Ground Shield 21-Foot Round Pool Liner Pad | U.S. Pool Supply

Protective Underlayment for Above-Ground Pools

Guard your pool liner with Ground Shield, a 21-foot round pad designed to sit beneath the liner and cushion against rocks, roots, glass, and other sharp objects. By creating a gentle buffer between the ground and the liner, it helps reduce wear and the risk of punctures, while offering a soft, walkable surface along the pool edge for a more comfortable experience.

Why this pad stands out

Built from heavy‑duty, extra‑thick fabric, Ground Shield combines durability with practicality. Its 220‑gram non-woven geotextile material doubles as a weed barrier, helping keep weeds from growing up under the liner and into the pool area. The result is cleaner water inside the pool and less debris around the edge, all without compromising pool comfort.

• Puncture and abrasion protection to help extend liner life and prevent costly replacements.
• Weed barrier function with a robust, non-woven fabric that discourages unwanted growth beneath the liner.
• Soft underfoot feel for a more enjoyable walk-around experience and safer entry/exit paths.

Key features and benefits

• 21-foot round pad size designed for most above-ground pools and easy trimming for a precise fit.
• Extra-thick construction with durable 220-gram geotextile fabric for long-lasting protection.
• Clear separation between ground and liner to minimize wear and tear over time.
• Effective weed barrier keeps hard-to-see roots and debris from impacting water quality.

Easy installation and real-life use

Prep the level ground, lay the pad so it slightly extends beyond the pool edge, and trim to fit around curves. The pad’s texture and size make it a practical solution for families using soft-sided or rigid-wall pools alike, helping to keep the area clean and the liner protected during seasonal use.

• Trim with a utility knife for a quick, tidy fit around your pool perimeter.
• Place on well-leveled ground to maximize protection and minimize shifting.

Choose Ground Shield to reduce the risk of damage and to prolong the life of your pool liner, while maintaining a comfortable surface to walk on and enjoy the pool season. It’s a practical upgrade that complements regular maintenance and routine care.
