SWIMLINE | Frog Log Critter Escape Ramp for Pools and Spas | Single Ramp

I’ve had this installed for a little over a month now. Before getting it, I had already fished three frogs out of my pool within the first few weeks of owning the pool. I love frogs, so I really didn’t want to keep finding them stuck in the water. Since installing this, I haven’t found a single frog in the pool. The first one I received did have a small leak at one of the seams, so I had to replace it. The replacement has been perfect and hasn’t given me any problems. Obviously I can’t know exactly what happens when I’m not outside, but the difference has been pretty convincing based on my experience so far. Before installing it, frogs in the pool were already becoming a regular occurrence. More than a month later, I haven’t had to rescue another one. For something this simple, it’s doing exactly what I wanted it to do.

Update September, 2022 -- these held up REALLY WELL in all day, beating Florida sun. It's been about 4 years, it NEVER deflated at.all. One got a little ratty, but the other was just faded -- just ordered new ones. I would NOT order a knock-off of this product. Old Review: Good job on this one! I've owned many pool rescue devices -- this one is the BEST by FAR! I can't even imagine how they manufacture it for this price, but by all means, carry on! I bought one to check it out and bought another immediately. I'll probably buy a third (BIG pool). In my household, we're convinced this was designed by a wife who tired of the swimming pool death trap and harangued her handy husband into designing a better style.* It's super easy to set up and STURDY -- my pool-water-drinking-squirrels have been trying to get up the courage to use it as a drinking platform.** With other styles I've questioned how much weight it would actually hold... a frog yes, a baby bunny... doubt it. I think this one would.*** The best part of the design is it doesn't use too much mesh which traps little junk -- and the mesh part that goes from the water platform to the pool deck is firm with plastic supports you slip inside so the mesh isn't floppy the way it is with other styles -- huge improvement. Total winner -- I hope they make a million dollars on it. * We know theoretically the wife could have designed it, we just don't think that's how it happened. ** I can't help that they drink out of the pool, and no, that tiny bit of chlorine won't kill them. *** Just my opinion, worth about 2 cents.

Since putting these (2) in my pool, I haven't had to save a single frog and I have only fished out one body, probably due to a rain storm. Before I put these in my pool, I was saving or fishing out bodies daily.

UPDATE 7/20/2016 I have not had a dead frog in my pool since using this for a year. However, a Frog had babies and now there is 3 or 4 that live on this all day. I also bought the critter skimmer covers (i commented on it after someone asked in the comment section) and between this Froglog and the skimmer cover, Frogs hang out there all day. YES it saves them but it promotes frogs to hang out there all day and now every time i want to go in the pool the frogs get scared jump off the Frog Log or the skimmer cover and dive in the pool. I have to save the with a skimmer each time!! However, i still recommend this product :) ---------------------------------------- I was told about this product from a friend who was having the same issue i had. It works! Makes you feel better about giving frogs or others an option while stuck in the pool. I feel obligated to write these reviews since I read so many of you guys and it helps the decision process :) In my first summer with a pool, I have probably saved and/or retrieved 10+ alive or dead frogs from the pool so I NEEDED this. After a few weeks with it, still found a few dead ones but then miraculously one morning i saw a frog on one...so it works! However, few hours later I found that frog in the water scrambling and couldnt figure out how to get back on the float. I am going to attach a photo of the frog log frog next time I see that picture! PS - quick tip get the skimmer cover with the cyclone downward plastic that goes into your basket. I find many things in my 2 skimmers and that would be a big help to save the ones who arent in the water and cant be saved from the frog log!

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.

The sun and pool water destroys then over time (2 years), but in the 10+ years using them I've never had to pull out a dead critter. Used to be one casualty every month or two.

We bought this after we discovered that we had a family of frogs living in the flower bed by our pool and realized we *really* didn’t want to be fishing dead frogs out of the pool. The frogs absolutely love this thing. We find them lounging on it daily. They especially love to sun themselves on it after taking a dip in the pool. And best of all, no dead frogs!

This seems to work really well. Before we got it, we were finding a frog in our pool skimmer almost every day. Since setting it up next to the skimmer, we haven’t found a single one. It stays out of the way, doesn’t interfere with the skimmer, and was easy to set up. Simple idea, but apparently the frogs figured it out!

Saved lives of small animals

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.

Hilfreich für Insekten! Die Brücke zurück ins Leben. Langlebiges Material.

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.
