Summertime Easy and the Swimming is
You won’t be able to contain your excitement for container pools
Picture this -
it’s the first week of the April holidays and you get to spend your hard-earned time off with the family. Our weird and wonderful weather has decided that April is the best time for some Dezemba weather with temperatures on the grumpy side of 30°C and Eskom is excited to announce that the “4” in Level 4 stands for “forever”. Look, at this point, you have two choices; you can either move to Canada and never have to deal with a heatwave again, or you can invest in a pool (and let’s be honest, that Maple Leaf will just never look as cool as a Springbokkie on the jersey).
The Nuts and Bolts of Container Pools Not only does a shipping container pool save in time, labour costs and materials, but you can take your chill wherever you may roam. If you situate your container pool above ground and without any permanent structures, you can take it with you when you move!

Shipping Shopping
A shipping containers’ useful life is between 20 and 25 years but most containers are retired before hitting the 10-year mark. You can buy a secondhand container for anywhere between R8000 and R16 000. The average price of a new, traditional pool is between R 65 000 and R 120 000.
How They Get from Shipping to Splashing There are one or two steps before you can float your woes away in your new container pool. Get the advice of an engineer or a draftsman to make sure you placate the building regulators before placing your new container pool in your yard. Choose a quick and easy above-ground model where you only need to pour a foundation as big as your chosen container or by integrating the pool into your deck. The corners of the container will need to be reinforced, all seams welded shut and a waterproof coating applied. Just like with traditional swimming pools, your container pool will need a filtration system to ensure you don’t end up with a really fancy koi pond. Remember to equip your container pool with safety gates and a custom pool cover.

There are many local companies ready and willing to make your container pool dreams a reality:
Absolute containers This company has over 30 years of experience converting containers into classrooms, mobile clinics, and offices. Their team has a range of skills and experience from architecture, construction, engineering, interior decorating, alternative energy and more.
Innovative Modular Concepts IMC is probably one of the most forwardthinking container companies as they integrate effective technology like 3D renderings to help you visualise your pool. They also offer the most extensive list of eco integrations in their container homes, which they will apply to your pool to make sure you are leaving the smallest footprint when creating your swimming pool dreams.
Big Box Containers Big Box Containers is a company with a big footprint as well as a big heart. They are one of the biggest container companies in South Africa, which means that you are assured that you will get the best prices and expert team members working on realising your swimming pool dreams.
Jump in, the water’s fine!
The holidays are drawing closer, and if you start your enquiries now, you might even have your new container pool installed before the kids get bored. Check out the HOMEMAKERS website for even more home inspiration.
