Features
- Ground Shield Protects Your Pool Liner: This 18-foot round, 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.

The installation was extremely easy, the quality of the product was good, and the price point was great. The quality was excellent to the description, the size was perfect, it seemed to be very durable. Make sure you wear shoes, it is extremely hot once it gets in the sunlight, but So far it’s been great, I’ll review the product again in 5 years when I replace the liner again.

I really like this Pool Liner Pad, it's not thick but it makes the bottom of the pool feel so much better. Very happy with purchase.

Easy to install and appears to be working. Was as described. Won’t know how it really holds up until later in the year after using it for the season. Was a fair price.

Size: 32' x 32' (Rectangular)
I installed the U.S. Pool Supply Ground Shield 16-Foot x 32-Foot Rectangular Pool Pad under my above-ground pool, and so far it has been a very useful layer of protection. The material helps create a barrier between the pool liner and the ground, which gives me more peace of mind against small rocks, roots, rough spots, and general wear underneath the pool. The size works well for a 16 x 32 pool, and it was easy to lay out before setting the pool in place. It also helped make the base look cleaner and more organized during installation. I still recommend preparing the ground properly first, removing sharp objects, leveling the area, and making sure the surface is smooth, because this pad is protection, not a replacement for proper ground prep. Overall, I’m satisfied with it. It adds an extra layer of safety for the liner and is worth having if you want to protect your investment.

Seems to be of good quality but unfortunately I won’t be using it due to a mouse destroying my pool liner and won’t have a pool.🤦♀️ Keeping it in case I can use it somehow elsewhere. 🤞

This was very easy to put down, true to size, very durable for our 18x10 pool. It definitely looks durable and worth the price. Gave us peace of mind having this under our pool. Unfortunately I didnt get a photo of it before putting the pool on top of it. Definitely get this to keep your pool safe from rips and tears!

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.

I ordered this “pad” for my 16‘ x 48“ Bestway pool. First of all, this “pad” is extremely thin and feels like regular felt.I had two other people help me unfold this when I was getting my pool set up for a pool party, and there were SEVERAL tears AND holes in this item already, despite ordering it brand new. Unfortunately, since I was having a pool party and the rest of my pool was mostly set up (the liner with the legs and supports) and I wasn’t able to find an item of this size at the last minute, I had to proceed with using it. I have very little faith in its durability due to its condition upon initial receipt. Please do yourself a favor and buy a better quality item from another seller.
