Skamper-Ramp

Animal Safety: From Dogs to Frogs!

Each year, in the U.S. alone, more than 50,000 family pets drown needlessly in swimming pools, along with millions of wild animals. Skamper-Ramp is a simple, inexpensive solution — even for fenced-in pools. From frogs to possums and cats to dogs of many sizes, you will avoid waking to the tragedy of a drowned pet or to the unpleasant floating surprise of an expired critter. It is the animal rescue device that will help protect pets and animal passersby from accidental drowning, day or night, whether any people are in the area or not.

How Skamper-Ramp Works

This simple white, recyclable, plastic ramp attaches to the side of the pool, walled pond/lake, most docks, and even many boats. Because all living beings see objects that reflect 550 nm-wavelength (white) light, animals can see it any time of day, and they "skamper" out on the ramp to safety.

Manufactured to Last

Skamper-Ramps are made from blowmolded polyethylene. Polyethylene is the material of choice.

• Light and robust — very high weight-to-strength ratio, meaning that it can hold a few magnitudes times its own weight
  Chemical-resistant, weather-resistant, and UV-resistant — for use in pools, oceans, lakes and withstands direct sunlight and freezing cold
• Unbreakable — flexes but doesn't break
  Feels good under animals' paws — easy to get pets accustomed to climbing on it
• Durable — lasts through many years of continuous use (only the deck attachment rope may need to be replaced sooner)
• Lightweight — easy for anyone to install and put into use
