Details
New Gorilla Pad makes old foam floor padding obsolete. Unlike foam, which can be easily cut by grass, roots or rocks under your liner, Gorilla Padding is impervious to almost any sharp object. Gorilla Padding is a geo-textile that was developed to protect trash dump liners where any cut would be a catastrophe. Gorilla Padding is super tough, but also adds a layer of cushioning that will eliminate footprints from forming.
Gorilla Pad is cut to size and seamed for your pool. No more cutting and taping as with foam. Virtually eliminate vinyl liner bottom leaks with Gorilla Pad. Select the size that fits your pool. The Gorilla pad is about an 1/8" thick. It is similar to a piece of felt material
Why Use Gorilla Pad?
Above-ground pools should be placed on pool floor padding for two important reasons:
-
Installation of padding underneath the pool liner protects it from stones, roots, or other sharp debris that might cut the liner and cause a leak.
-
Padding beneath the liner also gives the floor of the pool some cushioning that is fun to swim in, and lengthens the life of the liner as well.
- Padding also lessens the occurrence of foot prints if sand is used beneath the liner.
Installing Gorilla Pad
Gorilla Pad® is designed to be installed easily in minutes. To save even more time, read all directions completely before beginning installation.
These instructions are for a new pool installation.
Step 1
Excavate the pool site as directed in your pool kit installation manual. Remove all rocks or other objects from the pool site that may damage the pool bottom. It may be necessary to use a tamping tool or sod roller to produce a smooth, firm, and level surface upon which to install the pool.
IMPORTANT: You must have prepared a firm, level surface before setting up your pool.
Step 2
After assembling the above ground pool and prior to installing the liner, lay Gorilla Pad down on the subsurface. Since Gorilla Pad is pre-cut and seamed, it should fit easily on the inside of your round or oval pool. If any of the pad is too long, cut off excess with a knife to ensure it lays on the bottom of the pool.
Step 3
For additional protection, install pool cove around the parameter of the inside wall of the pool. Follow instructions on the box.
