It maight seems like that, if you put your dreams in ignorance. What she says are simply the possible issues with a fixed context. Not that they are imposible or irracional to use in every case scenario.
If you do a lot of the work yourself any pool can be way cheaper. I have access so all heavy equipment so for me it would be a weekend job to dig and poor concrete and I can do the framing myself and the concrete so that saves thousands.
Why are your hopes and dreams to reuse an industrial piece of equipment? They should simply be recycled and almost all energy used to make the steel is recovered. Trying to take a specific use industrial material to "repurpose it" is silly. Recycle and build proper items with proper materials.
This shipping container repurposing reminds me of the pallet furniture I wanted to make a few years ago. After researching I realized the risk of chemicals and bugs in old pallets meant I'd need to buy new ones. Buying new ones meant I might as well pay for a professionally made couch and bed.

I used to harbor a fantasy of owning an endless pool for doing fitness as you said here. The price was always a show stopper. Then I got to use one at my public gym. It was a disappointment, because I could easily overpower the current and swim right into the wall. I think that one was more for the underwater treadmill use. But the cost.. for $80 a month, I get 3 lap pools, a locker room and free clean towel service. I can do that for 16 years before an Endless pool is cheaper., if you don't charge for the water and heater.
@@punpun3257 We actually have a lot of good pools in Virginia. The higher end ones with 50 meter laps are just not always open to the public. But yes, I got some outdoor laps today at my regular public club.
@@punpun3257 It really isn't. I live in the cheaper side of Portland and all the gyms here have it. A lot of east Portland was even considered Felony flats for a long time. It's far from rich.
@@punpun3257 Yes but that's not equal. Most people in the US are not living rich and tons are living in poverty. I did for most my life until recently.
One thing that people don't think about is the lifespan of the pool and what to do at the end of the economic life of the pool. I do a lot of swimming pool demolitions. I get two or three calls a week from people who want to get rid of their pools. It's sometimes more expensive to fix an old pool than to demolish it. It's not an asset.
Shipping containers became a fad, or a buzz word. They are absolutely great to buy as a shed, or.... storage container... but twisting them into houses or pools is just swimming upstream.
Why does TH-cam only show me your channel when you’re talking about shipping containers.. I subscribed and put the notifications on. Keep up the good work
Brent Pack same here! Ever since I watched her shipping container videos last year or early this year sometime, I keep getting notifications of her show when it’s regarding a shipping container.
I'm going to stick with going to my local public pool. It is half indoor, half outdoor so it can be sealed off for warmth in winter, and left open in the summer. If I get there 1 hr before it closes I get a lane to myself, and the pool is surrounded by bushland so we get kookaburras and magpies. It is so beautiful and peaceful, there is nothing like swimming in peace and quiet while the birds go about their business as the sun sets and dusk falls.
@@anonamemous6865 My local swimming pool has a $7 student entry. I also live a 15 minute drive from the beach so when it is warm enough, I go there instead.
nah, all these engineering problems aside, it just looks like an accident waiting to happen with those steps leading up to the pool that's above ground with no railings.
*Fiberglass* pools are, by far, the most efficient and economical in the long run. Plus you're not stuck exclusively with the shipping-container dimensions.
@@sinatraforeign I'm talking about... traditional fibreglass pools. You can get them as shells and basically use dirt with some reinforcement as the box...
Not really, Those disadvantages she si talking about are easy to fix, there are cheap treatments against corrosion, the cracks int the fiver glass occur in other type of structures, and about the waterproofing, you have good waterproofing solutions that work well with metal, companies like ARDEX, Fester etc. I’m an architect and structural engineer and worked many years building large swimming pools for hotels and as a consultant.
The reality is that pools at home are a rich people's thing. They have the money to just pay someone to maintain the pool. Sure an upper middle class guy can save for a pool, but he's going to have to maintain it himself. Just buy a hot tub for like $5k and call it a day. Or just stop being poor, duh! /s
I've never considered a shipping container pool (or home) but gosh that does not stop me from being fascinated with these kinds of videos! Some comments said dream crusher but really, you're doing a great thing to tell people about the realities of things like this!

I so badly want to disagree with you because I love the look, but you’re so right that they’re completely impractical. You also mention pretty much every disadvantage that it has that I never thought of. Lol
I'm sure that someone could make a shell for any other over-ground pool that makes it look like it was a shipping container once. It might cost a lot but enough money tends to make (nearly) everything a possibility ;)
You could easily contract someone to build you an on-ground pool that retains that same look using traditional/conventional materials and come up with that motif you are interested in while avoiding all the disadvantages at the same time
This is great content. It cleared my mind on having it above the ground if I choose to have a container pool. You can always build a deck around anyway :)
Also, the fact people would put these pools underground is hilarious! Let's put a fiberglass pool into a shipping container and then put the whole thing into the ground. Why not just put a fiberglass pool right in the ground and skip the stupid shipping container? Well because then you can't virtue signal about your amazing recycled shipping container in the ground...
I don't know what shipping containers did to this nice lady, but whatever it was, she's made it a personal vendetta to crush their hopes and dreams. lol
Honestly; seeing a house with a pool is a huge turn off for me (from an ownership perspective). I see a pool and instead of wonderful relaxation, I see *money pit*. Can't swim in it in the winter (not a cold [read: doesn't get below freezing] climate where I am, but outdoor swimming isn't something I do 6 months of the year) And the other 6 months of the year I wouldn't use it every day. So instead of something nice, I see 12 months of maintenance for 30 days of use per year. Not coincidentally we get 4 weeks of leave every year ... funnily enough I can just go on holidays somewhere that has a pool.
growing up in arizona, I disagree. That being said, seeing in ground pools in places like NY or illinois seems stupid and lavish. As for your personal opinion on using it, thats entirely up to you. I knew people that never used their pool but I also knew of people who would use it at least twice a week for 8 months out of the year. The maintence wasnt bad for those people because if you did a small bit of skimming once a week before using it, it would never become a huge issue. Biggest thing would be cleaning the limescale off once a year.
I like to imagine she has some tragic origin story containing Shipping Containers. Like a Shipping Containers shot her parents in a dark ally and she vowed from that day to get her revenge.
20k for a tiny shipping container or you could pay a quarter as much and get a massive above ground pool that lets you do laps or relax in and is pretty cheap to maintain.
You know I came across your channel by accident as I'm hoping to buy a house soon but you have made architecture really interesting. So I have subscribed :)
I used to want an infinity pool as a kid but growing up, I realized I would have to clean and maintain it or pay someone to do it which I’m not a fan of lol
I build a heated tub myself for a fraction of the price.. I took 2x2x2x2 pallets in the shape of a rectangle, and 4 on the ground.. Then added a plastic sheets on the inside and outside. With 4 steel bars surrounding it for strength.. That only costed me $250. Next I added a copper pipe that went from the pool into a fire, and back into the pool. Total costs for a heated hottub was only $500. It would easily fit 10 people. I should have recorded it for youtube, but I didn't.. Will do next time. No need to spend 10k or 20k!
Why Shipping Container pool ? ADVANTAGES: - Shipping container brings stunning corrugated look - Highly customizable as per user preference - Easy & Fast to fix and dismantle. - The size is lengthier though it's 20ft & 40ft is way more. - Water jets can also be installed in container pools. DISADVANTAGES: - Expensive
Excellent information. The lack of insulation in a shipping container pool is a key factor that most people will overlook. In a hot country like Australia, it is probably not as much an issue. But in cold climates the amount of energy needed to keep a pool warm is a big cost issue.
@@karenwoytowich1140 Live in the DFW area. Pool owner and can confirm we use our pool from April to November. Heating is mega bucks so inside during the winter for us.
This channel killed my tiny house fantasy. I never heard of a shipping container pool until this title crossed my eyes. For an entire minute it seemed like a great idea. Tell me something. How do you feel about shipping containers for shipping? Are they at least good for that or would it be better to use something else?
Thanks for another highly informative video. 👍 I am always excited to learn something interesting from you with each upload. I'd love to have an endless pool but I'd settle for a sensory deprivation tank. Heck, even a large tub would be great.

I just eat this stuff up, and you get to learn about topics and the often overlooked complexities of designing/engineering/building things. Nothing but a win. =)
i've a cheaper alternative: pools made from pond plastic sheet of holes dug in the earth, size: at least 3,5m diameter by 1m depth- just have to put on the swimming harness (30$ ?)on your feet & fix it on any tree or pole for swimming the 4 styles as you like, i already tried it in the river. its producer is nabaiji, guess you can find it on YT its presentation. technical equipment of any pool better with filterpump & solar heater (PE) of course.
There's nothing wrong with an affordable above-ground pool. Just build an attractive, functional deck above and screen the nuts-and-bolts below with landscaping.

I didn't even knew about this alternatives! Thank you very much for sharing the info!
Doesn't sound right: 1. Steel shipping containers are not strong enough to hold in the force of water, but the shown pool is made with fiberglass inserts. Fiberglass inserts are _insanely strong_, there's a reason boat hulls are made using polyester. 2. When lowered into the ground, the earth is pushing in the pool, surely that is balanced out by the water pushing out. Don't underestimate the power of shipping containers either surely when they are re-enforced. 3. Insulation is a matter of implementation, if you have a fiberglass shell and a shipping container, at least go the extra mile and fill up the voids with insulation :) Anyhoe, the 20' shipping container option is going to have no structural issues whatsoever - it's overbuilt if anything.
Yes, a 10,000L of water weights 10 tonnes, but the walls of the container are only subjected to a stress relative to the pressure head of the water. So a 1.5 metre deep pool only has a stress of 14.7kPa or 2.13psi on the bottom of its walls, meaning a pool only needs to be as strong as an air tank rated to 2.13psi. The fibreglass shell is easily enough to hold the water in sideways. The steel container only holds the shell up off the ground.
Half of the arguments were about problems that the company had already solved. They obviously had the fiber glass lining figured out and the structural reinforcement was included in the price.. The only valid argument against them (before we went into the apples/oranges comparison with endless pools) was insulation. And that obviously depends on the climate.
Containers are designed to transport goods. Pools are difficult to transport. If you put a pool in a container it becomes easy to transport. These people are literally using a shopping container for its intended purpose. No it doesn't make a great pool but it is the easiest pool to transport.
it's funny, people are trying to reuse shipping containers to be more environmentally friendly. Now they are being used as pools... having tons of clean water just to play in is not environmentally friendly, there's nothing that you can do to make pools environmentally friendly, that's an oxymoron. if the pool is heated then there the energy cost. the pool has to be kept clean with all sort of cleaners that spill out into the environment.
I feel like Shipping Container Pools are trying to be a catch-all everything solution and competitor to all the specialised options out there - it may be cheaper than the Endless Pool but I would rather buy a specilised piece of equipment such as an Endless Pool for exercise than buying a shipping container pool and a bunch of add-ons to make it into that exercise equipment. Same with a spa, etc. Everyone is obsessed with shipping containers - I was in interior design school (dropped out due to being bullied by instructors for being partially colour blind) when the shipping container obsession was only just starting and it reeked of finding a solution to a problem that wasn't understood properly (metal waste from used/damaged shipping containers) by making it work on Pinterest and Instagram.
@@mabamabam No one said they claimed to be the best pool. They're just low quality by virtue of their starting material. These shipping container pools are still being priced as luxury items, so they're expecting customers to pay premium prices for an objectively worse above ground pool just because it's "easier to transport" in the event of a move. Which is kinda ridiculous.
@@qaasi95 the point isn't that you might move house. The point is that you have to get the pool to your house in the first place. And even more to the point the company can now get their pools made in china a ship them to Australia cheaply. They aren't very expensive at all. Of course a pool in Australia costs more than one in the southern US, everything in Australia costs more because they pay workers properly.
@@mabamabam ???? That's literally even stupider than I thought. This sounds like a supply chain gambit. Take advantage of an oversupply of containers to ship substandard above ground pools cheaply (cause they pack well and are cheap to manufacture) and overcharge for the novelty. I was looking at US based suppliers when I was researching prices cause I live in the States. I'm sure I could find cheaper ones if I looked even harder, but I couldn't find any below 20,000 for medium sized containers, and most were much more expensive.
@@qaasi95 not seeing how it's stupid. If the customer values the ease of install and low price then it's great. If they don't then they won't buy it. Either way it's using containers how they were meant to be used, to make transport cheaper.
Again, I agree with you 100% on this new use of shipping containers. If your handy and would like a pool, it makes a nice project to build yourself. I built my first 16’x32’ pool myself using a concrete slab, and I then framed up 48” walls from PT 2”x6” at 16” O. C. THEN I just sheathed the inside with marine grade PT 5/8” plywood covered with 1/4” rolled poly foam ( available in 48” x 50’ rolls) spray 3M ADHESIVE on the plywood and press on your rolled foam. Do all your PVC plumbing on the outside and back fill the pool perimeter with soil and use diagonal 2” x 6” PT BRACES EVERY 48”. Buy a standard 16’ x32’ vinyl liner and set up a shop vac on the skimmer side. Fill slowly and press out all the wrinkles. Then double up the vinyl at the top plates of your wall and top with Cedar or Redwood. You can build a walkway on top of your walls edge like a small perimeter deck right on grade. Buy a filter system and you have a nice pool for under 7500.00 in today’s money. My first pool was built 35 years ago using the process described. I sold that house 20 years ago and the present owners still enjoy that pool today. It will last a lifetime if maintained well. Sorry for the book, I thought you might be interested in an alternative way of building a pool. ✌🏻🇺🇸
@@hamyncheese I saw your first comment and I just wanted to let you know that the pool I built was drawn out on plans for the Building inspector and a permit was filed for the construction. Plumbing, Electrical and construction Permits were pulled and all necessary inspections were done. It all passed the Code requirements with ease. It was overbuilt and 10 times stronger than any typical galvanized metal panels typically used on Inground pools. The concrete slab was poured over 48” footings with 4’x8’ metal reinforced mats. The slab could have been used to build a house on as they were dug in a 48” grid pattern. The best part was the concrete pour was done in a single pour. As the forms were filled it also filled the footings, making it a monolithic pad 8” thick. This is why it’s still in use to this day. The liner has been replaced recently I was told but it otherwise is rock solid. A 16’ x 32’ in ground pool can be built BETTER and stronger for LESS!! Thanks for the second comment. Now you know😃✌🏻🇺🇸✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ms. Carr, this is the second video I’ve watched from you. Absolutely helpful and informative. I’ve recently bought a new home and am moving to Florida.

The first disadvantage does not apply. The hydro-static load of the water is actually supported by the fiber glass not by the steel sheets. The fiber glass is durable material, but it loses its strength and ductility when you put it under sun heat. This due to fact that fiber glass gets heated slowly and gets cooled slowly which causes the material to loose its strength. This is a material science concept called Tempering.
2021: supply chain disruptions lead to a shortage of shipping containers and a 400% price increase for containers. Container-based pools just became a lot more expensive too??
I had this crazy idea. What if we bought shipping container apartments, gutted them, repainted them, then we used them to store large amounts of commercial products? If you look at the design of a shipping container apartment you will notice that they essentially just a big box full of stuff. They can be even be stacked on top of each other. Makes me wonder why no one's thought of this before.
This runs like an ad for a certain brand of endless pool! Why would height of a shipping container pool be limited to 4.5 feet? What's the problem with reinforcing the structure (not expensive at all)! Why is the outward pressure of the water in a partially in ground container ignored? Why in the world is a vinyl inlay considered expensive, when even the endless pools have one? You compare the prices of two complete off the shelf products, then in evaluating the pros and cons, you compare a DIY product with an off the shelf product! I could go on... I'm all for a balanced incisive view, but I'm also for a fair playing field if you're going to compare the different type of pools. For your information I neither work for, nor own any of the pools discussed. But having looked into this area a fair bit, I thought this was not a very fair comparison at all! For people that may actually be looking at purchasing one or the other, this comparison can be extremely misleading!
Most of her videos are like that. I don't even like any construction made with containers, but her arguments are always so skewed for no good reason, not even a subtle attempt to make a fair comparison.

It was a disappointment, because I could easily overpower the current and swim right into the wall. I think that one was more for the underwater treadmill use. But the cost.. for $80 a month, I get 3 lap pools, a locker room and free clean towel service. I can do that for 16 years before an Endless pool is cheaper., if you don't charge for the water and heater.
@@punpun3257 We actually have a lot of good pools in Virginia. The higher end ones with 50 meter laps are just not always open to the public. But yes, I got some outdoor laps today at my regular public club.
Great way to look at it. Why spend so much and have to worry about moving or maintenance
@@punpun3257 Any large city is going to have a gym with that stuff. You don't have to be in a nice place for it.
@@punpun3257 It really isn't. I live in the cheaper side of Portland and all the gyms here have it. A lot of east Portland was even considered Felony flats for a long time. It's far from rich.
@@punpun3257 Yes but that's not equal. Most people in the US are not living rich and tons are living in poverty. I did for most my life until recently.
The best pools are your neighbors pool - Lots of fun & very low maintenance.
None of my neighbours own pools. Also, I don’t know any of my neighbours lol.
One thing that people don't think about is the lifespan of the pool and what to do at the end of the economic life of the pool. I do a lot of swimming pool demolitions. I get two or three calls a week from people who want to get rid of their pools. It's sometimes more expensive to fix an old pool than to demolish it. It's not an asset.
but in a hot summer it is indeed an asset when you want to cool off plus helps cut down on acne when a teenager.
@It's Because not as fun plus swimming is great exercise.

Shipping containers became a fad, or a buzz word. They are absolutely great to buy as a shed, or.... storage container... but twisting them into houses or pools is just swimming upstream.
Same with the Euro-pallets, it's getting annoying, really
Why does TH-cam only show me your channel when you’re talking about shipping containers.. I subscribed and put the notifications on. Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot, Brent! I haven't figured out the TH-cam algorithm yet.

Ive lowered my expectations to a 10' diameter Bestway Pool. Its good for cooling off in the summer. Box it up until next season.
I'm going to stick with going to my local public pool. It is half indoor, half outdoor so it can be sealed off for warmth in winter, and left open in the summer. If I get there 1 hr before it closes I get a lane to myself, and the pool is surrounded by bushland so we get kookaburras and magpies. It is so beautiful and peaceful, there is nothing like swimming in peace and quiet while the birds go about their business as the sun sets and dusk falls.

*Fiberglass* pools are, by far, the most efficient and economical in the long run. Plus you're not stuck exclusively with the shipping-container dimensions.
Pretty much dig a hole. Set the pool into place and fill the area between the shell and the edges of the hole...

She really does here research. It’s rare to really learn so much on TH-cam. Thank you
Not really,
Those disadvantages she si talking about are easy to fix, there are cheap treatments against corrosion, the cracks int the fiver glass occur in other type of structures, and about the waterproofing, you have good waterproofing solutions that work well with metal, companies like ARDEX, Fester etc. I’m an architect and structural engineer and worked many years building large swimming pools for hotels and as a consultant.
Nope because she didn’t truly research
The reality is that pools at home are a rich people's thing. They have the money to just pay someone to maintain the pool. Sure an upper middle class guy can save for a pool, but he's going to have to maintain it himself. Just buy a hot tub for like $5k and call it a day.
Or just stop being poor, duh! /s
I've never considered a shipping container pool (or home) but gosh that does not stop me from being fascinated with these kinds of videos! Some comments said dream crusher but really, you're doing a great thing to tell people about the realities of things like this!
Fascination is free, owning a pool is not.
Do yr own research, she's made videos about container homes that are full of inconsistency and some with complete lies ...

I so badly want to disagree with you because I love the look, but you’re so right that they’re completely impractical. You also mention pretty much every disadvantage that it has that I never thought of. Lol
I'm sure that someone could make a shell for any other over-ground pool that makes it look like it was a shipping container once. It might cost a lot but enough money tends to make (nearly) everything a possibility ;)
You could easily contract someone to build you an on-ground pool that retains that same look using traditional/conventional materials and come up with that motif you are interested in while avoiding all the disadvantages at the same time
This is great content. It cleared my mind on having it above the ground if I choose to have a container pool. You can always build a deck around anyway :)
You just saved me tons of time, energy, and MONEY!
The quality of your video and amount of research you put in is amazing! Your channel will grow big very soon.
Also, the fact people would put these pools underground is hilarious! Let's put a fiberglass pool into a shipping container and then put the whole thing into the ground.
Why not just put a fiberglass pool right in the ground and skip the stupid shipping container?
Well because then you can't virtue signal about your amazing recycled shipping container in the ground...
Second video I've seen, both about shipping containers. Love your work so far so definitely subbing
Practicality and maintenance is everything in life. Thank you for your wisdom.
I don't know what shipping containers did to this nice lady, but whatever it was, she's made it a personal vendetta to crush their hopes and dreams. lol
Ms Carr provides cogent and effective arguments pro and con for shipping container use outside of the original intended use for such items.

Honestly; seeing a house with a pool is a huge turn off for me (from an ownership perspective).
I see a pool and instead of wonderful relaxation, I see *money pit*. Can't swim in it in the winter (not a cold [read: doesn't get below freezing] climate where I am, but outdoor swimming isn't something I do 6 months of the year) And the other 6 months of the year I wouldn't use it every day.
So instead of something nice, I see 12 months of maintenance for 30 days of use per year. Not coincidentally we get 4 weeks of leave every year ... funnily enough I can just go on holidays somewhere that has a pool.
growing up in arizona, I disagree. That being said, seeing in ground pools in places like NY or illinois seems stupid and lavish. As for your personal opinion on using it, thats entirely up to you. I knew people that never used their pool but I also knew of people who would use it at least twice a week for 8 months out of the year. The maintence wasnt bad for those people because if you did a small bit of skimming once a week before using it, it would never become a huge issue. Biggest thing would be cleaning the limescale off once a year.
I see pool as money makers lol.u can rent out ur place as a venue place for large group people bday etc. Easy money per day rent. They love pools.

I like to imagine she has some tragic origin story containing Shipping Containers.
Like a Shipping Containers shot her parents in a dark ally and she vowed from that day to get her revenge.
20k for a tiny shipping container or you could pay a quarter as much and get a massive above ground pool that lets you do laps or relax in and is pretty cheap to maintain.
where do you live that an inground pool is cheap to install and maintain
@@kronickingpin I clearly said above ground
Why would people want to buy some repurposed corrugated scrap metal to swim or live in?
Honestly the only thing shipping containers are actually good for is shipping
Should you make a pool out of something that rusts when exposed to water? Take a wild guess.
You know I came across your channel by accident as I'm hoping to buy a house soon but you have made architecture really interesting. So I have subscribed :)

Really... she makes me feel like I’m not as smart as I think, and maybe I could be doing more with my life!
So expensive for a pool I can't even stretch my arms out in lol.
I used to want an infinity pool as a kid but growing up, I realized I would have to clean and maintain it or pay someone to do it which I’m not a fan of lol
I build a heated tub myself for a fraction of the price..
I took 2x2x2x2 pallets in the shape of a rectangle, and 4 on the ground..
Then added a plastic sheets on the inside and outside. With 4 steel bars surrounding it for strength..
That only costed me $250.
Next I added a copper pipe that went from the pool into a fire, and back into the pool.
Total costs for a heated hottub was only $500. It would easily fit 10 people.
I should have recorded it for youtube, but I didn't.. Will do next time. No need to spend 10k or 20k!
Thanks, very informative. Love the pros and cons. I love your accent!
Why Shipping Container pool ?
ADVANTAGES:
- Shipping container brings stunning corrugated look
- Highly customizable as per user preference
- Easy & Fast to fix and dismantle.
- The size is lengthier though it's 20ft & 40ft is way more.
- Water jets can also be installed in container pools.
DISADVANTAGES:
- Expensive
Excellent information. The lack of insulation in a shipping container pool is a key factor that most people will overlook. In a hot country like Australia, it is probably not as much an issue. But in cold climates the amount of energy needed to keep a pool warm is a big cost issue.
Install solar panels
Get real, even when we lived in TEXAS we did not heat our pool in winter! Way expensive!
@@karenwoytowich1140 Live in the DFW area. Pool owner and can confirm we use our pool from April to November. Heating is mega bucks so inside during the winter for us.
Big deal, so you have to insulate it just like you would any other pool!
Brilliant review, brought me back to earth with a bump I probably needed
So, like, would a shipping container make a good shed? Since storing stuff is what they were made for?
I would buy one ....when they stop ripping people off with their outrageous pricing !!
Ya know what else is affordable and easily moved ? One of those above ground pools you see in just about ever backyard in every rural area
This channel killed my tiny house fantasy. I never heard of a shipping container pool until this title crossed my eyes. For an entire minute it seemed like a great idea. Tell me something. How do you feel about shipping containers for shipping? Are they at least good for that or would it be better to use something else?
Love this video. Thank you for teach us this
Thanks for another highly informative video. 👍
I am always excited to learn something interesting from you with each upload.
I'd love to have an endless pool but I'd settle for a sensory deprivation tank. Heck, even a large tub would be great.

Belinda has turned being the proverbial "buzz kill" into an art form worthy of the Debbie Downer Olympic Gold Medal and boy is it delicious! I just eat this stuff up, and you get to learn about topics and the often overlooked complexities of designing/engineering/building things. Nothing but a win. =)
i've a cheaper alternative: pools made from pond plastic sheet of holes dug in the earth, size: at least 3,5m diameter by 1m depth- just have to put on the swimming harness (30$ ?)on your feet & fix it on any tree or pole for swimming the 4 styles as you like, i already tried it in the river. its producer is nabaiji, guess you can find it on YT its presentation. technical equipment of any pool better with filterpump & solar heater (PE) of course.
There's nothing wrong with an affordable above-ground pool. Just build an attractive, functional deck above and screen the nuts-and-bolts below with landscaping.
I didn't even knew about this alternatives! Thank you very much for sharing the info!
Thanks, Walter!
Doesn't sound right:
1. Steel shipping containers are not strong enough to hold in the force of water, but the shown pool is made with fiberglass inserts. Fiberglass inserts are _insanely strong_, there's a reason boat hulls are made using polyester.
2. When lowered into the ground, the earth is pushing in the pool, surely that is balanced out by the water pushing out. Don't underestimate the power of shipping containers either surely when they are re-enforced.
3. Insulation is a matter of implementation, if you have a fiberglass shell and a shipping container, at least go the extra mile and fill up the voids with insulation :)
Anyhoe, the 20' shipping container option is going to have no structural issues whatsoever - it's overbuilt if anything.
Yes, a 10,000L of water weights 10 tonnes, but the walls of the container are only subjected to a stress relative to the pressure head of the water. So a 1.5 metre deep pool only has a stress of 14.7kPa or 2.13psi on the bottom of its walls, meaning a pool only needs to be as strong as an air tank rated to 2.13psi. The fibreglass shell is easily enough to hold the water in sideways. The steel container only holds the shell up off the ground.
Half of the arguments were about problems that the company had already solved. They obviously had the fiber glass lining figured out and the structural reinforcement was included in the price.. The only valid argument against them (before we went into the apples/oranges comparison with endless pools) was insulation. And that obviously depends on the climate.
Is cool and everything but a cheap pool sometimes they go as low as $14,000 out the door.
you crushed my dreams... SUBSCRIBED!
Containers are designed to transport goods. Pools are difficult to transport. If you put a pool in a container it becomes easy to transport.
These people are literally using a shopping container for its intended purpose. No it doesn't make a great pool but it is the easiest pool to transport.
it's funny, people are trying to reuse shipping containers to be more environmentally friendly. Now they are being used as pools... having tons of clean water just to play in is not environmentally friendly, there's nothing that you can do to make pools environmentally friendly, that's an oxymoron. if the pool is heated then there the energy cost. the pool has to be kept clean with all sort of cleaners that spill out into the environment.
You always put back realistic into the mirage. This is why i love your content Ms Belinda!
Thank you!
Just buy a 40 yard dumpster from your local landfill company. Way cheaper.
I'm watching this with hardly enough pennies in my piggy bank to buy the twenty dollar wal mart kiddie pools
I feel like Shipping Container Pools are trying to be a catch-all everything solution and competitor to all the specialised options out there - it may be cheaper than the Endless Pool but I would rather buy a specilised piece of equipment such as an Endless Pool for exercise than buying a shipping container pool and a bunch of add-ons to make it into that exercise equipment. Same with a spa, etc.
Everyone is obsessed with shipping containers - I was in interior design school (dropped out due to being bullied by instructors for being partially colour blind) when the shipping container obsession was only just starting and it reeked of finding a solution to a problem that wasn't understood properly (metal waste from used/damaged shipping containers) by making it work on Pinterest and Instagram.
Shipping container pools are designed to be easy to transport. They are very good at that.
They don't claim to be the best pool.
@@mabamabam No one said they claimed to be the best pool. They're just low quality by virtue of their starting material. These shipping container pools are still being priced as luxury items, so they're expecting customers to pay premium prices for an objectively worse above ground pool just because it's "easier to transport" in the event of a move. Which is kinda ridiculous.
@@qaasi95 the point isn't that you might move house. The point is that you have to get the pool to your house in the first place. And even more to the point the company can now get their pools made in china a ship them to Australia cheaply.
They aren't very expensive at all. Of course a pool in Australia costs more than one in the southern US, everything in Australia costs more because they pay workers properly.
@@mabamabam ???? That's literally even stupider than I thought. This sounds like a supply chain gambit. Take advantage of an oversupply of containers to ship substandard above ground pools cheaply (cause they pack well and are cheap to manufacture) and overcharge for the novelty. I was looking at US based suppliers when I was researching prices cause I live in the States. I'm sure I could find cheaper ones if I looked even harder, but I couldn't find any below 20,000 for medium sized containers, and most were much more expensive.
@@qaasi95 not seeing how it's stupid. If the customer values the ease of install and low price then it's great. If they don't then they won't buy it.
Either way it's using containers how they were meant to be used, to make transport cheaper.
jesus at that price and size I'd honestly rather get a cheapo above ground pool from amazon.
Everything about swimming pools is stupid but then I want an airplane so who am I to judge.
Again, I agree with you 100% on this new use of shipping containers. If your handy and would like a pool, it makes a nice project to build yourself. I built my first 16’x32’ pool myself using a concrete slab, and I then framed up 48” walls from PT 2”x6” at 16” O. C. THEN I just sheathed the inside with marine grade PT 5/8” plywood covered with 1/4” rolled poly foam ( available in 48” x 50’ rolls) spray 3M ADHESIVE on the plywood and press on your rolled foam. Do all your PVC plumbing on the outside and back fill the pool perimeter with soil and use diagonal
2” x 6” PT BRACES EVERY 48”.
Buy a standard 16’ x32’ vinyl liner and set up a shop vac on the skimmer side. Fill slowly and press out all the wrinkles. Then double up the vinyl at the top plates of your wall and top with Cedar or Redwood. You can build a walkway on top of your walls edge like a small perimeter deck right on grade.
Buy a filter system and you have a nice pool for under 7500.00 in today’s money. My first pool was built 35 years ago using the process described. I sold that house 20 years ago and the present owners still enjoy that pool today. It will last a lifetime if maintained well. Sorry for the book,
I thought you might be interested in an alternative way of building a pool. ✌🏻🇺🇸
deleted old dumb comment so that I could say this instead: Thank you for the description and assessment of your pool construction!
@@hamyncheese
I saw your first comment and I just wanted to let you know that the pool I built was drawn out on plans for the Building inspector and a permit was filed for the construction. Plumbing, Electrical and construction Permits were pulled and all necessary inspections were done. It all passed the Code requirements with ease. It was overbuilt and 10 times stronger than any typical galvanized metal panels typically used on Inground pools. The concrete slab was poured over 48” footings with 4’x8’ metal reinforced mats. The slab could have been used to build a house on as they were dug in a 48” grid pattern. The best part was the concrete pour was done in a single pour. As the forms were filled it also filled the footings, making it a monolithic pad 8” thick.
This is why it’s still in use to this day. The liner has been replaced recently I was told but it otherwise is rock solid.
A 16’ x 32’ in ground pool can be built BETTER and stronger for LESS!!

The first disadvantage does not apply. The hydro-static load of the water is actually supported by the fiber glass not by the steel sheets. The fiber glass is durable material, but it loses its strength and ductility when you put it under sun heat. This due to fact that fiber glass gets heated slowly and gets cooled slowly which causes the material to loose its strength. This is a material science concept called Tempering.
Great video. I loved it. Yes it costs lot of money to maintain any swimming pool. Been a victim
2021: supply chain disruptions lead to a shortage of shipping containers and a 400% price increase for containers. Container-based pools just became a lot more expensive too??
It seems like that would depend on what percentage of the cost the half container is. It looks like a lot of the cost comes from modifying it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️Love your channel! I come here to learn & relax!✨✨✨✨
There does seem to be an obsession with using shipping containers for other projects.
When I was little, I had a pool that was inflatable!
Cheap. Easy to maintain. Simple to store away.
I had this crazy idea. What if we bought shipping container apartments, gutted them, repainted them, then we used them to store large amounts of commercial products? If you look at the design of a shipping container apartment you will notice that they essentially just a big box full of stuff. They can be even be stacked on top of each other. Makes me wonder why no one's thought of this before.

Can we even call it a swimming pool? I might as well swim in my kitchen sink.
Pool comes in original shipping package
really stupid idea anyhow...
Can we turn a shipping container into a ship
This runs like an ad for a certain brand of endless pool!
Why would height of a shipping container pool be limited to 4.5 feet?
What's the problem with reinforcing the structure (not expensive at all)!
Why is the outward pressure of the water in a partially in ground container ignored?
Why in the world is a vinyl inlay considered expensive, when even the endless pools have one?
You compare the prices of two complete off the shelf products, then in evaluating the pros and cons, you compare a DIY product with an off the shelf product!
I could go on...
I'm all for a balanced incisive view, but I'm also for a fair playing field if you're going to compare the different type of pools.
For your information I neither work for, nor own any of the pools discussed. But having looked into this area a fair bit, I thought this was not a very fair comparison at all!
For people that may actually be looking at purchasing one or the other, this comparison can be extremely misleading!
Most of her videos are like that. I don't even like any construction made with containers, but her arguments are always so skewed for no good reason, not even a subtle attempt to make a fair comparison.
