Chaz, thanks so much for that update on the gorilla pad. In the nick of time.

I installed a pool yesterday where the customer had ordered a pad like that. I had the option of putting it above or below the sand. He bought it to protect the pool from gophers. It was a good heavy fabric but since it would not lay flat I opted to put it under the sand. I felt I could smooth the sand much better than the fabric. As for the gophers, I think it was an excellent idea.

I wasn’t sure if the Gorilla pad was fabric or foam. Foam pads do make a nice base for liners. I am not crazy about fabric. Just a little tough to get smooth.

Aranon, Once your wall is up of course, I would do the pad then the foam and then the coving and then that other good stuff.

It sounds to me like you have it well under control. I could be much more helpful if I had photos to work with. If of course you were to need it.

As for the liner, if it does not seem to fit correctly, there are work a rounds.

Later, Dennis
