what floor can I put under an 8ft pool?

We're getting an 8ft pool and it will go on to concrete on the patio. Only place for it. We've looked at the rubber gym flooring tiles to put under it, to make it comfortable. Is there a cheaper way to do
it? It's costing minimum £50 for these
tiles. Just wondering if we could do it cheaper.

Get the kids foam play squares. Can usually get cheap Chad valley ones at argos.

either that or I steal dhs work dust sheets 😀

I've got a bubble wrap liner under mine. The ones that you should put on the top of the pool to keep the heat in. I had it last year and it's got a rip in it, so decided to use that. I think they are able £15ish.

Search for solar pool cover.
But really, the kids interlocking foam squares do a perfect job.

Either the foam squares that aldi usually sell in the summer similar to the kids ones, or even something like cheap carpet tiles? I don't actually think £50 is a lot for that space!

I got the b&q heavy duty interlocking mats £10 a pack of 6 i believe.
