Shipping Container Pools For Sale
Steel container swimming pools built and finished in the factory — 20ft from $6,450, delivered ready to fill anywhere in the 50 states.
A shipping container pool is a Corten steel container converted into a finished swimming pool — sandblasted, sealed, lined, plumbed and fitted with filtration before it leaves the factory. It arrives on a truck, sets on a prepared base, and is ready to fill the same week. Outback builds them in 20ft, 30ft and 40ft lengths, including deep-end, glass-panel and endless swim-jet designs.

Container pool FAQs
Site Preparation & Delivery Requirements
- 1. Pad or surfaceA level, load-bearing base slightly larger than the pool footprint (for example, 20 ft x 8 ft for a 20ft pool). Use either a 4–6 inch reinforced concrete pad (recommended for permanent placement) or a 4–6 inch compacted gravel bed (3/4 inch minus). It must be level and firm under all four corners, with drainage away from the base. A full base spec is provided with every order.
- 2. ElectricalA GFCI-protected circuit for the pump, filtration and lighting, plus a separate dedicated circuit for the electric heater (typically 240V). Both must be installed by a licensed electrician to the pool's equipment side, with bonding and grounding to local pool code. Exact electrical specs are provided with the order.
- 3. Water and plumbingNo permanent plumbing or sewer connection is needed, because all plumbing is built in. Fill with a standard garden hose from a nearby outdoor spigot. Plan a location for drain and backwash water in line with local discharge rules.
- 4. Delivery accessThe pool is delivered on a flatbed and set by crane (included). The crane needs a clear, firm area of about 20 x 30 ft within roughly 25 ft of the placement spot, good truck access, and no power lines within 20 ft of the lift path.
- 5. Permits and safetyMost cities treat container pools like any other pool, so a permit and a compliant safety barrier or fence are usually required. We supply drawings and specifications for the permit application.
