Some pool professionals recommend adding an extra layer of comfort and protection between your pool and the vinyl liner.

Question 5

What are the disadvantages of container pools?

Accepted Answer

•

The disadvantages of container pools come down to flexibility and customization. Shipping containers come in standard sizes, so the sizes and shapes are limited. They also have a very distinctive look, which may not suit the aesthetic of your backyard.

Beyond that, while container pools are more affordable than in-ground pools, certain models can be more expensive. This includes the cost to heat your pool, since the metal walls have more heat transfer than other types of pools (which some brands circumvent with insulation).
