Re: what gauge of liner and how to stop ants
I don't have an above ground pool, but I would recommend the heavier gauge liner.
From what I have read, when the ground is exposed, use a "queen killing" insecticide. Then a plastic tarp layer or two, followed by regular insulation foam board secured with gorilla tape, and a top layer of "gorilla pad" seems to have worked well for others with any issues.
Good luck! I loathe ants!
