BUILT TO ORDER • SHIPPED NATIONWIDE • INSTALLED IN TEXAS

BUILT TO SWIM IN.

A shipping container is the starting point, not the finished product. Every pool we sell is cut, reinforced and finished to order by our fabrication partner, then shipped ready to set, wherever you live. In Texas, our own crew installs it and builds the outdoor space around it.

  • Made to order in Texas — shipped anywhere in the US.
  • Six sizes — 8' to 16' wide, 20' to 60' long.
  • Full install and decking — by our own crew in Texas.

Why steel works.

A container was engineered to carry tons of cargo across oceans. That gives a pool a rigid, one-piece shell before anyone pours a yard of concrete. Most of the work happens in the shop, not your backyard. That means less digging, less mud and a much shorter install than a poured pool.

But a container isn't a pool until it's built into one. The roof comes off and the walls carry water pressure they were never designed for. Every opening for a window, step or equipment bay weakens the steel unless it's framed back. That's the part we take seriously, and it's what the rest of this page is about.

Six sizes. One that fits your yard.

Standard builds hold about 4 feet of water. Custom builds can go deeper — up to 9 feet — depending on the model and placement. 16'-wide pools join two containers side by side into one open pool. Pool prices are for the pool itself; your proposal adds delivery to your address, plus site work, installation and anything around the pool if we're installing it. Not sure which size fits? No worries, get started here and we can help you decide which container size will work best.

Above, below or somewhere in between.

How the pool sits on your lot changes the look, the budget and the site work. Your slope often makes the call for you.

Above ground

The steel is the statement. It's the least excavation and the fastest install, and it's the best way to show off a viewing window. It needs a level, engineered pad, steps up to the water and a barrier that meets code.

Partially recessed

Sunk partway into grade, so the coping lands at a comfortable sitting height. This is often the smartest choice on a sloped yard: the high side goes in the ground and the low side shows the steel. Buried steel gets extra exterior protection, plus a drainage plan so water never sits against it.

Fully in-ground

Flush with your patio or lawn, the way most people picture a backyard pool. It takes the most excavation, backfill and drainage work, and the most corrosion protection, because the whole outside of the shell meets soil.

Deck-integrated

The pool sits inside a raised deck, so you step from the deck straight into the water. This is our specialty. We design the deck framing with the pool from day one so the two are tied together properly, not patched together afterward. Wood, composite or steel.

Make it yours.

Pick what matters to you. We'll tell you what works with your size and placement, and we'll price each one before anything is built.

The window everyone asks about.

A viewing window is the feature that stops people mid-sentence. It also takes the most care to build. Cutting a hole in a wall that's holding back thousands of gallons isn't a weekend project. The opening gets a welded steel frame that carries the load the missing wall used to carry. The glass is made to that exact opening by a glass manufacturer and sealed with a system designed for underwater use.

We size and place the window with you during design, so you can see where it lands in the 3D model and from the patio before we order anything. We also plan how the glass will be reached for cleaning and maintenance, because a window you can't keep clear isn't much of a window.

What happens in the shop.

Your pool is fabricated to order in Texas. Nothing sits in inventory. Current shop time is about 60 days per pool.

  1. 1

    Inspect the container

    Every container is checked for dents, rust and wall condition before it's accepted. A bad box never becomes a pool.

  2. 2

    Lay it out to your design

    The openings, steps, window and equipment bay are marked on the steel from the approved drawings, not eyeballed.

  3. 3

    Cut and reinforce

    Openings are cut, then framed back with welded tube, channel and plate so the shell carries the full weight of the water.

  4. 4

    Build the details

    Steps, benches, the spa divider, coping, brackets and any stairs or rails are welded in.

  5. 5

    Protect the steel

    The outside is blasted or cleaned, then primed and coated. The inside gets a waterproof pool finish.

  6. 6

    Fit the systems

    Plumbing penetrations, returns, drains and light niches are set before the pool leaves the shop.

Inside, outside, and the Texas sun.

Steel needs two different kinds of protection, and they aren't the same thing.

  • Inside (the water side): a pool-rated waterproof finish or liner that keeps water off the steel entirely. This is what you swim against, and it's what protects the shell.
  • Outside (the weather side): primer and an exterior-grade coating in the color you choose. Recessed pools get an extra below-grade coating wherever steel meets soil.

Will it rust? Not if the coatings are kept up. That's the honest answer. A coated, maintained shell holds up for decades. A scratch left open for a year doesn't. We show you exactly what to check each season, and we can handle touch-ups for you.

Everything that makes it a pool.

The steel shell is only part of the job. A finished pool also needs filtration, a pump, supply and return plumbing, safe suction fittings, lighting, electrical controls, bonding and grounding, sanitizing and, if you want them, heat and jets. Your proposal lists every one of these line by line, with who installs it. Electrical and plumbing tie-ins are done by licensed trades and inspected.

We start with your yard, not a catalog.

A 40-foot steel pool can't be squeezed through a side gate on delivery day, so we work out the hard parts before anything is ordered. Before you sign, we check:

  • Access: gate and driveway width, overhead lines, trees and where a crane can set up.
  • Ground: slope, soil, drainage and how much leveling or fill the pad needs.
  • Rules: setbacks, easements, HOA approval and your city's permit and barrier requirements. On lake lots this includes the flood or easement line.
  • Utilities: where power, water and the equipment pad will go, and how far each run is.
  • Layout: the pool, deck, patio and equipment placed together on your real lot in our design tool, so you see the plan before you buy.

Delivery day.

By the time the truck arrives, the pad is set, the trenches are dug and the utilities are waiting. The crane lifts the pool over the house or fence and sets it on the pad. We level it, align it and make the connections. The deck, steps, finish work and fill follow over the next two to four weeks.

Delivery and crane pricing depend on distance, pool size, road and yard access, overhead obstructions and how far the crane has to reach. All of it is in your proposal before you commit.

Outside Texas? We ship it ready to set.

We ship finished pools anywhere in the US. Your pool leaves the shop fully fabricated, finished and plumbed to the equipment connections. It arrives on a flatbed, ready for a local crane to set. Before it ships, your contractor gets our prep packet: pad specs, pool weight and lift points, plumbing and electrical connection points, and the barrier and drainage notes for your placement. We stay on call through the set and start-up, and your first-fill walk-through happens by video.

From photo to first swim.

Most Texas installs take about three months from signed proposal to first swim, and the longest part happens in the shop while we prep your yard.

  1. 1

    Send us your yard

    Your address and a few photos are enough to start. We usually reply the same day.

  2. 2

    Design it on your lot

    We place your pool, deck and equipment on your property to scale and show it to you in 3D and from your back door. Change the size, slide it, turn it, add the spa. It's easy to change now, when it costs nothing.

  3. 3

    Get one clear proposal

    Pool, features, site work, delivery, install and decking, each with a price and the name of whoever does it. No allowances hiding the real number.

  4. 4

    Fabrication starts

    Your pool goes into the shop, which runs about 60 days. Meanwhile we pull permits and handle HOA paperwork.

  5. 5

    We prep the site

    Excavation, pad, drainage, utilities and the equipment pad, timed to be ready the week your pool is.

  6. 6

    Delivery and set

    Crane, placement, leveling and connections.

  7. 7

    Finish and fill

    Decking, steps, fencing, start-up, final inspections and a walk-through on how to run it. Then you swim.

Shipping only? Steps 1 to 4 are the same. Instead of steps 5 to 7, we send your contractor the prep packet, schedule the freight to match their site work, and walk you through start-up by video.

You have one point of contact from your first text to your final walk-through.

No surprises. Here's who does what.

Most pool companies bury this in fine print. We'd rather put it up front. Your proposal will match this list line for line.

Who builds it: your pool is fabricated by our Texas fabrication partner, a dedicated steel shop. We design it, manage it, install it and build everything around it. Licensed electricians and plumbers handle tie-ins. When a project needs stamped engineering, a licensed engineer provides it. You deal with one company the whole way.

Wherever you swim.

  • Backyards and narrow lots: an 8'-wide pool fits where a traditional pool won't.
  • Lake houses: a raised or deck-integrated pool works well where digging is limited near the water.
  • Ranches and acreage: a swim or cool-down spot that arrives finished, with no concrete crew driving out for weeks. Ideal for remote properties anywhere in the country.
  • Short-term rentals: a listing photo guests remember, and a pool that books nights.
  • Commercial and hospitality: patios, boutique hotels, event venues and wellness spaces.

Start with three things.

You don't need plans or measurements to get started. Send us:

  1. Your property address
  2. Three or four photos of where the pool would go, including the gate or driveway we'd come through
  3. A rough size and budget, or just "not sure yet"

If you have more, we'll gladly take it: a survey or plat, HOA rules, inspiration photos, must-have features and a target swim date.

Questions this page answers.

01

Can a pool fit through my gate?

Usually not, and that's normal. It goes over the house or fence by crane. We confirm crane reach during the site review, so it's settled before you commit.

02

Can I add a viewing window to any size?

Most sizes and placements, yes. Above-ground and partially recessed pools show it off best. We'll tell you during design if your layout doesn't suit one.

03

Do you ship outside Texas?

Yes, anywhere in the US. Our crew installs in Texas. Everywhere else, a local contractor and crane set the pool using our prep packet, with us on call. Choose “Just the pool” when you start planning.

04

What does shipping cost?

It depends on distance, pool size and access at your address. We quote freight up front in your proposal, never as a surprise at delivery.
