I am 5’9” and I’d say if you’re a little taller go with the XL. I am very comfortable in it. I love the sauna it heats up to over 210F in 45 min. Was easy to assemble and I was able to save even more money where I could. Thanks Joe!
Over 2 years and the OG stock tank plan I have was a fun build and Joe is a pleasure to work with ! Couldn’t be happier to have found diy cold plunge
I honestly couldn’t be more satisfied with this entire build. The cold plunge to the sauna. This heater kit was so easy to assemble and Joe is the best person and always responds in a timely manner. He’s been a pleasure to work with for over 2 years now! This heater kit gets hot! 210F degrees in 45 min! I bought the ruby lux bulbs. So far satisfied!
Very clear instructions that are easy to follow. The few times I had questions, he was very responsive and friendly. I love that he’d always ask for feedback on how it could be made better. You can tell he put a lot of time and care into this product.
Instructions were clear and the shopping links are a must. Made it easy to get material. Follow the instructions when cutting or you will be back to get more material 🙈
I recently followed Joe’s DIY sauna build plan, and I couldn’t be more impressed with how well it was put together. From start to finish, the guide was incredibly thorough and user-friendly. Joe did an excellent job breaking down each step of the process in clear, easy-to-understand language. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or a beginner, his instructions are approachable and detailed.
One of the standout aspects of the build was how comprehensive the materials list was. Joe included every item needed, down to the smallest components, which saved me multiple trips to the store. His attention to detail really showed throughout the entire project, ensuring that nothing was left to guesswork.
Overall, Joe’s plan made what could have been a complex and overwhelming project feel manageable and rewarding. The end result is a beautifully functional sauna that I’m proud to have built myself. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a quality sauna for a fraction of the price.
Joe’s plans made complete sense, and really left nothing out except a few rubber ducks!
Easy enough with basic tools, borrowed a few friends tools for an easier time, but not required. Make a taper jig if you know how, apparently helps with the angled pieces, had a buddy help with those.
6 stars if I could, added updates and helpfulness of Joe count for the extra!
The blueprints were the foundation I needed to build my dream cold plunge! I highly recommend grabbing your own if you are considering building your own.
This was the most well thought out plan I’ve ever seen. Perfect instructions with easy to follow steps, cut guides, and videos to go with!
The plumbing plan was very good! I am not a plumber and even I was able to make it work. It is almost foolproof.
Joe does a very good job of laying out the details step by step. You literally can’t screw this build up. The videos that come along with the build are great, I referenced this the most. I learn better by watching then doing. Overall I am super happy with my end build. I also got the heater kit that Joe makes. Fraction of the cost of the other big name products but in my opinion is far superior. Rock solid build plans from the get go. I am very happy with everything. Keep up the good work Joe!!
Joe is always there to help, with great products to make your DIY Cold Plunge build seamless and successful. he's done all the research to give you the best possible info and a one stop shop for everything.
Joe’s stock tank cold plunge plan was very well put together. He provides a file that contains a parts list pdf and a start to finish guide. The parts list also contains clickable links that will take you to the part online which makes shopping very easy. The start to finish guide contains linked videos that will show you how to do each part of the build. Joe also answered any and all question I had about the build. I highly recommend these plans if you are looking to build an ice bath.
Excellent price point! Can’t wait to finish this sauna build! Thanks, Joe!
Joe has done a fantastic job of covering every step of the build. Super easy to follow and a fantastic finished product. The list of components and parts and links for where you can buy them are extremely helpful.
Everything Looks Good, More Assembly than expected. Otherwise the product seems to be very good. I just wish I knew I was going to have to do extra stuff.
I couldn’t be happier with our cold plunge. I am definitely not a handy person and Joe’s plans were very easy to follow and it turned out great. He was also very responsive to all of my questions during the build. My wife and I use it all the time for recovery and could not be happier. I am 6‘9“ tall 240 pounds and the 150 gallon stock tank works perfectly for me.To cover the chiller, I found a bamboo ventilated doghouse that I cut out part of the side and it works great. Thanks again, Joe!
My wife and I use this daily and absolutely love the cold plunge stock tank DIY. Plans are done so well and the video explanation of every step is super helpful as I am a visual learner. I’m 6’ 2” / 260lbs and the 100 tank does the job. I am able to sit Indiana style and still get shoulders completely covered in the water with roughly 1 inch of space above water.
100% worth purchasing the full setup plans.
Thanks Joe. My plunge is up and running. Everything is working great! Thanks for the all Video help and Products (Ozone Generator).
The plan was easy enough to follow. Joe was very responsive to my many questions. Other than my poor craftmanship in cutting and shaping the top cedars pieces it turned out great and I use it 5 days a week.
