I know it is hard to see from the pic... If you look over toward the
pool stairs, you can see that there are 2 stairs on the wood decking
there.

As far as it being a PIA to setup and store... I have the room to
store it if I did some sort of remoable deck so long as the sections
were less than say... 4 feet. Each section would be heavy and a pain
to put of and take off, but I would only be doing this once a year
with lots of help.

Thanks for the resonses though. I will keep plugging away for ideas.
