About us

Our container pools are higher than pool fencing requirements. So if you choose to install your container swimming pool as a freestanding unit, there is a significant fencing cost saving.

Relocatable
part of the charm is that our container swimming pools are highly manoeuvrable. So if you move house and want to take your pool with you, well, you can!
An affordable and effortless way to own a swimming pool is finally available for New Zealanders!
The brainchild of father and son team Michael and Joel Painter, Container Pools Ltd was formed early 2016.
There were three main drivers for the development of this business and products:
- To provide an affordable, durable swimming pool system for New Zealanders.
- To provide pool systems that could cope with New Zealand geographical and seismic conditions.
- To provide a portable pool system so that the option to move the pool with the owners, would be viable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pools made of?
BIG CHANGES with the arrival of our Generation 3 pools. Previously, our pools were constructed using 1 trip as new shipping containers. We never used the top half of the shipping containers because they aren't as strong as the bases -potentially causing greater instability. This created a huge amount of waste, and environmentally, we weren't happy about that. So NOW, we are building our own containers, using entirely brand new components, and reducing waste by a staggering 90%!
The liner is moulded fiberglass with insulation built into it. All our pools are decked in hardwood timber to achieve a beautiful CRAFTED finish.
Delivery time?
