As I have gotten older, I was finding it difficult to feel safe getting in and out of the pool. Because of that I was avoiding going in the pool, not really thinking about a solution. When I had a moment to think about it and was browsing on Amazon I came across these rails and it suddenly struck me that these would work to help me get in and out of the pool. I was able to find someone to install them for me and it’s a game changer getting in and out of the pool safely. If you’re finding you have any type of issue in getting in or out of the pool, I would definitely recommend something like these. I like the style of these rails more than some of the other ones that are like a solid loop. These just have a better appearance to them. The wraps that came with these were too long, but I found it easy enough to cut them with a pair of scissors to the right length and they work well. If the rails are getting direct sun on a hot day, the rails are definitely a necessity.
