Surface-mount bases enable fast and easy installation of swimming pool ladders to concrete or wood decks with minimal damage to mounting surface. As Saftron ladders meet all pool building codes without a need for grounding, they can be installed with surface-mount bases in any location that provides a secure anchoring foundation. Only four 5/16" holes need to be drilled to secure each base. Bases are maintenance-free, unaffected by pool chemicals (chlorine, acid, salt) and available in the same 5 colors as Saftrons rails and ladders to give your patio a color-coordinated finish.
