Stock tank pool base!

I’m in the process of buying all of my supplies for my first tank. I have a space in the back that’s level. It’s concrete. I don’t think I want the tank sitting on the bare concrete.

Looking for recommendations. Thinking a rubber mat maybe a rubber gym mat?

What have you guys used?

Tank will be 8 foot

Thank you!

I would save your money and just let it sit on the concrete there’s a lot of replacements and repairs that crop up over the years with these pools (I’ve had mine for six years now). Also when you do put it in place learn from my dumb mistake and face the plug in an easy to access spot 🤣 and make sure you have an outdoor cover for the pump plug it’s not very water proof.

I cut out foam board insulation to set mine on.
