WetSteps 6-Step Aluminum Ladder

WetSteps® 6-Step All-Aluminum Dock Ladder

Upgrade your waterfront experience with the “Stairway to the Water.”

Forget those narrow, vertical ladders that make getting out of the water a workout. The WetSteps 6-Step Boat Dock Ladder is designed with a unique, angled “staircase” design that makes entering and exiting the water as easy as walking up a flight of stairs.

Whether you have kids, older adults, or four-legged friends joining you for a swim, the 6-step model provides the extra depth needed for deep-water docks or varying lake levels.

Key Features

• Ergonomic Angled Design: The 55-degree angle eliminates the physical strain of vertical climbing, allowing you to walk into the water comfortably.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from high-quality, marine-grade aluminum that is lightweight yet incredibly durable. It won’t rust or corrode in freshwater or saltwater environments.

• Superior Stability: Features all-welded construction (no bolts to loosen over time) and a high weight capacity to ensure a rock-solid feel underfoot.

• Extra-Wide Steps: 20-inch wide, non-slip ribbed steps provide a secure footing for feet of all sizes.

• Flip-Up Functionality: Easily rotates 180 degrees out of the water when not in use to prevent algae growth and barnacle buildup.

Why Choose the 6-Step Model?

The 6-step configuration is our most popular choice for stationary docks and high-profile floating docks. It extends deeper into the water column than the standard 4-step, ensuring that even when the water level drops, you still have a safe and accessible way to get back to the dock.

Pro Tip: The 6-step ladder is the ideal choice for “Pet Parents.” The shallow angle and wide steps allow most dogs to climb out of the water unassisted!

Water Depth & Reach

WetSteps are designed to extend into the water at an angle. The following measurements represent the approximate distance from the mounting surface to the bottom step (note: the ladder is not designed to touch the bottom floor):

• Lightweight Construction: Made from high-quality aluminum, WetSteps are manageable to lift out of the water.
• Total Weight: Depending on size, ladders weigh approximately 30-40 lbs, making them significantly lighter than traditional steel or wooden alternatives.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum will never rust. While all metals oxidize, aluminum performs exceptionally well in water environments.
• Custom Protection: Powder coating is available to help protect and maintain the look of your ladder.

Maintenance and Storage

• Storage Recommendations: We recommend removing the ladder from the water when it is not in use. This prevents the growth of algae or barnacles.
• Safety & Cleanliness: Keeping the ladder out of the water prevents slippery build-up and protects the metal from discoloration.
• Wind Security: Every ladder includes a pin lock to hold it securely in place during heavy winds.
