Hugh,I was actually looking for a 20 foot can and found them to be too expensive.  Here we pay 3,000 dollars for a can without delivery.  I can make my pool for 1,500 dollars with concrete.  The other thing is, the shop height is not sufficient to lift the sub over the side of the can.  Keeping it outside would be no fun in the winter.  I think in the floor is going to be real convenient and quick to put in and out.  If I lived in NZ, I would go with a sea can and crane.Hank

HI Hank, 
Have you looked at a container for a pool.  Cut open the top and you have 8ft x 8ft x either 20 ft or 10 ft but when empty it is moveable!! The only thing is that it may need a box section  welded along the side in the middle but it is a walking platform ½ way up which is useful.  The other is that you can put a window in the side. 
I saw a similar beast in a Sub business in Vancouver.  Just a thought.  Hugh

Thanks' Guys,The pool will be modest, to save cost.  The pool will be 10 feet long 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep.  The steel I beam I have is 16 inches tall and 8 inches wide with a 3\8 web and 1\2 inch top and bottom.  I have no idea if it is rated, but I have a good friend that does all my engineering for work stuff.  I can get him to do the math, no problem.  I can easily throw a tellapost under to cut down the span when I lift to much.   I have used this beam many times over the years to support masonry chimneys when we lift houses and being such a tall beam it is amazingly strong.  
There is little risk of freezing because the shop will be heated.  I could always drain it when I go away.I may have to rethink the design after Alan provided a much nicer design! ;-)

Hi All,Renovations on my new house are going so well that I can start renovating my new old shop.  I built it 20 years ago so it needs a bit of help.  I am replacing the wood centre beam with a steel I beam so I can lift and roll subs with a beam trolly.  And the biggy is, the test pool at the end of the steel beam.  I am installing an in floor pool.  I am tired of driving for 1.5 hr to do a 5 minute test then drive home for 1.5 hr.  I happen to be in the concrete cutting business also , so I can cut out the floor easy as pie.  I will make the pool walls with styrofoam blocks filled with concrete, (ICF)  so the sub will bump into soft walls.  So when it is -20C outside I can go for a little sub dive. 

Hank
