When installing pond on lake liners, safety is always an issue for the landscape contractors. The Flexstep addressed these challenges with a rollaway stairway.

It's oilfield tested and engineer approved. Easy to install, it requires hand tools only. Flexstep is inherently safer because it does not rise above ground lowering potential falls.

Just place it where needed as it does not encroach upon existing equipment. Steps are individually adjustable to range of 20-50 degrees. The patented technology can be rolled up and transported. Non-penetrating and reusable, it's safe and less than the cost of a standard fabricated gangway.

Applications include lined pits, concrete slopes, dirt and rock embankments, oil and gas production, mining, water and sewer treatment facilities. Thousands have been installed at construction sites. Stairways come assembled. Anchoring system and stakes are provided. Call or email to discuss the lengths and configuration that you need. For more information go to www.theflexstop.com.
