When we decided on a sundeck trawler there was one area that we knew we would have to find a solution for is the height of the sundeck to the swim platform. This is not only a problem for us but getting the dogs on and off. Mer Soleil came with the typical monkey ladder. Although Harley the Lab would jump off the sundeck into the water, about a 6 ft drop. The hard part was getting a wet 70 lb dog up a monkey ladder.
We made a custom set of steps to take us up the level of the sundeck. we kept the treads wide so the dogs could make it up on there own. They turned out great and work fantastic, for us and the dogs. We had them powder coated white to make them less industrial looking and provide a maintenance free finnish.
If any one wants to know how to make these send us an email. Cost about $750.
Not having to haul the dogs up the ladder...priceless.
