Dog Pool Ladders by WaterDog Adventure Gear
WAG Boarding Steps™ by WaterDog Adventure Gear are dog pool ladders that allow you to include your dog in your backyard pool fun. Water-loving dogs shouldn’t have to be locked up while the rest of the family swims because there is no easy way for them to get back onto the deck. With our dog pool ladders, your pet gets to join in on the fun!
WaterDog Adventure Gear has developed a family of products designed to allow your dog to participate in your favorite family water activities, and the PM-6 and XPM-6 are ideally suited to give your pet access to your pool and the deck without assistance from the owner. With just a little training, your dog can climb in or out of the pool on its own.
The PM-6 and XPM-6 models are designed to mount on a flat platform or pool surround and cantilever into the water without struts. The XPM-6 provides extended pivot plates to go over an above ground pool lip that is not capable of bearing any load. Two pivot mounts are bolted through or into the platform, allowing the step assembly to pivot up out of the water and the step assembly can be easily removed, if desired. The 6-step assembly cantilevers off the platform at a 45 degree angle with the bottom step 24” below the platform it is mounted to. The 4″ deep, flat steps with integral toe plate and 4″ step height provides pet-friendly accessibility for dogs of various heights. The steps are designed to NOT touch the inside of the pool

WAG Boarding Steps™ Model PM-6 Dog Pool Ladder
Installation Requirements:
- WAG Boarding Steps Model PM-6 should be mounted in a relatively flat area at least 16-3/4″ wide (along water’s edge) and 10″ deep (back from the water’s edge).
- WAG Boarding Steps Model XPM-6 should be mounted in a relatively flat area at least 16-3/4″ wide (along water’s edge) and 18″ deep (back from the water’s edge).
- Approximately 44″ of clearance behind the pivot is required to use the pivot-out-of-water feature for Model PM-6 as shown in the pictures. Approximately 60″ is required for Model XPM-6. If clearance is not available, the steps can be easily removed from the pivot mounts when you do not want them in the water.
- The distance from the bottom of the pool to the mounting surface needs to be at least 28″ to prevent the dog pool ladder from touching the bottom of the pool. The steps will extend approximately 28″ into the pool from the water’s edge.
- Both models require four (4) mounting fasteners for the pivot mounts. We do not supply these because the deck substrate varies by customer (wood, plastic, concrete, aluminum, etc.).
WaterDog Adventure Gear dog pool ladders are proudly made in the U.S.A. and shipped partially assembled incorporating:
