Joe obviously put in a lot of effort to create these plans. The level of detail is very helpful. He responds quickly to questions and his replies show that he has a lot of experience doing this. The project took me way longer than expected. Building something with so few right angles is time consuming (reminded me of building out my van), but I am very happy with the final product and the plans. This thing is very well insulated and all the parts I purchased from DIY Cold Plunge are functioning well. I installed the inline heater to continue plunging through the winter. I also modified a deck box with vents to protect the chiller. If I were to start over, I think I'd go with Joe's stock tank framing plans to reduce the number of cuts, work with square corners, and protect the chiller/heater since I have the room.
Perfect fit and set up
Works great and looks great.
Perfect fit and super easy to install. Joe helped answer all my questions for my specific setup. Thanks Joe!
Outstanding great packaging fit good . Perform as they should
Great product and support. Very responsive.
Great product, quick shipping and appreciate the personal touch with the product we received. Thanks
I got the plans and plumbing package for the modular stock tank plunge tub and it was fantastic. Everything was easy to put together (minus the normal amount of user error) and Joe responded quickly to the couple emails I had to send, as well as helping me track down a couple parts I needed after I broke something. The tub is a great addition to our sauna routine and looks fantastic in the garden.
I'm not handy AT ALL and was able to follow Joe's plan. I had to made some changes on the dimensions, which made it a little more challenging because I had to adjust everything, but overall it was a pretty pleasant experience. The videos are super helpful and Joe was accessible if I needed him. I still have to sand some spots and paint, but overall I'm happy with the finished product.
I have a gen 1 Cold Plunge and have been through 3 pumps under warranty and was looking at a 4th. Plunge has different priorities these days besides warranty service on old sales, and so I went to Joe and easily retrofitted to a Danner 950 instead of messing with the DC options. I purchased the pump and the fittings for the chiller and the Danner - all easily available on the site. All I did was install the fittings, cut and glued into the original plumbing to make the Danner compatible, filled the tub, plugged the Danner into a GFCI outlet and I’m good to go
I’m a 100% noob when it comes to working with power tools…. And even I built this with just a few weekends of free time. Trust me, if I can do it- then YOU can do it. Joe lays every step out on paper AND video, so you can’t hardly mess it up. I brought my iPad out to the garage and just watched 2-5 min sections of the video, focusing on one step at a time. Most of my cuts were far from perfect, and my XL sauna still turned out great. I bought the heater kit too, and same deal- the step-by-step instructions make it dummy-proof. Highly recommend.
There were steps I had never done before, but thanks to the high level of detail, I had complete confidence at every step.
The plans and supplies list saved so many hours and the finished product looks and works great!
