☀️ Built for Iowa Climate, Winterization & Long-Term Value
Iowa’s freeze–thaw cycles, clay-heavy soils, and seasonal temperature swings make fiberglass the most reliable pool type for long-term ownership. Rainforest Pools’ composite shells flex without cracking, resist ground movement, and prevent algae growth thanks to a smooth, non-porous surface. To understand how installation works from excavation to final inspection, review our Fiberglass Pool Installation Process.
