What specific type of extruded polystyrene rigid foam insulation under the pool?

Just wondering if someone can advise me as to which type and thickness of extruded polystyrene rigid foam insulation to get to install underneath an Intex Ultra Frame 16 x 32 that will hopefully go up in 2-3 weeks? Thanks so much. :D

You're the best! Thank you. It looks like the home depot brand/option is totally out of stock. I found the DOW, but it's like $35/sheet. Still cheaper than the foam mats from harbor freight tho, so it seems like that's our best option at this point.

When I had my Intex Pool we used the foam underneath the pool. Mine was on leveled dirt and I had pavers under the legs. The foam and paver were the same height to keep the pool level. You could always put the legs on the foam board, just not sure if the foam boards would hold up the legs overtime or would there be some sag.

Thank you! I think we'll keep the legs on the concrete just to be safe.
