Why Trek Pools Uses Superior Coatings to Protect Your Container Pool for Decades
When investing in a pool, long-term durability is just as important as design and aesthetics. While many traditional pools rely on plaster, gelcoat, or basic paint systems that break down over time, Trek Pools takes a far more advanced approach. As the nation’s only fully custom shipping container pool builder, Trek Pools uses a multi-layer interior and exterior coating system engineered for extreme longevity — the kind of durability expected in industrial water tanks, maritime applications, and chemical-resistant environments.
Every Trek Pool begins with a Corten steel structure, known for its inherent corrosion resistance. But Trek goes far beyond the steel itself. Once the container is fully designed, fabricated, and structurally reinforced, the interior is treated with a multi-step coating system specifically engineered to withstand harsh pool chemistry, constant water immersion, and UV exposure. This system includes corrosion-inhibiting coatings sourced directly from Sherwin-Williams, a global leader in industrial and marine protective coatings. These are the same high-performance barrier coatings used on water tanks, municipal infrastructure, and heavy-duty steel structures exposed to the elements.
The interior coating process doesn’t stop there. After the corrosion-resistant layers cure, Trek Pools applies a final injection-molded plastic lining, creating a smooth, watertight shell that protects the steel beneath it for years to come. This interior surface is not only durable but comfortable, attractive, and easy to clean. It acts as a second line of defense against water chemistry fluctuations, abrasion, impact, and long-term wear — ensuring the interior finish remains beautiful and resilient season after season.
The exterior receives the same level of attention. Trek Pools uses Sherwin-Williams industrial-grade tank coatings on the outside of every unit — the exact type of protective system used in large-scale water tanks, pipelines, and industrial storage vessels. These coatings resist corrosion, weathering, moisture penetration, and UV degradation, ensuring the pool’s exterior remains strong and visually appealing regardless of climate or installation conditions. Whether placed in a hot desert environment, a humid lakeside property, or a snowy northern climate, Trek’s coating system is engineered to perform.
This dual-layer protection — industrial coatings inside and out, plus a molded interior lining — sets Trek Pools apart from every other pool builder in the U.S. Traditional pools require constant resurfacing, crack repairs, or recoating. Trek Pools, on the other hand, are engineered from day one to minimize maintenance and maximize lifespan. The result is a pool that stands strong against chemicals, weather, water, salt, chlorine, UV exposure, and time itself.
By combining Corten steel, Sherwin-Williams industrial coatings, and a final injection-molded liner, Trek Pools delivers one of the most durable and protected pool shells on the market. If you're looking for a pool built to last — not just for years, but for decades — Trek Pools offers unmatched engineering, protection, and peace of mind.
