I’m just an old lady but here’s what I would have done: weld it all shut and cut your pipe fittings out and your skimmer intake hole. dig it out and drop it in the ground. Sandblasting it first. Then close cell insulation spray it, and maybe shoot a fiberglass layer over that. Then order a liner. No leaks and you have a solid base, backhoe it to level and the soil will hold it, you won’t have to worry it will break

I wanted it level with my deck, so I could only have about 3' of it buried.

A bed liner would have been a great coating, to seal and protect the container from rust! And give good grip while walking!

About to do one my self. Bought 2 and going to put them together (I'm a welder/fabricator) . Was hoping you could do another video showing all the leaks, flexing and bottom seam and bond between concrete and metal walls.

No radiant floor tubing built into the cement? You could add some Evacuated Solar Tubes panels and you would have a nice little setup to warm it up. You can still heat it with the tubing by mounting them on the side or bottom in panels.

Having had several steel above ground pools, would it not have been more practical to have support struts/legs on the outside to bare the weight giving full space for swimming?

Maybe.....maybe not. I do like the center shallow "end" and with it full swimming over it is no issue, and going under it is fun. In my head it made send to me that both sides want to push out, so connecting the 2 would counter them selves.

Great to see a video from you again. Miss the videos of your shop and the work going on. Pool is very interesting concept have not seen it before. Good luck and I hope all is well in the northlands.

Great job,

Big props for taking on the task. It may be too late at this point but you could've bolstered the container with 45 degree supports connected to a long horizontal bar on the outside. This would also allow you to have that shallow platform on one end of the pool with the underneath restricted by a net. As it stands now, maybe you could add a tight rope from end to end under the center of the shallow platform? Someone can just pull their self if they get disoriented. Also, you stated that you're getting some small leaks. Are they from the holes you drilled for the bolts? I didn't see any type of rubber seal between the wall and the angle iron.

Hi Paul, having the shallow end just 12' wide, swimming under it is not an issue. Of course with young kids we make sure to monitor them and make sure they know the risks. I just siliconed the bolts and made large hardwood washers on the outside between the steel plate and container, zero leaks from the bolt holes.

The bolts went through where the steel had about a 2'' gap on the outside to the steep plate, I made hard maple "washers" which were lust thicker then the gap, applied silicone and once bolted tight they were held very tight against the skin of the container. This is one part i've had zero leaks or any issues.

So far zero leaks at all the shallow end bolts holes, we siliconed and made big wood washer / spacers which are on the outside and seem to really work well. Overkill perhaps, but I'd rather not fins out. I did't burry at first because of making sure no leaks, so it was needed. Swimming under the platform is fun for sure!

Now that looks super nice. I am very interested to see how it holds up over time.

@CanadianWoodworks

8 ай бұрын

I can confirm swimming laps is no issues with the shallow end height, reason it needed to be there was to hold the container from bowing at the center because of the weight of the water.

Fantastic job on the pool. Just wondering how much something like this would cost compared to a traditional purchased pool. Also, why didn't you grind those nubbins sticking up on the sides from the tarp room system of the shipping container?

I have about $12,000 invested which includes everything! I always planned to clad the top with wood, but spent my time chasing leaks. Now with leaks fixed, I think I will just cut off at the end of the season.

Awesome work. Thanks so much for sharing. I’ve built a container pool and I have just had the wall bow on me after I filled it. Love your solution but may try an overhead brace rather than a shallower middle. However, I would like to know what epoxy pool paint you used? I used Semco liquid membrane but not terribly happy with it. Any help would be appreciated Well done

Id say I ave about 12k Canadian dollars invested, the container was $4500 + $600 to move it. Steel, Pool paint, concrete and of course the pool components. Lot's of time also!

Hope you welded the underside otherwise the square steel will rust out from the inside?

You seem to be a skilled welder. I would think it'd be better to weld the steel structure through holes to the outside plate, and then along all the edges. For less likely to have leaks around your bolts as silicone only lasts so long. Also without welding angle irons below your shelf to support the weight everything is on sheer on your bolts. Every time people walk around on it it's slowly wiggling those bolts.

@CanadianWoodworks

9 ай бұрын

so far zero leaking from the bolts, considering how many 1/2'' bolts I used I'd think its enough sheer strength, but ya I guess it could be inducing some movement into the bolts. I have them exposed on the outsides of the container, to keep an eye out for any leaking.

If you didn’t weld under the square tubing to the angle iron then it can definitely get water in that way.

@CanadianWoodworks

9 ай бұрын

At first I sealed it with silicon, but I did end up welding the underside, but did not get footage at the time.

Since it's going to be under a deck anyway, why don't you just support it with footers underneath? You won't be able to see it. Put concrete footers with steel beams on a slant holding the center walls square?

Shallow end would look good white.

I thought in my head, I did't want the oil to corrupt when I went to epoxy paint it. But yes a little drop of oil would help alot!

Why not just reinforce the outside if you want to prevent the middle of the container from bowing outward? Having that shallow part in the middle seems like more trouble than its worth.

I didn’t see you weld the bottom of the tube to the angle. Water would still be able to get in. Hopefully the epoxy seals it.

@CanadianWoodworks

9 ай бұрын

Ya i'm dumb, I did use a 2 part epoxy to fill that gap but I did get a touch of rust showing through, in the end I did end up welding the underside joint also.

What would be the cheapest option if you were to put the seacan in ground, could you get away with just doing pool epoxy no concrete, or would it be cheaper to run a liner,

@CanadianWoodworks

9 ай бұрын

Yes perhaps cheaper to do a liner, when I started the build it was during Covid and there was like a 1 year+ wait time for a liner. I also wanted to keep the feel and look of a container on the inside.

I probably would have welded a 3 or 4 inch ball valve on the bottom for a drain.

I did't not like the idea of 1/4'' thick material being welded to the very thin material of the container which is about 14ga. Also figured it would be easier to change if I needed to. So far the bolting has had zero issues in regards to leaking or strength.
