I can’t thank him enough. My cold plunge has been running strong for almost 2 years without an issue.
Why Being Cheap Cost Me More for my cold plunge💸
I know my way around a shop. Tools, plumbing, woodworking — no problem. So when I set out to build a cold plunge, I figured I’d wing it instead of buying plans.
Big mistake.
🔁 15+ trips to the hardware store
🚫 A mountain of returns
⏳ Countless delays second-guessing every step
The worst part? The procrastination. I kept hesitating, not wanting to mess it up — and ended up wasting time and materials anyway.
Just look at this stack of receipts (yep, real photo). That’s the true cost of going it alone.
If I could do it over, I’d start with the plans here from DIY Cold Plunge. Joe’s guide is proven, tested, and regularly updated — and it would’ve saved me so many headaches.
Thinking of building your own? Don’t make my mistake.
I'm building cold plunge #2 WITH plans this time!
Best DIY design package i have seen. Well done all around.
Joe gives very detailed plans, photos of every product you need and videos for each step in the procedure. For someone who is neither a carpenter or a plumber, I made a few mistakes that required more time to address, but I’m very happy with the finished product. Joe answers any emails I sent along the way, replying by the next morning every time I was stuck. That was a big help. I purchased the plans for the luxury tub build and the comprehensive product package then grabbed all building materials locally. I built it to match the color scheme of my house, along with the enclosed mechanical area, I like how it blends in on the deck. I love this thing! Highly recommend purchasing the plans if you’re on the fence!
I have been plunging for a while with an inflatable tub and a subpar chiller. A friend of mine introduced me to the DIY coldplunge a few months ago. We built his first, then we build mine with minor changes. I used 1x8 cedar instead of the T-111. Both look great and both perform perfectly. The plans make it extremely easy for people of all levels. These cold plunges are the best out there (imo) and save you loads of money.
