It’s 100 degrees in New York City today, which has me daydreaming about swimming in a refreshing pool—what I’d give to be diving, floating, playing games, and doing handstands. Personally, I don’t have an outdoor space, but if you do, Amazon makes it possible to buy a prefabricated pool that’ll look luxurious in your backyard.
There’s none of the complicated construction that comes with installing an ordinary pool. These shipping container pools can be placed above ground, in ground, or on a sloped landscape to give the illusion of a built-in pool. You can even put the pool in a deck or on a roof—it can even be moved at the end of the season. The best part? They can be completely customized to fit your space and style.
Depending on your budget, Amazon’s pool range between $8,000 and $11,000—of course your final cost will depend on your customization. You can choose your size and shape, plus customize the color of the tiles or add on a ladder, steps, or windows.
On average, installing an in-ground pool costs around $65,909, according to Angi. While an above-ground pool can cost much less, they don’t deliver the same modern aesthetic. Amazon’s shipping container pools look sleek and stylish without the hefty price tag or lengthy installation. Some styles even allow you to add on water features.
While you might not be swimming laps in these pools, they’re ideal for lounging and floating. Picture the kids playing games or the adults sipping cocktails at your next barbecue.
