Weeds and other things - Will they grow through my Pool?

[Alysenlynn]

Well, I think we're definitely going to not only treat chemically before putting down our pool but we are also going to use some type of physical weed barrier! I need to locate that pro bottom mentioned above. Any ideas?

Close friends of ours have a 24 ft vouge in their back yard (they have been our inspiration for getting a pool) and while they were on vacation this summer a weed grew up through their liner!

Thanks for all the info!

We sprayed with rouncup after clearing the land, but before adding sand. We did 2 days of roundup, then laid our black plastic barrier, then added sand on top of that. Might have been overkill, but better safe than sorry!

Hi bad, I have one of my local pool stores order the product for me in 100 lb barrels. It is also available in bags from 1 to 5 lbs. Those are the normal amounts needed to treat one pool. I order from Pool Supply Wharehouse in Phx. Az. but the product comes out of Forida.

Hope that helps some, Dennis
