    Default 1" or 1.5" Foam?

    Hey -

    I'm putting up a 15x30 AGP and was wondering does it matter 1.5 or 1" foam underneath?

    It makes a difference on price 480 vs 320.

    I think the compressive strength properties remain the same.

    I doubt it really matters but I'll ask our resident pool installer -- Waste aka Ted --- to offer an opinion for you./

    Hi, sorry but I can't provide any useful info on this topic - I've never used bottom foam on an AG pool.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
