Made from dense felt material, it reduces abrasion from stones, roots, and debris while providing a soft, heat-resistant surface underfoot. The pad is easy to position and trim, and it doubles as a simple weed barrier and corrosion-reducing cushion under metal pool frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this pad protect my pool liner from punctures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe felt construction offers a thick, tack-resistant barrier that prevents sharp objects in the soil from contacting your vinyl liner.
