙏🏿👏🏾🙌🏿🥰 I have an above ground pool an intex and I’m a big woman and that little ladder 🪜 won’t do nothing for me 🤦🏿‍♀️ so I’m online shopping for pool ladders and their extremely expensive and the reviews aren’t good. I’ve been on here looking for a easy to understand diy and yours by far is the most simple and makes the most sense. Thanks again 🙏🏿

Awesome. I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for watching 😃

@marknbeckutube 2 года назад

We are having the same issue. Did you build these steps for your pool?

@dawnhansen1200 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the excellent video. With your instructions and supply list, my son and I were successful. 😊. Our steps are in. We are ready for the pool season.

@don_wynn 4 месяца назад

Awesome. How difficult was it for you? Was it pretty simple?

@ericaca88 Год назад

This is exactly what I had in mind!!!!

@TWIXXYT27 4 месяца назад

I did one for my aboveground pool and I attached ladder to the top step so it's a ladder that goes in the pool and I painted the outside wood and added solar lights on the side and looks incredible.

@queeneywarren9474 Год назад

That is great what about the inside pool I cannot use the ladder because it is too small any suggestions

@ViHopkins Год назад

Thanks for the idea! We need six steps and I can figure our materials from your five step list. Do you think making them 3 feet wide instead of 4 will be ok? Also, we don't have a deck so this will for direct access to the pool.

@plkb9541 4 месяца назад

Hello!! And same. These steps will be direct access onto a drop-in set of steps inside our pool. Did you finish yours? How did they turn out? Our pool stands right around 50" and the walls are 48". We're about to get started this weekend and trying to make sure we have everything ready!!

@cacrgeorge Год назад

So this works great for an intex above ground pool instead of that ladder it comes with?

@djkilpatrick5256 Год назад

What keeps the cinder blocks from shifting?

@jimlahey4056 4 месяца назад

Stupid and dangerous just build it out of wood.

@jillgiffin2682 2 года назад

Thanks for the idea! Do you have a material list somewhere?

@lolah42 Год назад

I really like this idea, but my concern is someone or something, having easy access to get into the pool. Right now I have a wooden ladder( not the pool ladder) on hinges that are connected to the deck. The ladder is then raised up when the pool is not in use. We have taken the pool ladder apart and used each side to attach to the inside of the pool. One of these is placed from the deck side, and another across to the other side. This is just a precaution as something easy to grab onto, when swimming ,if needed. Our pool is 24' x 52". Should an accident happen (and hopefully it never will!) if there is an easy access to your pool, (even on your property) you could be held legally responsible. Just a thought.

Great job, Don, I will try this for my pool.

@don_wynn 2 года назад

Sounds good. Let us know how it turned out

@Jack-Surreal_Panes 2 года назад

love using the 4x and cinder blocks. I had to tear down my deck and try to reuse it now that I have an intex 52'. My steel wall was 52' but the intex sits way higher. Stairs get trashed over time and a pain to rebuild. Since I have old 4x4 sections, and 2x why not use these as stairs like you did. Cinder blocks are like $2.58 and 8' step up is comfortable and step width is nice too.

@jefffrank8072 Год назад

What keeps the cinderblocks from rocking? I have an Intex 52 as well. I am five blocks high with the sixth one sideways for the 4x4 and it rocks left to right

@feelosophy1921 3 месяца назад

Nice and easy. Looks a little dangerous with nothing securing the cinder blocks together but I'm going to use this as inspiration for sure.

@don_wynn 3 месяца назад

Hi yeah, it’s heard liquid nail works great with concrete

@darkzq Месяц назад

Another option is to remove the wood planks in the winter entirely, to keep the wood from being damaged. It has an industrial look to it, but I’d be tempted to spray paint the bricks a soft white.

@don_wynn Месяц назад

@@darkzq great idea

@R2Bloodhounds Год назад

What happens if someone puts pressure on it from the side? I would be worried it will fall from the dogs

@queeneywarren9474 Год назад

Would just be big enough for a 300-pound person

What is the size of your pool? I'm trying to determine how many steps I'll need for a 52 inch wall.

Did you end up building it? How many steps did you go with ?

@jamesfinnegan3154 Год назад

@@borryx401 No not yet. My pool had to be taken down and rebuilt as it wasn't straight. I just got it back up and now I need to decide what to do about the stairs. When I measured it would take 6 cinder blocks high at the highest point.

@borryx401 Год назад

@@jamesfinnegan3154 oh no that sucks! I’m hoping to pick the stuff up this upcoming week, I’ll let you know how it goes.. and same I’m going to skip the first step and put a higher one at the end to come up another 8 inches as my pool walls are 54”.

@don_wynn 4 месяца назад

Hi, check out the video at 1:03 it shows a 5 step and integrated the stairs in the middle…it depends on how tall your pool is.
