U.S. Pool Supply Ground Shield 24-Foot Round Heavy Duty Pool Liner Pad for Above Ground Swimming Pools - Protects Pool Liner, Prevents Punctures, Weed Barrier, Eco-Friendly Fabric - Extends Liner Life

We replaced our liner in our 27 foot pool and we wanted a better foundation for the new liner than just the sand. Did some research and found this pad. This pad is thick, appears to be verry durable and very easy to install. We smoothed out the sand and laid this over it. We installed new liner and it worked perfectly. A definite plus to our pool liner foundation. A good value.

Normally, I would just set the pool on the cement. But this is a great product.This product was like very heavy felt, and I am sure that with a little TLC, it will last for years. It kind of stuck to the cement area I was covering, so I had to do some stretching and move the edges up and down to get some air under it as I positioned it. Very easy for one person but my wife helped me.I have a 12' round pool and I have 2"-4" of this showing around the whole pool. The posts are all sitting on the liner as well.Two very good things it provided.1) It will keep any little grains of sand or rock from loosening and causing a hole.2) It gave me a totally clean area to lay out the pool.I will definitely use it every year and feel much more comfortable about no holed in the bottom of the pool.Thanks for providing a great product.

Get two! Seems like strong material but “VERY “ thin. I just ordered a second one to lay before putting my liner down.

Good quality, doing its job, wish it was a little thicker for comfort, easy to use. We will see how long it lasts…

a high quality product I would recommend this. This would save you Poll's bottom from a good bit of ware and tare , hopefully extending the life of your poll . Mine has a sand base it sits on and this goes in-between my poll and the sand base so it helps to cousin our steps a little bit more as well as protect the poll's bottom from the grit of the sand

I was a little skeptical of this barrier pad upon ordering. However, upon placing it in on the pool floor it was of high quality and worked well as a barrier between the sand and the liner. Some reviews stated the underlayment was not thick enough. I disagree, the pad is thick enough for its intended purpose and easy to work with. Excellent product for its intended purpose!

Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have paid what I did for this pool mat. It’s supposed to be “extra thick” (says it multiple times on the listing) but it’s definitely not. It’s basically just a big piece of felt, and felt is generally thin and isn’t very easy to work with. We put it exactly where we wanted it and it took some time to smooth it out. We put our 15 x 48 Intex pool on it and the two didn't match up, which is really frustrating because some of the pad sticks out and some doesn’t. Can’t speak to longevity because I just installed it, but being that it’s essentially felt I’m concerned with the water that gets on it and whether or not it’s going to create a mold situation under the pool. Won’t know that until we take down the pool someday. Should have just stuck with the tarp that comes with the pool.

Very thick, exactly what I wanted.
