“Hello, we’d like a pool please.”
Best I can do is refurbished shipping container.
“Hmmm, well, okay. Will you buy many containers and put them all over the place so that everyone can enjoy them?”
No. We will study one to see if it works. Also, only 20 people at a time.

Also: the wooden structure will only last a few years? Did they not hire a carpenter who knows what they’re doing?
$50K for a roofless shipping container? You can buy these used for under $2K USD
Also – the high-end price tag for an inground pool is like $200,000, and they can accommodate many more people and last a lot longer. How is this cost-effective?

This is Quebec, where digging a hole is a vastly complicated and expensive engineering challenge.

Also, filling in smaller holes.
