Abstract
A pool ladder anchor bracket is described for use with pools that have an automatic pool cover which prevents pool steps from being connected to the handrailing. The bracket allows the handrailing to be properly aligned to the steps without the need for careful measurement and construction. The bracket is installed on the back of the wall panel. The bracket can be aligned with the steps as it is secured to the back of the wall panel. The bracket included sockets into which the handrails are inserted. So long as the bracket is properly installed the handrails will be perfectly aligned with the pool steps.
