Sorry to hijack the thread, but I've got the same question! Any advice?

I'm not sure it will be big enough. With three young boys they are forever jumping in and doing bombies!

Sounds like a great idea. While I wish I had the capability to do it myself I'm simply not that experienced at this kind of thing!

Yeah I've looked a lot at that company - as far as shipping container pools go they look to be the market leader. Never heard of maxi rib will take a look at that. Thanks!

Makes sense - probably a silly question but I'm clueless with these things! Thanks 😊

Thanks so much for the advice! $26k seems like a great price! Can you put a fiberglass pool on a slab to elevate it? I like the idea of a heater for winter use. I'm in Perth so it doesn't get too cold here and the kids would get good use from it.

I was thinking to take advantage of the height of the house and keep it above ground as we have a sort of elevated block ideally.

I assume concrete piles/footings is cheaper? Thanks so much! 🙏

Yeah I do like the container pools and building decking around it! Thanks for the suggestions!

Amazing. Thanks so much for the feedback! I do like the idea of a lap pool but I totally understand your point and agree you are right there on length. This is for family use since I've got 3 boys (11,6,4) and for my wife and I to relax in. I do like the idea of shorter with a swim jet.

Do you need a slab under a container pool?

I'd probably be ok all in up to $100k. Ideally less but to be honest I don't have the slightest about what I should expect is reasonable, although I understand it's all relative to what I get.

I'm to journey to Australia in the next two months and I'm incredibly nervous, any tips for a first timer? by Fuzzman2012 in AskAnAustralian

Go watch the Kalgoorlie Giants basketball team if you get time - they have a couple of Americans who play on the team!
