I am wondering if you need to put sand under the Gorilla floor padding? Or can this be just set on the level ground?
Reply
You can set up the Gorilla floor pad either way. Some of our customers will put a layer of sand down and then the Gorilla floor pad. However the manufacturer states that you do not have to put sand down first.

Can the Gorilla Floor Padding be installed under an expandable liner for a 24' round pool that expands up to 72" depth in the center?
Reply
The Gorilla Floor Padding is not designed to work in conjunction with the expandable liner.

I just purchased a 24' round above ground pool, should I get a liner a gorilla floor pad a little bigger to make sure edges are covered?

Hi, It's not necessary to get the padding in a larger size, however if doing that give you added security then you can.

Do you have to use foam cove with the Gorilla pad, or do you make a sand cove ? On top of it or under? We are replacing a 19 year old liner. Our pool is above ground 21' round, but is underground about 12-18" since installed. We lost our liner here in Buffalo, NY due to 5 ft of snow. Any suggestions?

Hello Loreen - You can use foam or sand with the Gorilla Pad. The cove would placed on top of the pad.

I know the Gorilla pad is made to go under the liner, but since my pool is ready can you put it on top of the liner.
Reply
The Gorilla Pad must go underneath the liner. The goal of the pad is to protect the liner from objects underneath.

Can the gorilla pad be used if you're putting your pool on a concrete slab

Todd, You can use the product but manufacturers do not recommend installing a pool on concrete. You may void the warranty.

Can you put sand on top of the gorilla pad when you are installing your above ground pool. So that your pool floor can be leveled.
Reply
You could but we would advise to put the sand under the padding.

why cant you install Gorilla floor padding on grass if it is cut very short and padded with a little sand
Reply
The manufacturer states: Gorilla Padding will not stop grass, we suggest Perfect Pool Bottom to stop grass.

we have a mole problem, they tunnel under the pool liner, and they leave a ditch under the pool liner. is your pool pad rigid enough to help to eliminate the ditch that they leave.
Reply
Negative,the pool pad is not rigid enough to maintain its form over a channel. It is only strong enough to prevent debris and sharp objects from coming up from underneath.

My pool is 16 x 26. The pads come 16 x 28. Can I leave the extra foot on each side and just place the track on it, or does it need to be cut to fit the exact diameter of the pool?
Reply
Hello Terri, You can cut the liner to fit just know that you would void all return warranty's by doing that. The pool has to sit on the ground. This pad would go in before the liner.

Hello again,
I was reading the Q & A for the gorilla liner and it states that it is not designed for an expandable liner. With that being said, what would you recommend?
Reply
Hi. Although the Gorilla floor padding is not designed to work with an expandable liner you can still use it. Installation would be different bt it can still protect the expandable portion of the liner.

will it hold the feet of pool on liner... what do u suggest. we have a 22 ft ordering the the 24 foot pad :) any infoe u might have will be appreciated. ty :)
Reply
For a 22' Pool we would suggest the 24' Liner pad and you can cut any of the material that overlaps past the pools edge.

will this liner stop the runs made by moles.
in 24 ft above ground pool
Reply
Clifford, This will not stop the runs made by moles. I would recommend contacting a pest control specialist before installing the pool or liner.
Reply
you stated that you do not recommend it being used on concrete... then might you suggest what I use... Thanks

Hi, Tammy. Your above ground pool should be placed or assembled on a green space in a section of your yard. This pad is used to then protect your liner.

Hello, we are being advised by our liner installer to NOT use the gorilla pad. Says it does not stay in place well as the liner is being "worked" & we will end up with the pad being wrinkled up under the liner in places. Your thoughts ?? If it does wrinkle up, is this a problem ?? Thank you
Reply
Hi, Bob. If installed properly, the pad should not create wrinkles. If wrinkles do occur, they can be smoothed out.
