Has anyone had any success with this keeping weeds at bay? We've tried nearly everything, but every year they grow through and pierce the pool liner.

The Gorilla Floor Padding is an excellent product to put under your pool. The padding is quality and I haven't had anything pierce thru or would expect anything to pierce thru the padding. Gorilla padding is a superior product in my eyes. I have a intex 18 x 52 inch pool and have had no issues.

Both our neighbors and us have been using the Gorilla Pad for 2 years now and have never experienced any weeds penetrating whatsoever. Sometimes 1 or 2 will grow on top of the pad around the edge but that's it. Works great!

I put down the sand packed it well, the laid the Gorilla pad down and the the tarp the pool provided. I had a few weeds grow through both. it really surprised me. it does how ever provide a good pad for the feet in the pool.

I don't know if this will work, but we put the heavy tarp down before laying our rocks down in the front to keep the weeds from growing up in-between the rocks and it has worked so far and it has been nine months! It is a very large area, we had to lay down four tarps before laying the rocks down, so you might want to give it a try...if the grass and weeds can't breath they can't grow. Good Luck, I hope this works for you if you decide to try it. Linda

We put pea gravel down, then the ground cover, then the Gorilla pad. No weeds under the pool. We had a couple On the outside but that's all

As a Master Gardener, I highly recommend Preen Weed Preventer. I have used this product for over 15 years and wouldn't be able to maintain the number of gardens in my yard without it. I apply generously twice a year--before spring /summer annual weeds come up and before fall/winter annual weeds come up. But last year, I didn't read the package label carefully enough and purchased another Preen product: "Preen Lawn Broadleaf Weed Control Granules" and that is a different product altogether. It is formulated to kill weeds that are already growing and will kill your impatiens. It is also harmful to fish, once it gets into the water. So, stick with Preen Weed Preventer and you should be fine. As a Master Gardener, I highly recommend Preen Weed Preventer.

We just poured some powder along the corners of the walls. Any crevices should be covered. But the product does not work. We even poured some powder directly onto one of the roaches and trap it in a jar...nothing happened...If we did not used the product properly, then I took back what I reviewed. But we have moved out from that apartment, we just hope anyone in trouble can get rid of roach problem as soon as possible.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

I have never had that problem. How is your salt level? I find that for my pool size I have to run it an hour longer than suggested each day during the hot summer months here in Texas. I also use the brush very thoroughly while the pump is running at least once a week to make sure I don't get any algae growing on the walls or bottom of the pool.

I used a weed killer sprayer and paint brush, so no experience with a roller. I'm speculating that a roller would work, the waterproofing penetrates easily. Good luck!

Always make sure you have nothing touching the wires,not weeds either.I have a ground rod and an isolator.It has worked well since I purchased it without any problems.

Hi Tyson! We have a security fence around our pool. We have a nylon rope tied to the fence and use an inexpensive carbeener to link the two together. I will take a pic and upload later so you can see what I mean. It works awesome!!

go to "Pramitol 5ps, 2 Lbs" on Amazon. It gives directions/ sq ft and also has some reviews you'd be interested in. I had to double the application for a rock covered area that didn't really have a lot of weeds at all. It was early season so weeds hadn't come yet. I cannot stress enough that a complete water right after is essential.

has not harmed my lawn yet, I also back flush a chlorine pool onto the lawn, that just greens it up a bit. but I have to dump it on the lawn, no where else to go with it.

We had no success fighting algae with this product. It makes the water very clear otherwise. We bought a copper ionizer this year to fight string algae and so far it's seemed to work fine. We've had terrible string algae in the past

Combi of things but keep you chlorine and ph levels up and algeo wont grow. Also some algecide at the beginning of the year doesnt hurt. If you already have algea then shocking the pool a few time in a row will get rid of it

We plan on keeping the pool up all year since we live in a warm area. The grass under the pool is going to be dead anyway. A good method of draining is to siphon through a garden hose into an outdoor drain or to the street.

This will be our 3rd summer with the pool and we have left it up year round. The first year, we drained it, and last year we didn't. I have had no issues with the exterior walls even with the unexpected snow and ice we had this winter in Louisiana!

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)

it's the best barrier I have ever used, by far. I have used it in my garden since early April with no weeds peeping through! In my opinion, you will not find a better weed barrier.

We've been using it since 2010 with no deterioration in quality. Maybe contact the manufacturer for their guarantee. Have found no better product. Weeds come out easily with just your fingertips, no digging or straining. We live in an area that has monsoons all summer, daily rain that can grow a 2-inch weed in 24 hours, don't like to use weed killer chemicals in many areas. Good luck with your projects.
