Shipping container pools are all the rage these days and there’s good reason. They’re easy to order, easy to install, and easy on the eyes and the wallet!
Is there anything better than having friends and family over to enjoy a Summer’s day by the pool in the backyard? Whether you’re lounging on a flamingo floatie with a cold one in hand or winning the cannonball competition, pools make us happy and they bring people together.
Why People Are Choosing Shipping Container Pools
The way inflation is these days, a new traditional pool can cost a pretty penny! We bought our home with the pool already built-in and were lucky because we didn’t have the cash for a $80,000 – $100,000 new pool. Pools these days can cost even more than that; some are going for $100,000+!
Not only do traditional pools cost a pretty penny, they take much longer to install. Contractors and their teams can become quite costly. With a shipping container pool, you’re looking at as little as 1-3 days to install your new pool, or less depending on your project and placement space.
How much Do Shipping Container Pools Cost?
Shipping container pools with proper lining, stairs, lights, LED, insulation, and equipment for example, can start as little as $33,800. If you’d like to add a salt-water chlorination system, heater, and cover, you’re looking at an additional $12,000. Add the high tech bells and whistles and you’re still looking at under $70k, that is one heck of a deal for a pool these days.
So if you’re hunting for a quick and affordable option, look no further. Shipping container pools are the way to go! Consider this your go-to guide for why shipping container pools are the best option for pools in 2024:

What Makes Our Shipping Container Pools Different?
You might be wondering, “the inside of that pool doesn’t look like a shipping container?!” Well you’re right, it’s not the inside of a shipping container. We’ve designed a fiberglass shell that we insert into the container and seal with a high density foam that insulates your pool and helps your pool last years to come. Many shipping containers will rust without that key ingredient; the fiberglass shell. It’s durable, stain resistant, and much easier to clean.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective pool that looks great and can be designed, delivered, and installed quickly and affordably, container pools are a great option. If you’d like to have more customization or a more unique design for your pool, you may want to go the traditional route.
