GLI 70-0015RD-BLK-160 Round Armor Shield Floor Pad, 15-Feet

I read the reviews for products and ones like it so I was already aware that it wasn't very thick. That seems to be a common complaint so save yourself some hassle and skip ordering this if that's important to you. Having said that, I agree with other reviewers that it otherwise meets the promises made:1) It's strong, enough to protect the pool liner from woody weeds, rocks, and missed nut shells (we have a lot of nut trees nearby).2) It's cut to fit our pool, with little excess.3) The inside of the liner feels a little softer when walking in the filled pool, unexpected for such a thin felt.There are other liners out there. We ultimately decided on this one because it was less expensive and black. I'm glad we made this purchase. I'm adding some photos so you can get an idea what it looked like as it arrived in the package from Amazon, unfolded, and the instructions for use.Update - 3 months later (August): I'm so glad we bought this. It has made a real difference in how the pool floor feels. I'll be interested to see how well it looks when the pool is taken down in a few months but so far the edges don't show any signs of deterioration.

I have read mixed reviews saying that this pad makes the bottom of a pool feel padded and some say you can still feel everything underneath because it is so thin. I have a textured patio which is pretty much really sharp and pointy rocks in the cement. This product is thin BUT.... Once I placed it under my pool it actually did pad the bottom

I bought two of these to place under my Intex pool on top of the tarp. I was going to lay down peat moss before setting up my pool so it would have a soft feel to your feet in the pool, but someone suggested this style of pad. I read the reviews and based on the comments on the thickness of the pad I ordered two and doubled up on the layer. Feels great when in the pool and only sticks out a little under the edge of the pool. I strongly recommend this pad.

Easy to lay out. Easy to handle. Very durable. Cleans up well and folds easily for storage

This is awesome!! As said before it is thin but the difference is noticeable. Pool bottom is more cushy than without and it does prevent sharp things from cutting the liner. It made it super easy to spread liner flat when setting up with this underneath because it's more slick than just dirt or sand. Easy to get those small creases out and have the bottom nice and smooth. We missed a few stems upon set up so it was easy to stick my hand under the liner pad and dirt to grab the objects and pull them out even with a few inches of water in the pool. We could then flatten it out again. Very forgiving. So far no grass has grown through it but not biggie to spray some weed killer if it does. Very happy with product!

It works well as an underlayment and allowed us to see where the pool would be to make adjustments!

Very simple installation and does the job. Keeps the pool warm too!

Ordered this pad for our above ground pool to prevent anything from protruding through the liner, and thus far it has worked well! It was easy to install and has been in place approximately two months. Should we ensure any problem(s), I will edit this review.
