Features

  • Ground Shield Protects Your Pool Liner: This 12-foot x 24-foot rectangle, heavy-duty, extra-thick pool liner pad safeguards your above-ground pool liner from punctures, tears, abrasions, and rips caused by rocks, roots, glass, and other sharp objects. It extends the liner's lifespan and reduces the risk of damage and costly replacements. The pad also provides a thin layer of cushioning underfoot, making the pool more comfortable to walk on.
  • Extra-Thick Above-Ground Pool Pad: This durable, long-lasting pool liner pad is made of heavy-duty, extra-thick, 220-gram, non-woven geotextile fabric material that acts as an effective weed barrier, preventing weeds from growing through the pad and into your pool, keeping your pool water clean and free of debris.
  • Easy to Install: Simply place the pad on the level ground where your pool will be installed, ensuring it extends slightly beyond the pool's edge. Cut the pad to size with a utility knife for a custom fit around your pool. This pad is suitable for both soft-sided and hard-sided above-ground pools, ensuring an easier installation process for all pool types.
  • Extends Liner Life: This pad provides a smooth, protective layer between the pool liner and the ground, significantly reducing wear and tear on the liner, extending its lifespan, and saving you money in the long run.
  • U.S. Pool Supply's premium-quality Ground Shield pool liner pads are available in multiple sizes for round, oval, and rectangle-shaped pools. They can easily be trimmed to fit your needs. Buy with confidence. Ground Shield pool liner pads have a 2-year limited warranty for pool liner pad replacement.

  • You will lot regret this purchase
Size: 15ft Round
By far one of the BEST purchases I have made for my above ground pool. For the past 3 years we have tried half a dozen covers all of which are impossible to keep on the pool and the blue bubble solar covers break down in less than a season leaving little blue plastic circles throughout the pool…. Not this cover! This cover fits perfectly and has enough give to cover the inlet setup. It is well packaged and comes with cord and ground stakes for added security though I do not need them unless we are experiencing high winds. The fact that the cover comes so far down the outside of the pool, combined with the draw string, adjustable straps, and strap down loop holes I have had zero issues. I have mixed feelings about not having drain holes because it rains a lot where I live but the weight of the water on the top did not cause the cover to sink into the pool. Instead the water weight displaced water in the pool and I was able to easily drain it off using a simple siphon technique with a hose. The pool water I lost was still less than what I lose from evaporation. I am planning to buy a backup in case something happens to this one. ... show more

  • Great product, 12' pool fit and easy to use.
Size: 12ft Round
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. ... show more

  • Does the job.
Size: 15ft Round
This is essentially a thicker black felt pad. It’s easy to roll out and set up under our small above ground pool. We purchased it for our 14 foot pool, the 15 foot pad fits perfectly with a small amount of overlap. We set our pool up in brick pavers and are hoping this prevents the small tears in the bottom pool lining, which we experienced last year. So far, it seems to be working. There is a seam down the middle, which you feel when you’re in the pool, but it’s insignificant really. I don’t know if it’s reusable, because water does get under the pool. Possibly it can be rinsed and dried, once we take the pool down. ... show more

  • Use with discretion
Size: 15ft Round
I wanted this to prevent micro punctures I experienced with my last liner. I expect it will do well. However, I think this should be used on a new install, before the walls go up, as I was unable to get the pool liner and floor liner smooth.

  • Excellent for Barrier between Sand & Liner
Size: 27ft Round
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! ... show more

  • It’s ok, for half the price.
Size: 15ft Round
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. ... show more
