SWIMLINE HYDROTOOLS Frog Log - Small Animal Saving Escape Ramp for Pools & Spas - Heavy Duty Material Pool Critter Escape Ramp - Reduces Maintenance - Blue

We had been recommended one of these when we first got a pool but I didn’t want to have something sitting on the side of the pool all the time that would have to be moved for vacuuming and skimming. We don’t get a huge amount of frogs/toads in our pool but usually after rain, my husband would have to rescue one or two. We were going to be out of town and since we don’t have a pool cover, I was worried about frogs dying in water that was more chlorinated than normal and rotting in the pool for 7 days. We came home to zero frogs in the pool and while I haven’t ever seen one use it, I have to assume we have the frog log to thank. We do still have to pull out some tiny frogs, but for the most part, our skimmer has stayed amphibian-free. We also have a Betta robotic skimmer and I was worried it was going to get caught up on the frog log, but so far it hasn’t been an issue. Now we only remove it from the pool when we are going to be swimming.

Works as it is supposed to!!!! I witnessed it saving a chipmunk this morning. If you love all animals, this is a must if you have a pool.

This is the second one I’ve bought. The first one lasted me 4 years before it fell apart. This product doesn’t look like much but it’s totally worth it and it really helps keep the critters out. If I accidentally don’t have it in the pool one night then I’ll find frogs in the water the next day.

Good quality, but sadly our frogs wouldn’t use it.

Works as it should, but more importantly, it is weather and sun resilient. The first one I bought lasted almost 5 years before I had to replace it. Unfortunately, I bought a cheaper knockoff to replace it that didn't even last a year before it deteriorated in the Arizona sun. I replaced the knockoff with an original Frog Log and expect it to last several years.

Significantly reduced the number of frogs in our pool. Wish I bought a two pack…one for the deep and for the shallow end.

I put this in my pool about three weeks ago and have not had to do any critter rescues nor have I had any fatalities, both of which usually occur about once a week. Today, in fact, I had a little guy just hanging out on it in the sun. He looked quite comfortable.

Be mindful of the two plastic straps used to stiffen the ramp from float to weight. Easy to toss away in the trash.

Brilliant. I am sure this has saved loads of frogs, because on the rare occasions I have forgotten to put it back in the pool often there was a frog in the pool the next morning. Mine has lasted for years although it has faded significantly over that time. Great product.

I'll update this review at the end of the summer but so far I haven't found any floaters, so it appears to be working! It really gives me peace of mind knowing they're there- i used to dread checking the pool every morning. I bought two of these. They are super easy to assemble and they are even better quality than I was expecting. Nice size and seems very durable and well made and designed. I'm very happy with my purchase. EDIT: Just wanted to update my review, and yes, I'm just as thrilled with this purchase as I was initially. It really does work! The summer is over, and I've not had a single critter drowning this summer! It's like a miracle. On two mornings it was flipped up (but still in the pool) and I assume it was a larger animal that escaped. We have tons of rabbits, squirrels and skunks in the area. I'm thinking a rabbit likely used it as a launch pad to jump out (with success) and it flipped the pad in the process. I only wish I'd found this product years ago. This is a no-brainer - every pool should have at least one. They've been in the pool day and night and they still look brand new. Awesome product!

J'ai acheté ce produit (bien celui en photo, le titre en anglais mentionnant des cartes est visiblement une erreur), car nous avons trouvé à 2 reprises des hérissons noyés dans le skimmer de la piscine, malgré mes tentatives pour boucher les accès à celle-ci. Cela fait 4 ans que j'ai installé le Frog Log, après discussion par FB avec l'entreprise US qui l'a créé, et qui m'a dit qu'à la base ce produit n'est pas prévu pour les hérissons (plus lourds que les grenouilles ou autres petites bêtes), mais qu'ils avaient eu des retours de clients qui avaient pu sauver des animaux de poids ou taille équivalent. J'ai en effet remplacé le petit sachet à remplir de sable (qui fait office de contrepoids, posé sur le bord de la piscine) par une grosse pierre beaucoup plus lourde. Depuis, pas de nouveau hérisson noyé, alors que j'en croise certains soirs danson jardin. :) Au bout de 4 ans à rester h24 dans la piscine (nous la mettons en hivernage l'hiver, sous abri), malgré l'eau chlorée et le soleil, le produit montre quelques signes d'usure mais est toujours opérationnel, donc je recommande fortement cet achat à tous les propriétaires de piscines enterrées. 🙂

No he vuelto a encontrar ningún animalito ahogado en la piscina, que era el objetivo. Los materiales parece que aguantan bien.
