So, I'm prepping my ground for an Intex 22' x 52" pool and have the leveling just about finished. Next up is to put in some foam padding. I see that extruded foam padding is the recommended type to use. My problem is that I'm not able to find any locally. Neither Home Depot or Lowes carry it locally and won't ship it. Not sure why. Is there another option? Or, does anyone from the Los Angeles/North Orange County area know of any places that sell it locally? I've looked online and called several local stores, but no luck so far (other than 1"x2'x2' at Home Depot which would take a whole lot of work to tape together).
Foam Padding for Intex 22'x52"

Have you searched for Lowe's or Home Depot stores within a larger distance from your home? You might just have to do more driving to find it in-store. I'm on the East coast and have never had this problem finding XPS board.

I used foam sheets I found at my local lowes. If you search my build thread I believe I have some photo's in there to help
Very helpful build thread. Thanks.
How's the foam padding holding up? I do have that style available locally. California must have something against XPS sheets.

It is the same as the original install. The 2 tarps I used I think helped. The original tarp that came with the pool I used on the ground (between the ground and foam sheets). The black tarp I used between the pool liner and the foam sheets. I did this to protect the foam sheets and I did not want to see the foam. I just tucked the black tarp under the foam sheets like tucking sheets on a bed. It has held up great. I was originally trying to find the XPS sheets but I don't think they are sold in Ca.
