Whether going into the water for a swim or getting on a boat, aluminum stairs are necessary for safely getting people on and off the shore and into or on the water. These stairs for lake access can include simple designs that provide a stable and safe foundation for getting in and out of the water. These stairs can even include designs where a few steps are in the water. You can reach us at REDD Team when looking for aluminum stairs that can install well in the water.
The best aluminum stairs will last for years while underwater, plus they will have designs where people can safely move up and down. The layout should also be easy to customize, as stairs for lake access can come in many forms and work for varying situations.
How Are These Stairs Designed?
Your aluminum stairs will feature a design where you can secure them on the ground with ease. The stairs will feature foundations on both ends, with one working on the surface and the other inside the water. We can custom-make your aluminum stairs based on how deep the foundations should go and what type of angle you’ll use when preparing your stairs. Our custom designs will ensure a layout that fits your specific space.
Your stairs can also include a few other features:
- Your stairs can include a 7-inch rise between steps. This rise is enough to help people move up and down without issue.
- A 30-degree angle is ideal for the lake stair steps, as it doesn’t require more effort for moving.
- There should be openings on each step to allow water to move through.
- The steps can be at least 30 inches wide, which is enough to support most people.
- Handrails are also necessary on the two sides. The rails should include at least two surfaces at different heights, including ones for people accessing the steps while in the water.
Is Aluminum a Good Material For Lake Stairs?
Aluminum is a safe compound for lake access stairs, as aluminum materials naturally feature an aluminum oxide coating that protects the foundation from further harm. The coating prevents rusting or corrosion, plus it does not trigger any reactions that might release hydrogen or other compounds.
The stability of aluminum makes it where you can install these stairs on various underwater surfaces. You can have a few stairs underwater to create a base where someone can climb in and out of the water.
Can Your Stairs Fit Over More Spaces?
You can install new aluminum stairs over many spots near the lake. You can get them added over sandy spots, rocky terrains, and other areas where the soil or ground quality could shift. Foundation pillars for the ends can stick in various deep surfaces and produce a steady layout that keeps the stairs in place without risking anything slipping or wearing.
