An outdoor carpet for pool decks should be weather, mold and mildew resistant and able to stand up to any condition the outdoors brings, and this one does. It's made of high quality polypropylene fibers that are resistant to staining, fading and wear and tear.
Old carpet can be used to go under an Intex pool. Carpet is great to go under kiddie pools, Summer Waves and Bestway inflatable pools.
The carpeting installs quickly on a variety of clean, flat surfaces using carpet adhesive or double-sided tape. However, you cannot install indoor/outdoor carpeting directly on dirt because the adhesive won't harden on surfaces containing debris.
Sometimes we get asked about using carpet under a swimming pool liner. The answer here is to avoid it too. Carpet holds moisture and will stay soggy further promoting rust.
Although outdoor rugs are typically mold and mildew resistant, the dirt and moisture that accumulates on them is where these pesky fungi can grow. When cleaning an outdoor rug with mildew, dirt, stains and general grime, some common household items that people reach for include dish soap, white vinegar and baking soda.
Outdoor rugs are designed to be outside all year round and can withstand sun, rain, sleet, and snow.
Outdoor rugs are not often waterproof. But they are water resistant. Simply put, they absorb less water than most indoor rugs, and they dry a lot quicker after getting wet. Thanks to these characteristics outdoor rugs can be left outside and stay outside even in the rain.
Aside from the pool liner, you should have something like Armor Shield or Gorilla Pad and a pool cove, as well, to avoid punctures. Using sand or soil over concrete is not advisable as it can be washed off. When the floor protective layer and pool cove is all set, follow the regular pool installation steps.
Durability: Outdoor carpet is one of the toughest materials out there. It's built to handle the elements and high traffic. It's water-resistant, mold and mildew resistant, and UV stable.
You can put an outdoor rug on a concrete patio without damaging either the rug or the concrete, provided you seal the concrete first and fix the rug down with flooring tape or adhesive. Patio rugs are usually made of polypropylene so are water, mold, mildew, and UV resistant.
Yes and no. Most outdoor rugs made of synthetic fibers or polypropylene are perfect for outdoor conditions and will keep your deck in good shape. However, using other outdoor carpet materials can gradually damage your deck and patio. The bottom line is: always go for the best outdoor rugs for wood decks.

A popular stabilizing option for above ground pools is poured concrete. They last a very long time and are completely flat and very durable. However, they can be pretty rough on softer materials and wear out the pool liner over time. So I recommend placing another layer in between the pool and the concrete.
Sand is the recommended base material upon which an aboveground pool should sit. Sand is used under an aboveground pool to protect the pool's vinyl liner from rocks and objects that could tear the liner. Also, sand under an aboveground pool acts as cushioning for its floor, making it more comfortable for feet.
It's costly to buy enough plywood to place directly beneath the entire pool. You also create the risk of a wood splinter puncturing the pool liner. Instead, measure the size of the pool's leg supports and cut plywood pieces that can sit directly under the legs.
Where a level concrete surface is a good choice for an above ground, inflatable, kiddie, or other outdoor swimming pool, it is also rough and could damage the pool over time. An under pool mat will help protect the pool and provide for a safe and secure foundation on which the pool will sit.
What To Put Under An Inflatable Pool. Smaller inflatable pools will do fine with just a tarp underneath them, or nothing at all if on flat grass free of debris. But larger inflatable pools, or pools set up on concrete should have a ground cloth or a pool floor liner pad to protect the pool from damage.
Yes you DO want pavers under your legs. That will keep them from sinking. The pavers need to be level with the ground so they do not poke your liner. The ground prep is a lot of work BUT it will pay off in the end!
Placing just any outdoor rug material may end up damaging your wood deck in several ways. It can stain, rot, cause mold or mildew growth and scratches to your wood deck which is costly to replace.
If your rug is outside in rain or heavy dew, make sure to flip it so it can dry both front and back. When the outdoor entertaining season is through, make sure your rug is dry. Then roll it up and store in a covered area to avoid fading.
If your outdoor rug gets wet, it will most likely mildew and create unhealthy conditions which could potentially cause a mold to grow. Your outdoor rug can also be ruined by mildew which would then call for a replacement.
They can certainly handle some moisture and even a rain shower, but remember that all natural fiber rugs, when exposed to moisture, are prone to mildew. Mildew will eventually cause the rug to discolor, smell bad and decompose.
