Resin uprights in a cold climate

[mattsarah04]

Hi Everyone, our pool quest continues...Has anyone had experience with all Resin uprights in a cold climate? We live in Illinois and have some pretty harsh winters. Wondering if if steel or Resin is the way to go?

All resin pool in Ontario Canada - no issues with the resin.

I see you have a Vogue pool. We are looking at their revalation pool. How long have you had it?

We only got it this year (used) but it is 8-10 years old. Ours is all resin frame with aluminum wall. The only damage to the frame was where a tree root had grown up through on of the holes in the wall base and expended it - once I cut the root out the expended hole actually returned to almost it's original size. The wall was in perfect shape. There was a real trick to installing the liner and top caps with their unique connection system but I don't know if they still use that system or not (top caps overlap at each upright and sit right on the wall/liner (there is no clip over the liner) and then plastic pegs get inserted and twisted to connect the 2 sections of top cap).
