Review on πŸ§— SeaSense Rope Ladder: Enhanced SEO by Travis Rogers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor design poor workmanship

Ladder floats on the surface so it is very difficult to get it down with your feet and untangle it. I have previously made my own aluminum tube rope ladder which worked MUCH better than this one as it descended in a straight line. However, it wore out, so I bought this ladder rather than building a new one, thinking it would work just as well as my homemade ladder. These ladders have a steep learning curve for the inexperienced, and there's one technique to using them - they're easy. once you get the hang of it. In this respect, this ladder is no different from other rope/wire ladders, unlike a fixed steel ladder. The fact that it floats to the surface and you have to do some weird legwork in the curtain to unravel and smooth it out before you can get back up makes it a lot harder than it needs to be. I like wide steps, which are a bit more comfortable on the feet than narrow tubes. I also like solid extensions to support the weight rather than knots or sewn-in anchors like some other designs. Update: Stairs have been noticed to sag over time, but this is due to holes in the hollow rungs. So most of the time it's useless until at the end of the day it finally fills up with water, at which point it leaks a lot of water into your boat and/or vehicle and this lasts for several days. Also, the knots at the bottom of the ladder wear out after just two uses. It's a piece of junk. Making your own staircase is very easy and you will end up with a much better product.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
