Hi. We are interested in this pool, but will need to set the pool on marine grade plywood with some sort of padding in between. Has anyone tried this?

Never tried. But FYI the bottom is sturdy like the walls. The entire area need be as smooth as possible. Don't forget level.

We used 2x6 plywood for the post and foam 8x10 sheets under. Nothing under it. It was very soft on the feet.

I bought the Gorilla pad. Its soft, for those who installed itnon concrete. If you are putting it on grass, I suggest you use a stronger tarp so nothing can get through and puncture your pool. The Gorilla pad will also work on grass. It sold on Amazon. I hope this helps

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

I would not attemp anything like that. It is definitely designed to be inserted between the vinyl liner and a stiff pool wall. I did, however, install a rhino pad on the floor of the pool and really like it. It would be a great base for an Intex style pool.

My husband bought this product to put under our above ground pool. The pool is on a concrete patio with rubber tile on the concrete, then the gorilla pad. We wanted something to kind of level out the bottom & protect the rubber lining of the pool. The pad is as thick as good grade felt, used for sewing, but is strong, ours does not tear. We do have a problem, we cut the pad about 3-4 inches larger than the pool & it is green with that slimy mold. We haven't tried to clean it so don't know if it will come clean. Otherwise we are satisfied with the Gorilla Pad.

None, if your ground is level. We set our pool right on the grass and it's perfect!

the pool is soft vinyl floor with hard sides. the sides stand up as it is filled with water. if you put the sand deep enough, it would most likely work

the lip of my pool is beveled so I called the company to ask if it would work. they were very pleasant and suggested a simple bracing to keep the unit level. I've had the product in the pool for almost a year now. I'm very satisfied with it. suggest you call the company about your specific issue.

I personally would not recommend setting this pool up on anything other a dirt service. Even with the water you would run the chance of tearing the pools up on concrete. Plus the impact of concrete has no give when the children slide down. The water depth is not sufficient to slide down with running the chance of some serious injuries. This is our sixth summer with our pools. Knock on wood we have never gotten any tears or holes. The daycare children love this pool, I highly recommend this pool but only on a dirt surface.

We did not end up using our kit like this one. We used a patch from a pool store with there glue that they recommended. It has worked great so far. There patch was thicker.

The sand only is placed on the floor of the pool, coming up to the cove. No sand on top or behind cove or it will not install properly.

Hmmmm !!!! Not sure the question makes sense to me BUT ,,,, lets try to address this ok on all poles at the end that goes into the water there are two small holes opposite one another ..... if this is NOT the case you have a problem with the POLE..... moving on .....on the OCEAN BLUE connection there are two plastic "bumps" you squezze these bumps inward and place the pole over these "bumps"and release the bumps when they line up with the holes on the pole therefor LOCKIONG the pole to the ocean blue. Hope this helps ... another thought is to take the ocen blue & the pole to your local pool supply place and let them solve your problem..... have a good day :-)

We out down sand but it really needs to be level. We even wet the sand down to get it settled and where we wanted it before putting the pool on the sand.

Hi, actually, no. My sisters pool is a pretty big above the ground pool, for a community pool that size, I think it would be very time consuming. Good luck.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

The only thing I can think of to try is Clear Gorilla Tape.. that stuff is strong.. I have used it for pool floats and it works

The landing is not cushioned. I would not use it inside the water splahes out when they hit the pool. Hope this helps
