I'm planning to put an Intex Ultra Frame pool onto blocks of pressure treated wood like they suggest (see image).
I'm going to put down a 12'x24' but since that has the direct dimensions of the bottom of the pool I'm assuming that this will just cover the space between the blocks, not the blocks themselves. Do I need to do something to protect the liner from the block's edges? I know that a lot of people lay down styrofoam but the kind of styrofoam (XPS) that people use is incredible expensive out here and not an option, unfortunately. And I can't dig the blocks in because it's a concrete driveway underneath. Does the pool liner extend out to the edges of the blocks? Or do they never touch and it's nothing to worry about? If they do - is there some method to protect the liner? Using pool noodles or something?
