Prefab Outdoor 20ft Shipping Container Swimming Pool

A 20ft prefab outdoor shipping container swimming pool is a modern, pre-built swimming pool made from a standard 20-foot shipping container. These pools are popular for their unique aesthetic, durability, and relatively fast installation time compared to traditional in-ground pools.

Here’s a breakdown of the key features and characteristics:

Key Features:

• Prefabricated (Prefab): This is a key selling point. The pool is constructed in a factory and shipped to your location as a complete unit. This significantly reduces on-site construction time and mess.
• Shipping Container Base: The pool’s structure is a new or repurposed 20ft shipping container, which is known for its incredible strength and resistance to weather. This provides a robust and long-lasting shell.
• Outdoor Use: While some companies may offer indoor options, these pools are primarily designed for outdoor installation, either above ground or partially submerged.
• Dimensions: A standard 20ft container is about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet tall. The pool itself will have slightly smaller interior dimensions due to the lining and insulation, but it provides a good space for swimming and lounging.

Common Components and Options:

• Interior Finish: The inside of the container is lined with a durable material like fiberglass, vinyl, or a specialized polymer to create a smooth, waterproof surface.
• Filtration System: Most prefab container pools come with an integrated pump and filter system, making them a complete, self-contained unit.
• Customization: Many manufacturers offer a range of customizable options, including:
  • Windows: Acrylic or glass viewing panels are a popular feature that adds a modern, aquarium-like feel.
  • Lighting: LED underwater lighting for ambiance and nighttime use.
  • Heating: Systems for heating the water, extending your swimming season.
  • Decking and Cladding: Exterior finishes like wood or composite decking to soften the industrial look and seamlessly integrate the pool into your backyard.
  • Stairs/Steps: Custom-built stairs or ladders for easy entry and exit.
• Portability: A major advantage of these pools is that they can be moved. If you relocate, you can take your pool with you, which is impossible with a traditional in-ground pool.

Installation:

Installation is typically much simpler than a traditional pool. It generally involves:

1. Preparing a level base (concrete pad, gravel, or compacted soil).
2. Using a crane to lift and place the container pool.
3. Connecting the electrical and plumbing systems.
4. Filling the pool with water.

This product is a great option for people who want a unique, modern, and relatively quick solution for adding a swimming pool to their property.
