I have seen some pool people recommend the white foam online so it must not be too bad. However, I didn't want to use it after reading that it absorbs water and becomes mushy over time. I found that the closest Home Depot in southern California that carries the pink form is an hour away (Anaheim (Pullman St. store). We decided to make the trek and exchanged the white for the pink. I chose the half inch thick because the 2" was way too expensive (almost $29 per sheet). It does seem stronger so I hope it was worth the trouble. [links]

I just put up a15x30 steel wall pool. I used the foam board for the bottom of our pool. This is a great idea. I used the board that is white on one side and like alluminun foil on the other side and is 3/4 thick. I never though to check the density of the foam"I wish I had". Our home depot only offer the white or blue . Which was more expensive so I opt for the cheaper. Our pool has been up for about 2 months and the base of the pool is nice and smooth. The pool company sold me a roll out foam base that was 1/4" thick. I used it as a vapor barrier. Don't know if it was necessary on not. But, since I bought it I use it. When I put in the foam board I used gorilla duck tape to tape the seams together. I also staggered the width seam like you would on a roof deck. Now, here's what happen the liner squeezes in between the some of the seams. Everything seems to be ok and you can barly feel the seams with your feet so I believe we're good. I don't like the way it looks. So, I'm going to drain it over the winter and use a good tarp over the foam board. I think that will fix it. I hope this helps. I would love to know how it goes and what you do. The pool company also sold us a wall foam. I almost didn't get it I'm so glad I did. It's 1/6 " thick and when you run your hand down the wall it feels soft. They said to use spay adhesive to install it. That sucked the best way is to just use duck tape to hold it up. BTW we had a pool party today with about 10 kids/adults in the pool and the floor held up just fine.

Well I could not wait, took a coffee break and ran home, I only live about two minutes from the office. Well it not highload 60 it�s Styrofoam Utilityfit 15 psi. Well, one would think I would have read the printing on the foam when I picked it up. I did ask for Highload 60, but got the 15 psi stuff. Well back to the search for Highload 60. I will post the price when I find some. [links]

Just thought I would check and see if this is the going price for the DOW blue foam�

[sarahalfred142]

I only buy 5 at a time so no volume discounts are offered. The folks at Allied were very nice though and helped me pick through for sheets that were out of the sun and not buggered up.

[chupacabra]

I picked up the foam from an insulation company in Reno, NV. They only had 6 sheets left, and they were pretty dinged up. I�m hopping they will be getting a new pallet soon so I can get a couple of more sheets. I need to make sure it�s High-load 60, but I�m about 99% sure it is. I�ll double check when I get home. more

Last time I purchased Highload 60 Dow foam - from Allied Building Materials I was charged $22.00 each for 24" x 96" sheets.

Hi Alan I live in Canada too and had hard time to find building meterial. Finally built my own foam cutter to get those 1/4 foam slice. I know thats not what you asked for but, 1/2 inche thin seeem so much for a foam plane. Wonder the dimension and weight of your F22. You will need some big gear to make that fly. Take a look to the foam cutter thread. Its full of useful infos. Welcome to RcGroups

The pontoons and deck are solid foam core rib contruction and fiberglass reinforced. It is strong enough to operate in rivers and lakes with ease, even taking bumps from floating logs. [links]

The beauty of this design is you can build it any size you want. You can even build a pontoon houseboat.

The WizCat is absolutely unsinkable due to solid foam core pontoon catamaran design. The WizCat will not sink or flip over. With it's high floatation and 4" inch draft you can easily slide over those shallow fishing spots. more

The 'secret' is Dupont Foamular or Dow Corning Blue Styrofoam (closed cell foams). One cubic foot of Dupont Foamular will displace 60 lbs of fresh water or 62lbs of salt water. Each pontoon (12' x 2' x 1') can displace 1,440 pounds. Total 2,880 lbs of displacement.
