Since you went ahead and dug the hole you should have just got a fiberglass pool insert and and saved tens of thousands of dollars and had a normal looking pool😮
and over $40,000 + the cost of the excavation, concrete work, and moving. Not sure why go with a shipping container at this price. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful pool, but what if you don't have $50,000 - $60,000 to spend.
Hey Andrew, you can't actually use concrete for a pool. Concrete is a pourous material and can't be sealed well enough. I think what you are referring to is a gunnite pool, which is quite a bit more expensive up my way...even with my concrete box. All in I was at $40k: Pool, concrete and site work. Hope that helps. -A
Agree. Could have simply added a vinyl liner to the concrete box. Is the concrete box even necessary? Can’t the container go straight into the ground with a proper base of sand/gravel? And then back fill with dirt?
there have been people that just seal up a container and drop it right in the ground you don't need to do any of this this project shouldn't cost more that 12k
Ant, I just finished adding a hot-tub to my existing pool here in Las Vegas. It's been a 8 month project with everything, roughly $60K with labor and other fees. To have this shipping container pool dropped right in, completely enclosed w/equipment at $30K, thats a really good deal. I am impressed at how it looks too, love the automatic cover too.
@@stedmans4christ I'm not saying I added a hot tub to my shipping container pool....What I'm saying - to add a shipping container that can serve two purposes - a pool and hot tub at only $30K, thats a good deal...not to mention in some parts of the country it's very difficult to find skilled teams that can complete a new pool project in the next year. My project took 8 months and that was merely adding a hot-tub.
I totally hear you Jake, I know what you meant. Thanks for the comment and price indicator. helps to know what stuff costs in other areas! Enjoy the tub!
Wait, did you put a steel pool....in a concrete pool? I kinda like it because you can empty the steel pool, beam off the concrete pool. Flip the steel pool over and you get a 2 story bomb shelter. Add some doors and you're good to go! Whats the price difference of the insert vs plastering and building a traditional concrete pool? If that info is available. Good video, nice work undoubtedly.
Hi, we have been hunting around for different container pool options and yours is the first demo video that I think is really detailed and honest. Thanks for taking the time to share this info. We have been looking at Tangled, Alternative Living (Las Vegas), and Mod Pool (also Canada). Could you let me know a bit more about the pool experience now that you have been using it for a while? maintenance? durability? any complaints? Safety issues? How easy is it to use on a daily basis with the auto cover and such? Thanks very much for sharing your experience. P.S. I also agree that you and George Clooney look alike. hahaha.
Hey Katharine, thanks so much! So, I've only had the pool this one season, but with that said, I am super happy thus far. Literally no maintenance, but jury is out on this until after my first winter and getting it setup again in the Spring - I am not anticipating an issue, but want to be clear that I havent gone through a winter yet. I LOVE the auto cover, its a child safe cover, which also keeps wildlife out of the pool...it has a 4 digit lockout on the keypad, and should also be noted: its the only part of the pool you CANNOT control from your phone, this is obviously for liability reasons, and I have no issue with it. Only note on the auto cover is that they installed it on an aluminum bracket which flexes so the cover is a bit out of square. I am working with the company to alleviate this, I just haven't had the time to test out our latest solution, so just ask if they have switched to a stronger bracket if you are going with the auto cover. no safety issue that any other pool doesnt have durability seems great - will know more over time - i will be doing another video in the next year or two, but judging by the build quality and coating they used i am not anticipating any issues. overall i would definitely recommend Tangle.
Awesome looking pool Anthony. And awesome project over all. Interesting thought about the sun heating up the sides of the container… will make for a tricky situation when swimming during summer sun hours. But still an awesome project. You gave me lots of ideas! Thanks for making the video!
Nice job and very clean. There's one thing I would do. I would replace the steel rollers for your deck with Teflon. Those rollers are going to be rusted probably before I'm writing this comment. If not, replace anything steel with Teflon especially the rollers for the deck. Cheers mate!
Amazing pool and great videos. I am wondering how you prevent the concrete slab and walls from filling up with water from rain and/ or splashing from the pool? Thank you!
OK I didn’t finish reading all the comments but I have to address what you keep saying that is incorrect. There have been poured concrete pools built for years. All you have to do is either plaster or paint the inside or put a liner and it’s more than sufficient it does not have to be gunite. You built a concrete pool and if you would’ve thickened the top edge and then plastered the inside you would’ve saved a butt load of money. Also, that container could’ve been set directly in the ground just like metal wall vinyl liner pools have done for many years and it would’ve lasted you a very long time.
@@Z71hosestretcher yeah, that’s not the way these pools are sold. All mechanicals are pre-installed. I’ll show the “machine room” in the next video - just gotta find the time to shoot it.
this was the final install. I have plans to build additional decking around it, but didn't have the budget at the time. Hoping to do it this summer. And I'll be shooting an update to this video in May with all the things I've learned having this pool for 2 years now.
@@CarrinoAnthonyawesome job we were wanting something similar but with a rolling deck cover since we have small children and limited space in our yard. Thanks for all the ideas and great job ❤
Great pool and video. Good explanations on the setup. But, I don't understand why you would opt for this vs a traditional pool since you excavated and poured concreted. Like a regular pool. And, I've been checking into this shipping container pools and the cost seems start at $35K-$50K. (not including excavation, electrical, gas hookups, water drainage (sump or some other drainage) . Basically, in some areas, I think you can get in ground pool for the same. I assume you got quoted much higher. Would be interesting to know what you got quoted for with the in-ground. And, also what the concrete vault cost.
That's a pretty sweet pool for the cash, agreed. The concrete box you did seems like a really good way to go as well. I'm just wondering if they say how long to expect the paint to last. The epoxy on my concrete pool kept chalking from the chlorine and you'd come out with blue feet pretty much after the first year of a fresh paint job. The new pentair equipment seems to be some good stuff as well. Having the app is pretty sweet. Easy peasy. This whole project as been a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for posting it Anthony.
Thanks so much! They didn’t give me an expected life on the paint, but it seems to be a thick, durable coating. I’ll definitely be paying attention to it and will report back in a future video.
@@CarrinoAnthony You're welcome! I'm really interested to see if they've been able to come up with a paint that can better withstand the chlorine. The chalking isn't the worst thing in the world, it just doesn't look as pretty as when it first gets painted.
@@CarrinoAnthony Just an FYI...Pentair also has a pretty sweet auto dispensing acid tank that keeps the PH level spot on. The monitor that's part of it also tells you the chlorine level so you know how to adjust. Of course it's more money, but it's been so much easier and less hassle.
Anthony, amazing pool. Loved watching it come together. You are really a great teacher. Your attention to detail and honesty really make this project very interesting. Great times to come with the pool!!
I don't understand why. You already created a concrete container for the pool so why not just use that? Why add the shipping container since all it appears to do is make the inside pool area smaller?
a concrete box is not a sufficient material for a pool. It is porous, and would crack in the winter during freeze thaw. Pools that look like concrete are made of gunite, and are way more expensive. I wanted a small pool because I didn't want to heat a large volume of water, and we just like to float and cool off.
Hi! Please, is there a way to generate subtitles in Spanish? Because I see you from Uruguay, I love your videos but I don't understand everything you say! Thanks!
I don't...at all actually, which surprised me. I did anticipate it being a problem so I installed a sump pump pit down there as well and daylight-ed the pipe toward the driveway slope
@@CarrinoAnthony well there you go. I was just trying to remove the perceived importance of someone like George Clooney by saying you look like him. Maybe I should have just said, you and George Clooney look alike!
pool cost varies, but you can get it right on their website: www.TanglePools.com concrete work was $9,000 - site work was wrapped in to my overall build and I moved a lot of earth so not sure how to break that out for you. Hope that helps.
Already been covered, but all of that digging and concrete completely negated the economy of the shipping container pool. Judging by your excitement over having a shipping container pool, it looks like you got tunnel vision and just disregarded other cheaper options.
I have read some concerning reviews about their products being poor quality and the engineering design not allowing proper repairs and requiring re-engineering and Mod Pools failed to proves good support and take liability to correct and the cost came out of clients finances. Mod poop dodges taking care of their clients. I’m disabled and need a pool for PT. And reading about this issue has me concerned. Can you share the customer support and service experience with products that break and are poorly engineered?
So I'm assuming that based on your viewership and subscribers, you receive this build at either a substantial discount or even free. With that said This particular pull system would Cost at least double, if not triple the normal cost of an in ground pool. The novelty of having a pool like this in a northern climate would possibly be Advantageous for a Airbnb and/or something like that. Otherwise, this is a ridiculous and expensive way of installing a pool. if the pool had been built Above ground or partially Below ground level as they are intended to be. This may have made a little bit more sense. However, you basically built a swimming pool and then put another swimming pool inside of it
I am just passing the 2 year mark and zero rust. Whatever the coating is these guys used is super impressive. I'll be shooting an update to this video in May and will make sure I address this!
30k for the product plus your site work. For a 20 ft pool. Why not a traditional in ground pool? I mean I like the self contained aspect of it. Here in Houston you can get a bigger gunite pool installed 35k So what am I missing as it looks like you’ve also spent a ton on site work and concrete.
Hey Chris, up here by me the 3 main factors were: 1. Labor is way more expensive and I cannot do a gunnite pool for the same money, and I wasn't interested in fiberglass or liner 2. pool contractors are literally booked out to 2024 right now 3. I had so much site work I had to do the idea that this pool could be fabricated offsite and then dropped in the hole and hooked up in one day really helped my overall build schedule. (separately I'm a shipping container nut and love the aesthetic as well, but the above were my main reasons). Hope that helps answer your Qs!
so you built a pool to put a pool into it..... Gotcha. While it does look neat I don't see the value. But hey if you are happy then that is all that matters , not some slubs comments on youtube.
It looks like a sort of good DIY type of job that will soon become boring and an awfully cheap looking DIY job even thought its a sort of mixture of expensive tin box that has been cut in half and worked on by DIYers. This man soiunds like he is trying really hard to convince himself that its a great job and money well wasted. Spent.
Laurence if you can't bring anything constructive to the conversation you can just skip my channel. I have no issue with folks disagreeing with how I do things and/or my choices, but you can keep your commentary on my mindset to yourself.
Why don't people use container tanks to store solar energy? For example, automate using concentrated solar thermal power to pump water from the low tank to the high tank during sunny day and release water to drive electric generator and back to the low tank during the night. You can search "Burning Stuff With 2000ºF Solar Power!!" and GREENPOWERSCIENCE for a lot of examples. Actually, potential energy of the tank themselves can also be used directly for generating electricity already.
Being a plumber, where does the storm water go that is bound to collect in the concrete vault you built?
Good question
Nice job. I appreciate all the technical details. The pool looks great. The icing on the cake would be to show people swimming in it.
👍
Clooney, this looks great ❤
Since you went ahead and dug the hole you should have just got a fiberglass pool insert and and saved tens of thousands of dollars and had a normal looking pool😮

That is cool, but don’t their pools start at $45k???. For $45k, you could have a custom pool much better than this.
its Khaby lame moment: you already got your pool by digging soil and making retained concrete pool for container pool... simply waste of money
incorrect. Asked and answered in another comment here. TLDR: bare concrete is porous.
Container gonna rust, no matter what. Ive 4 of them in my yard. Its a headache. Maby because I live next to the sea.

If you poared a slab and walls why not now just have the bottom smooth out and install a pool liner... You literally built a pool around a pool
Because concrete isn’t sufficient for a pool…concrete is porous. Pools are fabricated out of gunite.
lmao Hell no lol
Meh salt water is better honestly. And this is over built. There's a guy who did a blue one and it turned out really kewl.
30k. Oof
30k for the product plus your site work. For a 20 ft pool. Why not a traditional in ground pool?
