Review: Heavy duty, and fits under our "wedding cake" steps perfectly. - I just had our above ground pool liner replaced, and wanted to protect the investment by purchasing this mat (the large size) 45"x60" to go under our "wedding cake" stairs. This fit the bill perfectly. The mat is sized perfectly to protect the entire surface area of the liner under the steps. It's got a textured "ribbed" finish that isn't slippery, and it sinks well enough that I was able to get it in place myself. I did have my wife help slide it over a bit to get it perfectly centered under the steps. I feel better knowing my expensive pool liner is protected.
Review: Review copied from skimmer review but covers these mats. - I am ordering my unit as a replacement. This will be my pools 3rd year of operation. I have the 18’x48” easyset. Plastic round pool, no metal frame. I have the cartridge B/saltwater pump. The skimmer is a bit worn but not unserviceable. Several of the tiny plastic nubs are gone from the shell. The nubs hold the inner blue cylinder in the skinner frame. This skimmer does an awesome job of clearing debris, blowing dust, and bugs from the surface of the water. I have several improvements for operation. I built a deck and ordered a set of drop in stairs to attach to the deck. I ordered a set of Hydro Tools Swimline 87952 Vinyl Protective Swimming Pool Ladder Mats to place under the ladder. (not through desertcart). Notice I discuss these mats in the next paragraph. Mine are 87952 but on desertcart you have to order 87953. The only difference in 52 and 53 is the length. The length can be fixed with a pair of scissors. You cannot get 87952 on desertcart. One of the problems the Skimmer unit has is the tendency to float crooked. It also tends to crush the air tube runner around the top of the sidewall, which causes the skimmer to come out of the water. The air tube running around the top of the pool is not made of stiff enough plastic when you are trying to use it as a support mechanism. Two steps I have taken to solve these problems. I took one of the vinyl ladder mats out from under the ladder and laid it over the side of the pool. Then, I placed the “hook”, which holds the skimmer in place, over the vinyl protector. The results were amazing. The hook no longer crushes the air tube. It stays where you place it even with a bunch of highly active kids sloshing water out of the pool. The vinyl mat forms itself perfectly over the air tube. You can order Hydro Tools Protective Pool Ladder Mat 87953; look for the 3 sizes listed midway down. Select the 9” x 36” to get the right material. It’s the smooth black vinyl on the back and ribbed blue on the top(looks like it comes in a roll not a flat mat). You can trim the mat with a pair of scissors. Trim it down to about 30” or less and it will fit beautifully. Do not order the smaller sizes; they are a different mat made of different material. You could also try other materials like a thin vinyl car mat cut to fit. Maybe something like a thick floor mat; any soft flexible vinyl type material, ¼” thick material cut to fit. The next thing I did was center the skimmer over the hose outlet. I attached the hose. Notice the hose makes a bad U shape and it forces the top of the skimmer to tilt toward the side of the pool. The plastic hose is too stiff to bend easily. I took some plastic bailing string, about 20” and tied it around the hose near the top of the outlet. Then go around the hose close to the skimmer and back to the outlet end of the hose. Get a string long enough to make a couple loops. Pull the string around the outlet hose and SQUEEZE the two ends of the hose together. Tie it off. You end up with a sharp U shaped hose. Like a P trap in a drain. You might try a very large rubber band. This causes the skimmer to level itself in the pool. This along with the vinyl mat will perfect your setup and give you a problem free summer, in regards to your skimmer. I did not figure these improvements out until the second year. I believe these improvements will extend the life of my skimmer by holding it in place and reducing the amount of repositioning I kept repeating the first year. By the way, on the ladder mat 87953, there are a lot of negative comments about these mats. I have not any problems with these mats. They work beautifully under my stairs. (Blue Wave Easy Pool Step for Above Ground Swimming Pools). I also have the solar cover (Crystal Clear Solar Cover 15 ft. Round 16 Mil from solarcovers.com). I love this cover. It raises the pool temp on average 10 degrees above the outside temperature. Practically feels like a hot tub in mid summer. I live in texas and can swim most years until late October. I also ordered Vio Products 11000 Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Floating Thermometer. Piece of junk, the floating part works well enough, but forget about the wireless read out. Won’t connect or stay connected beyond 5 feet away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i glue to the bottom step so the mat stays in place.? what kind of adhesive should i use?  my mat will not stay in place.**
A: Mine wouldn’t stay in place.  I won’t be using it this year. All of my friends with pools and all the local pool shops have said use a shower mat

**Q: How do you get it to stay in place?**
A: It moves but only when I move it while vacuuming the pool. It stays in place otherwise. I do not use the ladder that came with my pool. I have a removable steps ladder that is a little more heavier. Intex no longer sells that ladder.

**Q: Can I just use a yoga mat instead?**
A: Not sure but I like this product.

**Q: What Height of these steps**
A: This is not a step or steps. This is a mat that goes under your steps thats protects the liner from getting rubbed back in forth while the stairs sit in the pool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ AS DESCRIBED
*by B***E on July 18, 2026*

It's a thick piece of vinyl that does what the listing says it does. I have an Intex above ground pool and purchased for the removable ladder. Bought the 24" and it was too small so I cut it in half because my ladder only has two sections that actually touch the liner. I remove the ladder when the pool is not in use and the mats tend to move around. So I usually have to put them in place after first getting in the pool. I could just use the skimmer and pole to do this first if needed. Overall I'm glad I purchased it. Only 4 stars because it seems expensive for what it is.
