Description
HPI LG28R 27′ / 28′ Round Premium Floor Padding (Liner Guard) for Above-Ground Pools
The HPI LG28R is a heavy-duty round pool floor padding designed to protect above-ground pool liners from punctures and wear caused by rocks, roots, and rough ground. It also creates a smoother, more comfortable pool bottom and helps extend liner life by adding a protective barrier between the liner and the base.
Key Features
- Fits pool sizes: 27′ and 28′ round above-ground pools
- Protective geotextile fabric helps guard against punctures from stones and root growth
- Moisture-permeable to help reduce groundwater trapping that can lead to staining or odor issues
- Mold and mildew resistant construction for better off-season durability
- One-piece design for faster installation (no piecing multiple rolls together)
Common Uses
- New above-ground pool installs where you want better liner protection than sand alone
- Replacing old, compressed, or torn floor pad during a liner change
- Adding a smoother surface underfoot while reducing liner abrasion
Installation Notes
- Prepare and level the base first (remove sharp debris, compact, and smooth the surface).
- Lay the pad centered in the pool footprint and keep it flat without wrinkles.
- Do not overlap pad material—overlaps can telegraph through the liner over time.
- Install the liner promptly after placing the pad to keep the surface clean and undisturbed.

Maintenance Tips
- During liner replacements, inspect padding for thin spots, tears, or root intrusion and replace if compromised.
- Maintain proper water balance to help preserve the liner and reduce premature aging.
- If you notice “soft spots” or washout under the liner, investigate base drainage and repair the sub-base before replacing liners.
