pool deck safety

I work in a group home for children with disabilities. We have an above ground pool with a metal pool deck (with the walkway going all around). The pool is great for the kids, but they do lots of body flops while standing in the middle of the pool. The pool is not perfectly round (hexagon, I believe), however, so there are edges where the walkway angles. Do you know of any bumpers to cover these edges? I was thinking of something made out of the pool "noodle" material. Since the kids play so rough, these edges are a big concern. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I would suggest you look into indoor/outdoor carpet. The carpet can be cut to fit the deck and out onto the rails if needed. It can then be glued into place with carpet glue. This will protect all of the sharp edges and is easy on the feet.
