Process
The container pool
installation process
One crew and one point of contact from the first site visit to the first swim.
We are a full-service container pool company. That means we handle the design, coordinate the shell build with our manufacturer partners, prep the site, set the shell by crane, and build the surrounding deck — all with one crew and one point of contact. Homeowners in Dallas, Austin, Houston, and across the Hill Country hire us because they want a builder who owns the whole process, not just a crane operator.
Design & planning
Every project starts with a site assessment: access for a crane, grade, sun, sight lines from the house, and how you actually want to use the water. From that we spec container length, depth, above-ground versus in-ground placement, and options like a glass window, heater, swim jets, and lighting. You'll see a real layout before anything is fabricated.
Delivery & logistics
Your shell is built to our spec by our manufacturer partners, and we manage everything from there — quality checks against our standards, transport scheduling, and timing delivery so the finished pool arrives the moment your site is ready for it. No shell sitting in your yard for weeks, no surprises on install day.
Site prep
Before the shell arrives, we prep the foundation, run electrical and plumbing rough-ins, and stage the crane path. We keep the same crew on your project from start to finish, so nothing gets lost between trades. This is what keeps the on-site timeline short and the final result clean.
Crane & installation
On install day, a crane sets the fully finished shell into place. We connect plumbing and electrical, backfill or build the deck around it, and handle any final grading. Because the heavy fabrication work is already done, most installs are wrapped in days rather than weeks.
How a container pool project runs, start to finish
Two to four weeks on-site, typically, once your shell is built and delivered — plus partner build lead time up front. A container pool build is more like ordering a finished piece of equipment than pouring a structure in place, and the order matters. Here's the shape of it.
1. Consultation & site assessment
We come to you anywhere in Texas — Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, or the Hill Country. We walk the property, check crane access and grade, talk about how you want to use the water, and tell you plainly what fits the lot. No charge, no pressure, and we've steered people toward a smaller container or a different placement before when the site called for it.
2. Design & fabrication
We lock in container length, depth, placement, and options — glass window, heater, swim jets, lighting, saltwater or chlorine — and our manufacturer partners fabricate the shell to our spec while your site is being prepped. This is where the permits get pulled and the fixed scope and number get set.
3. Site prep & crane install
Foundation work happens on your lot while the shell is being finished off-site. On install day, a crane sets the shell into place, we connect plumbing and electrical, and backfill or deck around it. Because the heavy work is already done, this stage typically runs a few days rather than weeks.
4. Fill, walkthrough, and first swim
We fill the pool, balance the water, walk you through the equipment pad and any heater or lighting controls, and check back after the first few weeks of use. Most clients are swimming within days of the crane pick.
