FMOACEN Pool Ladder Weights 2-Pack, Universal HDPE Ballast Containers with 8 Adjustable Straps for Stable Steps

These two removable HDPE pool ladder weight containers stabilize above-ground or in-ground ladders by adding water or sand ballast and securing with adjustable straps.

FMOACEN's 2-piece ladder weight set is a practical accessory that reduces ladder wobble and keeps steps firmly planted in the pool. Each lightweight shell fills through a top opening and fastens to ladder rails with included Velcro straps, creating a tailored counterweight system that’s simple to install and remove for seasonal storage.

How do I install the ladder weights quickly?

Installation requires no tools: fill, cap, and strap. Unscrew the fill caps, pour in water or sand, secure the caps, then wrap and fasten the straps around the ladder rungs or frame. The whole setup can be completed in minutes by one person.

• Unscrew 0.59-inch top fill openings and add ballast (water, sand, or soil).
• Tighten caps to prevent leaks and keep contents sealed.
• Wrap the included Velcro straps around ladder rails and secure at desired height.
• Trim excess strap if necessary and store weights dry in winter.

What materials and dimensions should I expect?

The shells are molded from durable, waterproof HDPE to resist pool chemicals and UV exposure. Each weight measures 17.52 x 12.6 x 1.06 inches and carries about 5.95 pounds when empty; filling with sand greatly increases ballast for a firmer hold.

• Material: high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for lasting outdoor use.
• Dimensions: 17.52 x 12.6 x 1.06 inches per container.
• Top fill opening: approximately 0.59 inches for straightforward filling.
• Load capacity listed as about 5.95 pounds empty; fill content determines final weight.

Which filling option is best for my pool situation?

Choose water for convenience and easy seasonal removal; choose sand or soil when you need heavier, more permanent ballast. Water lets you quickly deploy or drain the weights, while sand gives maximum counterweight where movement is more likely.

• Water: fastest fill and easy winter emptying.
• Sand: highest stability for windy or high-traffic pools.
• Soil/gravel: alternative heavier fills when sand isn’t available.
• Ensure caps are tightened to avoid leakage with water fills.
