LL1224RE Aboveground Pool Liner Pad 12ft x 24ft - Durable Floor Mat

In this review of the LL1224RE Aboveground Pool Liner Pad the bottom line is simple: this pre-cut pad is for pool owners who want an easy-to-install protective layer that keeps sharp objects and uneven sand from shortening a vinyl liner's life. It is best for standard 12 ft x 24 ft rectangle aboveground pools where a ready-made pad saves time and effort. The reviewer found the polyester geotextile construction provides sensible protection and modest cushioning without the need to measure and cut, making installation less fussy than foam alternatives.

Key Features

• Pre-cut to fit: The pad arrives sized for a 12 ft x 24 ft rectangle so you can lay it down quickly without measuring or trimming.
• Polyster geotextile material: A durable fabric resists punctures from grass, roots, and small rocks to protect the vinyl liner beneath.
• Improves comfort: The extra layer reduces footprints and minor unevenness in a sand base for a smoother swim surface.
• Extends liner life: By blocking sharp objects and reducing abrasion, the pad helps delay the need to replace the pool liner.
• Simple installation: Because it is manufactured to common pool sizes, it eliminates the measuring, cutting, and taping required with foam pads.

Who It's For

The LL1224RE pool liner pad is aimed at owners of aboveground rectangular pools in the 12 ft x 24 ft size who prefer a ready-made solution and want to protect their vinyl liner without complex installation. It suits DIYers who will place the pad over a sand or leveled ground base and want a lightweight, rot-resistant fabric beneath the liner.

Those seeking thick foam-like cushioning, heavy-duty contractor-grade underlay, or a product intended for irregular custom fittings should look elsewhere. This pad is not marketed as heavy padding but as a protective geotextile layer that balances durability and easy handling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Pre-cut sizing saves installation time and removes the need to cut or tape the pad.
• Polyester geotextile construction provides sensible puncture resistance from roots and small rocks.
• Helps prevent footprints in sand bases and gives a more consistent swim surface.

Cons

• Some users note the material thickness is moderate and compare it to landscaping fabric rather than thick felt, so it is not plush padding.
