Q:I have an above ground pool surrounded by a deck. I have steps for the pool, but it has no way of attaching them to the deck (like the picture of these steps). Are the arms shown in the picture designed to be screwed directly to the deck? I would like for my steps to be firmly attached.
A:Yes, the Royal Entrance Pool Step does indeed have the capability to attach to the decking that surrounds your above ground pool. It would require the acquisition of the ladder's attachment kit that would allow it to be firmly screwed into the decking.

Q:I am interested in your Royal Entrance Above Ground Pool steps. What type of material is attached to step to prevent child from getting behind step? Will the water and chemical treatment flow through this material?
A:The safety "fence" that attaches to the step is made of the same polymer as the step. Essentially, it's a high grade plastic from my understanding. The area behind the step will not be watertight, so water and chemicals will still be able to flow.
