Aqua Stairs Dock Ladder

Aqua-Stairs Boat and Dock Dog Ladders offer a bold new dock and boat stair design, great for dogs and their owners! The Aqua-Stairs are constructed with an offset staircase design, making entry and exit from the water much easier than using a standard swim ladder, particularly for dogs, children and senior citizens. This quality fabricated aluminum dog water ladder will hold up to 500 lbs when mounted securely and properly to the dock, pier or boat structure and can flip up and out of the water while not in use. (Unlike many other thin-walled aluminum marine ladders, the body is sturdy and fully welded for superior performance and weight bearing.)

Aqua-Stairs provide deep, roomy steps (8″ deep by 16″ wide) for safer, more comfortable pet (and people!) footing. The Aqua Stairs dog ladder steps are made of textured plate aluminum to prevent slipping and are rolled at the front to eliminate sharp edges. The approx. 35 degree incline allows people and pets to actually stand or sit on these stairs.

Aluminum Aqua-Stairs Dock Dog stairs are ideal for floating or fixed docks, piers, seawalls, boat swim platforms, pool decks or any surface with a 90 degree angle. All of our aluminum dock ladders and boat ladders all have a limited lifetime warranty. Click the Product Specs tab for size selection guidance.

(NOTE: All shipping charges are actual rates. UPS began imposing a shipping surcharge on the longer 5 and 6-step ladders in early December which was supposed to be a temporary holiday increase effective until mid-January.  To date, however, they have slightly decreased but not removed it and offer no comment as to when/if they will.  We continue our efforts to reduce the rates and will update the site immediately with any changes.)

Aqua-Stairs® are fabricated from marine grade schedule 40 aluminum. Ladder bodies & treads are fully welded and solid ~ no stair bolts that can loosen over time.  Limited lifetime warranty.   

To Determine Appropriate Size:

Measure the vertical distance from your mounting surface to the waterline. Be sure to allow for seasonal or tidal variations where appropriate. (For shallow water, you can make allowance for being able to stand on the bottom and size with bottom step either sitting on bottom, or up to 12″ above.)

3 Step Aqua-Stairs - Maximum mounting surface to waterline distance - 12″. Length of unit from deck to bottom step is 36″. Top hand rail is 15″ high from the deck. Unit weighs 31 lbs.

4 Step Aqua-Stairs - Maximum mounting surface to waterline distance - 24″. Length of unit from deck to bottom step is 48″. Top hand rail is 15″ high from the deck. Unit weight 36 lbs.

5 Step Aqua-Stairs - Maximum mounting surface to waterline distance - 36″. Length of unit from deck to bottom step is 60″. Top hand rail is 15″ high from the deck. Unit weight 41 lbs.

Vertical Height between each step is 12″. Horizontal extension for each step is approx. 12″. (Example: A 3-step would go down 3 ft and out 3 ft; a 4-step would go down 4 ft and out 4 ft.)

The dock ladders have approximately a 35-degree angle. This allows people and pets to actually stand or sit on these stairs.
