VINYL WORKS CANADA manufactures this Step System to meet or exceed all current code requirements
for entry systems, in-pool steps, ladders and ladder enclosures (2008 pool season)
The Model 2008AF Step Entry System is manufactured using maintenance free resins to maintain
strength & color. Stainless hardware is used for years of worry free use
The system is designed for 300 lb capacity (one person). It is a stable entry system; ideal for every day
use and easier to climb as compared to a conventional a-frame pool ladder
The Step Entry System is packaged in one convenient carton (two if shipping by courier)
The Model 2008AF includes a full gate to meet requirements for enclosures. The gate is self-closing, self-
latching and lockable (lock not included)
The system utilizes double handrails for both the inpool and exterior portions for greater safety and ease
of entering & exiting the pool. Clearance between handrails is 20.25". The exterior portion of the unit is
entirely enclosed for protection when the pool is not in use
All treads measure 7.5" x 20". This makes the system very easy to climb when entering and exiting the
pool
The system is extremely easy to assemble, most of the components simply snap together
The top platform spans 12" deep x 20.25" wide (inside handrails) to protect the top rail of the pool and
allows for easy entry & exit of the pool. The top platform adjusts up & down to accommodate any pool
wall height from 47.5" minimum to 56.25" maximum
Minimum obstruction of swimming space ~ unit occupies only 22" within the pool (ideal for smaller pools)
Smoothly rounded base allows inpool portion of stair to be stable and not damage the pool liner. A ladder
or stair pad can be used for additional protection if desired (sold separately)
The in-pool portion of the system is designed to prevent entrapment while allowing great circulation of
the pool water (both through the side frames and through the tread risers)
All stair treads and top platform have been designed with a non-slip surface for safe use
The risers are embossed with no diving and no jumping signs for safety reminder. As well, the entry
contains all required safety signage (embossed directly into the gate at entry)
An optional in-pool light is available for use with this entry (Model OPT12V). The 12 volt light is packaged
and sold separately. It includes interchangeable colored lenses, a 10ft cable and UL listed transformer
The Model 2008AF Step Entry System can be used with our Pool Fence systems to totally enclose and
secure your pool. Both our 24" and 36" fencing will connect to the handrail uprights by using our
Connector Kits (Model CNKLS24 or CNKLS36 - sold separately)
Each unit includes explicit installation instructions and all necessary hardware for proper assembly.
