So far, the primary concern of the clients and the most frequently asked question has been whether or not the container pools rust. Are shipping container pools safe or not, and other similar questions about container pools may arise.Let us read and see the nature of shipping container pools and how they are to learn more about their durability and nature.

Introduction to Shipping Container Pools

Shipping container pools could be great additions to any house. They come in a few different sizes and they can fit in any space, they don’t require any construction, and they are relatively cheap. They are also portable which means they could be moved if you decide to change locations. But just as is the case when making any other purchase, there are some questions which need answers before one decides to go ahead and buy the product. In case of shipping container pools, one of the most frequently asked questions about them is if they rust.

So Do Shipping Container Pools Rust?

The short answer is yes, it is possible for them to rust. Shipping containers are made of steel. To be more specific, the corrugated walls and doors are made of corten steel. This very specific form of steel is chosen for building shipping containers because of its four main properties; it is very tough, it is greatly weldable, it doesn’t require painting, and it is very resistant to rusting.

That however, does not mean that corten steel is completely immune to rusting. Just like most other metals, corten steel can rust, it’s just far more resistant to rusting than most other types of metal. In fact, when the corten steel rusts, a very thin layer of rust (oxidated steel) will form on the surface, but it will not go too deep.

So, the metal material part of the shipping container pool does rust, but the rusting will happen very slowly and in a limited way. Although that’s somewhat reassuring, it’s not completely convincing at this level, since we are talking about pools, and since they will be filled with water for long periods of time, rusting even at the smallest scales can prove problematic. There are easy solutions to prevent that limited rusting from happening at all.

Shipping container pools are incredibly long-lasting and do not rust. Container pools can last up to 25 years and above-ground pools up to 20 years.You can prevent the shipping container pools from getting rusted; the shipping container pools are created with the Green Box's help and coat with an anti-rust solution. In addition, the inner walls of the shipping container pools are covered with a waterproof solution, which prevents rusting.

When shipping container pools are converted and modified using weathering steel and an alloy, a speedy layer of oxidation forms.Specifically, the high quality of the coating on the container pools can cover the metals and prevent them from rusting completely. Keep in mind that this does not mean that the pool will never rust; you will still need to add a coating to the shipping container pools and keep managing the risk of corrosion from happening.

How Do We Make Sure That Our Shipping Container Pools Do Not Rust?

There are two general methods, sometimes both are incorporated, but in most cases, each one of them will be sufficient. One method is to cover the entire surface of the shipping container pool with a thin layer of fiberglass. Fiberglass is quite durable and if applied properly, will eliminate the chance of rusting in shipping container pools for a considerable amount of time. The other common method is painting the shipping container with zinc paint, which slows the rusting process.

None of the two methods means that you won’t need to ever care for the rusting problem. They will provide protection for your shipping container pool for years, but just as is the case with any other type of pool, you need to take good care of it and maintain the pool. Normal pools require all sorts of maintenance every once in a while.

There are very few types of surfaces which do not need much maintenance for a great number of years, and they are rarely used to build swimming pools. Shipping container pools do not need any extra maintenance compared to normal shipping container pools, but once every few years, you do have to check if you need to reinforce those layers with new ones to make sure that your shipping container pool will never rust.
