Installation on Concrete Pad Intex

[Poolnewbie144]

Hi all,
We have an Intex Ultra Frame XTR 32'x16'x52", that we are setting up on a concrete pad and need advice. Last year we had the ground leveled and used the pink insulation boards under the pool itself and wooden boards level with the ground. This year with the slab will obviously be different, slab is 6", 4500 psi, reinforced with rebar and level (not sloped, bonded too). I know we were planning on retaping up the foam board and putting them under the pool to protect the bottom from the concrete. But what do we do for the legs? I worry about the straps rubbing against the concrete and the legs rubbing on the concrete itself. What do you all recommend?

I thicker tarp or some thinner foam would work...

I was worried about the legs on concrete pavers as one of my legs had some small denting last year.
I found some thin (10mm / 3/8”) XPS foam for a good price (sorry it’s UK) which I’ve been experimenting with.
So far it seems to be holding up well but it’s only been down 6 weeks.

Does anyone know what these "gorilla" pads are?

Yep, I had one under my Intex. It provides no padding, so a bit of a misnomer. It’s a thin felt like material that is puncture resistant, designed to prevent rocks from poking through or weeds from growing through.

Think it would work on the concrete pad to protect the legs straps from rubbing damage (from concrete)?
