1. Size and Configuration
Container pools come in standard shipping container sizes, which actually work beautifully for backyard installations. The most popular options are the 10-foot plunge pool, the 20-foot lap and leisure pool, and the 40-foot extended pool for larger properties. We can also connect two containers to create a wider or more uniquely shaped pool for homeowners who want something a little different. Whatever size you choose, we engineer the structure to handle the water load safely and to last for decades.

2. Installation Style
You have three main options when it comes to how your pool sits in your yard. Above ground installations are the fastest and most affordable, and they look stunning when paired with good decking and landscaping. Semi-inground builds give you a lower profile with easier entry and a cleaner visual connection to the surrounding yard. Fully inground installations deliver the most seamless, high-end result, with the pool sitting flush with the deck or lawn just like a traditional built pool. Our team will help you work out which option suits your yard, your soil type, and your budget.

3. Interior Finish and Liner
The inside of your pool sets the tone for the whole look. We offer a range of interior finish options including white, light grey, charcoal, and deep blue liners. Lighter finishes give the water a bright, tropical feel. Darker finishes create a dramatic, resort-style look with rich, deep water color. We can walk you through samples and help you choose the finish that works best with your yard and your home exterior.

4. Exterior Cladding and Color
The outside of the container can be finished in a way that either blends into your backyard or makes a bold design statement. Options include painted steel in a range of colors, timber cladding for a natural warm look, composite cladding for a low-maintenance modern finish, and rendered or Colorbond finishes for homeowners who want something truly custom. We can match your fencing, your home exterior, or a completely new direction altogether.

5. Heating and Temperature Control
A heated container pool is a pool you actually use all year round. We offer solar heating panels for eco-conscious homeowners, electric heat pumps for reliable year-round temperature control, and gas heating for fast warm-up times in colder climates. Many of our customers combine solar and heat pump systems for the best of both worlds. We will help you choose the right heating solution for your climate and your usage habits.

6. Filtration and Water Care
Every container pool we build comes with a quality filtration system as standard. For homeowners who want a lower-maintenance experience, we offer saltwater chlorination systems that are gentler on skin and eyes and require less day-to-day management than traditional chlorine pools. We also offer mineral water systems for those who want the softest, most spa-like water quality possible.

7. Decking and Surrounds
The deck around your pool is just as important as the pool itself. We work with a range of decking materials including treated timber, composite decking, concrete, and natural stone. Whether you want a simple entry platform or a full wraparound entertaining deck with built-in seating and shade structures, we can design and build it as part of your overall pool package. A well-designed deck is what takes a container pool from a great feature to a complete outdoor living space.

8. Lighting
The right lighting turns your pool into a nighttime destination. We offer underwater LED lighting in a range of colors and effects, perimeter lighting along the deck and surrounds, and smart lighting systems you can control from your phone. Whether you want something subtle and atmospheric or bright and vibrant for evening parties, we have a lighting package that works for your lifestyle.

9. Water Features and Extras
For those who want a little something extra, we can add water features including overflow edges, cascading waterfalls, deck jets, and bubbler systems. We also offer pool covers and automatic cover systems, pool fencing to meet local safety regulations, outdoor shower setups, and integration with sauna or wellness spaces for homeowners building a full backyard retreat.
