suggestions please need base for swimming pool

[a4gom]

Just got an 8' dia blow up pool for the kids, only place I can put this is on the flags and they are not exactly even?

I'm concerned that they will end up puncturing the base of the pool, as it takes about 7000 litres I  don't want to keep filling it so need something to put under neath.

A piece of old carpet would do but it will always be wet, start to smell and my middle name ain't gypo!

I thought about 2 sheets of ply 8' x 4' but although it will pack away ok against the garage wall if its wet all the time its not going to last long, I think I could do with some rubber matting or something.

Any suggestions (prefferable cheap)

Heavy duty tent udersheet from "Blacks"

Black pvc stuff. v thick and v good value. About £4 for sheet big enough for 4 man dome tent

How about tent/awning carpet?

Available from camping and caravanning supply type places. Pretty sure i've seen some that is padded and it's designed to live on wet grass

Is the swimming pool for the kids just like the bouncy castle was the other week

Potster you caught me red handed again, its for the kids but when you start on the evil juice anything can happen.

Why not get some pond liner underlay, this would be perfect.Available from any pond supply specialist in the Yellow Pages.
