Hey guys where is the best place to buy hardware for swim ladders? I want a swim ladder before summer, but i was thinking of making my own, a touch bigger so my four legged friend can get in and out. I taught my lab how to climb up the swim ladder on our dock at the lake, so now i need one on the boat!! Thanks

West Marine has a pretty good selection of stainless steel hardware (i.e. nuts and bolts), but it is pricey. Lowes and Home Depot also have stainless stuff in their specialty fastener section. I do not know where you can get aluminum or stainless tubing for the ladder frame.

as said above you can get all the bolts at Lowes, HD, any hardware store.
As fortubing I seen a lot of light stuff at the same places, but to get the good studd, my West Marine it right in the store.

Don't forget the pictures!!:pic:
