The 20ft Shipping Container Pool delivers all the benefits of a traditional in-ground swimming pool without the massive excavation costs, months of construction, or intrusive landscape disruption. Designed specifically for UK residential gardens, boutique hotels, and glamping sites, this 20-foot pool arrives as a complete, pre-plumbed unit ready to plug in, fill, and swim.
Constructed from single-trip ISO Corten steel containers, each pool undergoes structural reinforcement, anti-corrosion marine priming, and complete thermal insulation before receiving its high-grade fiberglass pool liner.

Integrated Mechanical Bay: Built-in lockable equipment compartment housing the circulation pump, multi-port sand filter, and automatic chemical dosing system.

In most UK residential areas, above-ground container pools fall under Permitted Development rights as temporary outdoor structures. However, if your property is located in a Conservation Area, National Park, or Within the boundary of a Listed Building, or if you plan to fully sink the pool in-ground, we recommend checking with your local council’s planning department.
Equipped with our energy-efficient 9kW eco heat pump and insulated spray-foam walls, a 20ft container pool typically warms up at a rate of 1°C to 2°C per hour, easily maintaining water temperatures between 26°C and 30°C.
Yes. Our 20ft container pools can be installed above-ground, semi-sunken into a sloping garden, or fully in-ground. In-ground installations require retaining walls and proper perimeter drainage to protect the steel exterior.
