GORILLA Bottom Floor Padding - 16' x 32' Rect. + FREE SHIPPING

SUPER-STRONG FLOOR PAD PROTECTS LINERS FROM ROCKS, ROOTS, AND GLASS!

• Gorilla Pad is high-quality floor padding that protects the bottom of your swimming pool liner.
• While Gorilla Pad looks like felt material, it effectively stops glass, grass, and rocks from coming up into your liner. Simply lay Gorilla Floor Pad over your sand base. The result? Any cuts, gouges, and punctures in your pool liner are readily prevented.
• Gorilla Pad virtually eliminates vinyl liner bottom leaks.
• Gorilla Pad adds an extra layer of cushioning under your pool liner, and a little extra peace of mind.

Why Use Gorilla Pad?
Above-ground pools should be placed on pool floor padding for two important reasons:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Technical Advantages of Blue Wave Gorilla Pad™
Gorilla Pad essentially makes old foam floor padding obsolete. Unlike foam—which is easily cut by grass, roots, or rocks under the pool liner—Gorilla Pad is 1/8-inch thick and impervious to almost any sharp object. That's because Gorilla Pad is a nonwoven polyester geotextile that was developed to protect trash dump liners—where any cut or gash could be catastrophic. Gorilla Pad is almost as puncture-proof as it is thick. But while Gorilla Pad is super tough, it also adds a layer of cushioning under the pool liner, effectively eliminating footprints from forming. Gorilla Pad is cut to size and seamed for your pool. That means no more cutting and taping as commonly performed with foam. Gorilla Pad virtually eliminates vinyl liner bottom leaks.

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.
