The plastics that are used for all Skamper-Ramps will not yellow, become scummy, grow barnacles, or mildew/algae when left in water (salt water, fresh water, pool water...) even 24/7/365. Skamper-Ramps always have been, and always will be, made completely from recyclable materials. Skamper-Ramps are lightweight with excellent strength-to-weight ratios (they can hold up to 200 lbs), snap-together assembly, and simple. The ramp braces to the vertical side of the pool, walled pond, stock tank / water trough to prevent unwanted wild animals from drowning as well as pets!
Ramp sizes are strong enough to hold 200 lbs (~90 kgs) on dry land, so no worry about size with water displacing the weight. Great for small and Medium pets.
Because all living beings see white, animals can see it—day or night—and, even if they can't use a step (ducklings, snakes, frogs, baby possums), they can "skamper" out of the water on the ramp by themselves!
The Super Skamper-Ramp was developed because so many customers asked for a solution that was easier to assemble, was even safer for vinyl-lined pools, would work for frequent use by most any sized animal including for very large pets, and could also be used on floating docks and even for some boats.
Weights and Measurements of the Skamper-Ramp Super: 4.3 lbs when assembled at 40” x 13” x 6.5”
Super Skamper-Ramp will not yellow, become scummy, grow barnacles, or mildew when left in water (salt water, fresh water, pool water...) becasue it is UV- and chemical-resistant. The Super Skamper-Ramp is lightweight with excellent strength-to-weight ratios, low-cost, and simple. It attaches to the deck of the pool, walled pond, stock tank or water trough to prevent unwanted wild animals from drowning as well as pets!
Because all living beings see white, animals can see it—day or night—and, even if they can't use a step (ducklings, snakes, baby possums), they can "skamper" out of the water on the ramp by themselves. Dogs are the only animals that have to be "trained" to the ramp...see our suggestions .
Applications
Super Skamper-Ramp is versatile enough for infrequent or frequent use by most any size animal in pools (commercial or private), walled ponds, reservoirs, most docks, many boats. It was designed for emergency escape--that is still its purpose--but it was also designed to hold larger animals and better protetct vinyl pools. It can be used with, or without, snapping in the extension.
Even in winter, leaving it hanging down insde a pool that is partially drained down, under a winter cover, or on top of a non-permeable cover, can prevent accidental animal drowning by giving them an escape route.
Attachment - We suggest attaching the ramp to the pool’s deck by bolting (if wood) or sinking an anchor (stone, poured, etc) to hold the stainless steel D-ring-clips and rope provided. The ramps have a knot tied as close to the ramp surface as possible in order to maintain its orientation and not slip along the rope.
The only additional part you will need and must purchase separately is the 1/4" stainless stell pan-head screw about 1.25" long (and concrete anchor) required for your pool deck surface.
Some people choose to use existing railings, pool cover anchors, or water leveler covers, rather than drilling into their deck. In this case, be sure the rope tie-downs are not spread much farther apart than the width of the ramp for optimal performance.
