Built in the USA, Perfected by Experts - The Story of Midwest Container Pools
We have one goal in mind with our pools.
At Midwest Container Pools, we have one goal in mind: when we sell a pool, it has to be perfect. That's why why we are so proud of designing and developing the fiberglass inserts for our pools. The last thing we want is a family to buy a pool and have rust issues in just a couple years. We are driven to be better than every other container pool company in every way.
Our start
My name is Sheldon Trieb, and the story of Midwest Container Pools is really the story of decades of hands-on experience across several industries.
In the early 2000s, I worked as a swimming-pool contractor, learning the fundamentals of pool construction, hydraulics, and installation.
After the 2008 economic collapse, I transitioned into becoming a Union Ironworker, where I developed an even deeper appreciation for structural integrity, fabrication precision, and steel craftsmanship.
Then, in 2016, I launched a spray-foam insulation company, mastering the chemistry and performance of insulation systems—knowledge that would later become a cornerstone of our fully insulated container-pool design.
All these experiences came together to form Midwest Container Pools, a company built on efficiency, innovation, and precision engineering. This combination gives us the ability to offer a far superior container pool at a price comparable to competitors—without compromise.
Our Partners
To produce the best container pool possible, Midwest Container Pools knew from day one that it would take a team of true experts—not generalists.
Metal Fabrication
We rely on Chapman Services, a respected fabrication shop known for building multimillion-dollar asphalt and soil-reclamation equipment. Their certified welders prepare each container shell with world-class accuracy, ensuring every pool begins with a flawless structural foundation.
Fiberglass Manufacturing
Our most important challenge was the fiberglass shell.
We partnered with
Meister Integrated Composites, LLC, who designed and built our custom fiberglass molds—liner and stair sections included. Richard Meister is one of the most respected professionals in the composites industry, and he played a major role in the entire design process. Every fiberglass component for our pools comes from this world-class facility.
Insulation Expertise
Our sister company, Spray On Systems LLC, handles the closed-cell spray-foam insulation that fills the gap between the fiberglass shell and steel container. This insulation increases energy efficiency, strengthens the pool body, and makes true four-season heating possible.
Assembly & Design Support
To complete our process, we collaborate with
Clearwater Pools & Spas in Leavenworth, Kansas. Their team assists with final assembly and design details. Clearwater builds some of the most impressive pools in the Midwest, which makes them the perfect partners for bringing our container pools to life.
