Space constraints shouldn't mean giving up on a pool. Modpools are purpose-built compact swimming pools that fit where traditional pools never could, starting at just 12x8 feet.
Find Your Size →Most people assume a small yard means no pool. That assumption is wrong. Modpools are compact shipping container pools engineered specifically for spaces where traditional pools won't fit, starting at just 96 square feet of water surface.
The smallest pool you can get from Modpools is the 12'x8' model, also known as a plunge pool. At just 96 sq ft, it fits in backyards where no traditional pool ever could.
Despite its modest footprint, this small pool delivers a full experience. The 4-foot depth is ideal for cooling down, hydrotherapy, and relaxation. It can be installed inground, above ground, on a deck, or even on a rooftop, making it the most versatile small pool option on the market.
The 20'x8' is the most popular small pool for small yards. It offers a comfortable 4'6" to 4'8" depth with enough room for families, swim jets, and year-round use.
For most homeowners with a small yard, the 20'x8' hits the sweet spot. It's long enough for swim jets to actually be effective, deep enough for adults to swim comfortably, and still fits in yards where a conventional pool would be impossible. The 16'x8' is also a strong choice for slightly tighter spaces, offering the same 4-foot depth in a shorter footprint.
Yes. A small pool in a small yard adds significant property value, provides year-round enjoyment, and for rental properties can generate $100-200 per night in additional revenue.
A compact pool from Modpools does everything a large pool does, in a fraction of the space. It enhances your outdoor living area, adds resale value to your home, and in warmer climates becomes the most-used feature of the property. For Airbnb or short-term rental owners, a small pool is one of the highest-ROI upgrades available, with many owners recouping their investment within 12 to 18 months. Modpools can also be customized to function as both a pool and a hot tub, ensuring value in every season.
You need as little as 12 feet by 8 feet of usable outdoor space for a Modpool. Unlike traditional pools, no excavation equipment or months of construction is required.
Space constraints are rarely an issue with Modpools. The compact rectangular form fits into corners, along fence lines, flush with existing decking, or even into hillsides. Because they arrive fully assembled and are installed in a single day with a crane, there's no lengthy construction period eating into your yard. You just need enough room for the pool itself plus safe access around it.
All three of these models are designed specifically for small backyards. No traditional pool comes close to this footprint.
