How to Install Yeti Steps
Follow this guide to install Yeti Steps so they are safe and secure.
What you need:
- Tape measure and marker.
- Quality SDS hammer drill.
- 28mm SDS plus 4 cut drill bit.
- Mallet.
- (Optional) Epoxy resin.
Step 1.
Mark and drill hole positions as per step width above. Be careful to keep the drill perpendicular to the pit wall.
Pre-drill using a smaller SDS bit for increased accuracy.

Step 2.
Clean dust from hole before
proceeding to next Step*.
Step 3.
Use a mallet to tap the step into holes; alternate the ends of the step with each knock. Only hit steps at each end, not in the middle.

Step 4.
Once the stoppers on the legs of the Yeti steps come into contact with the wall the step is installed and ready to use.
* Yeti Steps have been factory tested to achieve a pull out resistance of up to 500kg with no epoxy. If the integrity of the concrete or holes is questionable or a higher pull out strength is required then Epoxy resin can be added at this stage to achieve up to 1,500kg pull out resistance.
