I will be attempting to put in a 21-ft round above ground pool With a Little Help from My Friends. Planning on investing and having a concrete pad put in and using Gorilla mat, foam Cove and foam walls. I was wondering if I need to use sand at all if I'm putting it on a concrete pad. Then I guess my next question is what comes first? The gorilla mat, then the foam Cove on top of that and and then the walls? I need all the help I can get with this project so any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated. TIA
