Who’s Ready To Dive Into This Crazy Shipping Container Pool?

We have seen shipping containers converted to modern homes, off-the-grid bunkers, and even urban farms. But Canadian company Modpools is taking things to a whole other level, utilizing the “structural rigidity” of a modified cargo container to provide users with a “relocatable hot pool.”

An intriguing alternative to a traditional in-ground pool, the Modpool relies on the strength of the container to help hold in water while offering unique features like side windows. If that’s not enough, a divider can quickly convert it from a single pool into a hot tub / pool combination.

Furthermore, the shipping container pool features a clever side window, which makes the pool feel much less claustrophobic, especially when its built into a raised patio like shown in the top photo.

The company boast quick set up (just minutes after its placed) and the ability to increase water temperature by 86º in a single hour. An Ultraviolet system keeps the water clean, and the entire unit, including the heater, jets, and lights, can be controlled from your smartphone with an app.

Priced at $26,900 (for the 8′ x 20′ model), the Modpool costs about half of what a traditional in-ground pool would cost you. And unlike a traditional pool, if you decide to move, you can bring your shipping container pool with you to your next place of residence.
