A Great Water Escape Ramp for Pets and Other Critters
|
Every year in the U.S. alone tens of
thousands of family pets needlessly drowned in swimming pools and
walled ponds/lakes, along with countless millions of other creatures –
raccoons, possums, squirrels, frogs, chipmunks, mice, etc. The fact is
pools are perilous for pets.
|
Skamper-Ramp is an escape ramp: a means of preventing animals and pets from drowning in a water entrapment.

The ramps come complete with nylon rope,
nuts, bolts, washers, and wing strips - as well the two stainless steel d-ring
clips for anchoring. After 6 years of
research and in-pool testing we have found that the box-corrugated plastic has
the longest life-span, is most economical, is lightest weight while providing
the greatest strength-to-weight ratio along with robustness, is most reliable,
is most versatile to use, and is easiest to assemble.

Lightweight -- Durable -- Easy to Install and Use

For those who have customers that don’t want to
drill holes into their decks, it is possible to use alternative tie down
points such as pool cover attachment points, skimmers, railings and water
levelers. There are many creative ways to attach the ramp, you just want to
ensure that the ropes are not spread too far away from being parallel, that
the back and wings have a surface to rest snuggly against and that the force
is downward (diagonal vectors) so it does not pull purely horizontally (or it
will pull out.) Please remind them, however, that the knots may loosen when
tied around a wider bar and should be checked fairly frequently (depending on
the amount of use)
There is no one right way to
install a Skamper-Ramp.
However - two criteria
are critical: 1) a few inches of the round "nose" end need to be submerged so
that the white breaks the water surface so the animal will see the white while
swimming, even in stress; and 2) it needs to be snug to a "rigid" flat,
vertical wall so that when a critter or pet gets on the end the Skamper-Ramp
has something to brace against. It is the open-box-end and stabilizing
wing-strips that provide rigidity and robustness, especially when braced
against a vertical element, that make Skamper-Ramp work so effectively. The
most important point about the installation is to have the Skamper-Ramp as
snug to the pool edge/wall as possible, while still having a few inches of the
“nose” end of the ramp submerged. To accomplish that there are two sets of
holes for threading the connection rope through (one above the Skamper-Ramp
name and one below) in order to accommodate deep copings or flush edges.
