I didn’t used it. I returned it. The pool that I bought was broken. So it wasn’t necessary the ground protection.

Easy to install

Easy to use, just lay it down on the ground before you set up the pool! I had the grandkids walk over it to see if there were any bumps (rocks, etc..) the cloth made it easier to find items.

Ground Cloth

We purchased this ground cloth in additional to the provided cloth in case it was needed. We used it although we probably didn’t need it for the 30’ pool we bought. It’s plenty large enough for ours and it did help with it’s larger dimension for filtering out most of the grass and dirt from being dragged into the pool on your feet (without a “pre-wash” bath).

Ground Cloth keeps it clean under the pool.

This keeps the bottom of the pool nice so it doesn't get all cruddy from the ground like when it rains and water gets around it. This is not considered a padding for under the pool. We clear away any debris that could poke through the liner bottom and put a nice soft layer of leveling sand underneath to protect the pool so it sets up nicely. Then we level the poles, and then fill the pool.

It is nothing special, too large

It's a tarp. A 15 or 16 foot tarp. I waited weeks for this "pool ground cover". It is nothing special. Just a huge tarp. I have a 10 ft pool, thought it was some kind of special fancy ground cover specific to my sized and/or next up pool, I should have read ALL info before purchase as to the size of it. It's not especially thick either. If I'd known it was just a tarp, I could've purchased a much better tarp instead of waiting weeks for this "ground cover" to arrive.

Meh...Normal tarp might do the same job for less money

It does do it's intended job. I thought it was going to be thicker than a normal tarp you can buy for 1/4 the price. It didn't seem all that different. Maybe I'm missing something. I felt like I could have saved money and had the same quality with a "normal" tarp.

Pool Ground cloth

Really helps to have something under your pool. Even helps keep the grass away and out of the water. Easy grass clean up. Not up against the wall of pool. No fear of weedeating a hole n it. I really recommend using one

Ripped before I even put it under the pool

I bought this yesterday. It immediately ripped down the middle, where, for some crazy reason, it has a seam. It is exactly as thick as the Dollar Tree table cloth I put under my easel when I paint, but cost 14.99 more. Since it is so thin, it doesn’t pat flat on the ground around the pool. However, the pool is on top of it now, so I can’t take it back. It does cover the ground, though.

SHREDS WHEN EXPOSED TO SUN

If made of a better material, it would be a good purchase.Shreds when exposed to sun.Plan on only one season, or less.Wrote to INTEX; they don't even respond.

Summer fun

Best purchase ever! Easy to assemble. The filter works great. It’s worth the price. It took me one hour to assemble because I was doing it alone and it took 3 hours to fill. It is 10’ x 30” perfect height for my little ones.
