Wood is actually a composite material composed of several polymers (e.g. cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), assorted minerals, fatty acids, resin acids, waxes terpenes, etc. As a composite, wood is biologically analogous to fiberglass epoxy or carbon fiber epoxy synthetic composites, with cellulose providing the fibers and hemicellulose and lignin the binders.

What is the difference between wood metal and polymer plastic pool walls?

Wood and metal pool walls are typically more durable and long-lasting compared to polymer plastic walls. Wood offers a more natural aesthetic but requires regular maintenance, while metal provides strength and stability but may be prone to rust. Polymer plastic walls are lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to rust and corrosion, but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal walls.
