Seasense Rope Ladder

Facile placer

Muy bonita, compacta para lo que se necesita, excelentes terminados del plástico y la cuerda. Me encantó.

I purchased this to use as a removeable/temporary boarding ladder for my boat since there is no good place to permanently mount a traditional boarding ladder. 1) You cannot simply lay the top part of the rope over a cleat and climb the ladder as the photos show. Doing so will result in the rope slipping along the cleat until the steps of the ladder rotate from horizontal to vertical. Instead, take the top loop and tie it off the the cleat like you would a dock line - up through the space between the feet of the cleat and around the horns. This will keep it from slipping. For my use, I cut the top loop of the rope and installed stainless steel spring links on each end and then clip those off to a couple of tie down rings on the stern of the boat. This provides extra stability while climbing the rope. I also replaced the closest adjacent stern cleat on the boat with a very large 8" cleat that can be grasped like a grab bar. 2) The PVC pipe sections that keep the individual steps spaced properly are fairly thin. I don't know what the practical weight limit is on this ladder, but if you're a heavier person like me, it might be worth replacing them with regular schedule 40 PVC.I'm giving the product a 5 star review because it's a clever design at a decent price and will work well enough for most folks right out of the box.

Qualität sehr gut

You need to be able to get back into your boat so a safety ladder, ready for deployment is a critical item. This one is heavy duty, but compact and well made, easy to store and very good value compared with alternatives.
