    Above ground pool base

    Hello, we are switching from a 10' Intex to a 20' Intex. The difference? The 10' fit on our concrete patio. The 20' does not. We have grass for the rest of our yard. What is the best thing to put under our new pool to ensure it doesn't rip and or have other problems occur? Thanks!!
