This pool liner pad lays under an above-ground pool to protect the pool liner from punctures, tears and abrasion caused by sharp objects or rough ground. It is made from thickened black industrial-grade geotextile fibers, a blend of polyester, acrylic and cotton. The material is recyclable and blocks light.
The pad is water-permeable and non-slip, which helps prevent slips when exiting the pool. It also keeps the liner from rubbing against the floor and acts as a vapor barrier, helping protect the metal parts of steel-walled pools from water corrosion. It gives only light floor cushioning and is less cushioned than a sponge pad.
It comes precut as a round pad and can be trimmed to fit oval, irregular or other pool shapes. To install, lay a sand barrier, place the pad flat on top, and build the pool over it. To clean it, scrub with soap or rinse with a hose. Do not use bleach. Let it dry before storing.
