Navigating the U.S.-Canada Trade War: Smart Pool Choices for Homeowners

With ongoing U.S.-Canada trade tensions, many homeowners are concerned about rising pool material costs. However, choosing Canadian-made options can help manage expenses while ensuring quality.

Impact of the Trade War on Pool Materials

Tariffs and supply chain disruptions have raised concerns about pricing and availability, making locally sourced materials a more reliable choice.

Latham, a leader in the pool industry, has opened a fiberglass manufacturing facility in Loyalist Township, Ontario, reducing reliance on imports. This move helps:
✅ Manage costs by avoiding tariff-related price fluctuations
✅ Ensure quality with Canadian manufacturing standards
✅ Support sustainability by reducing transport emissions
