What are some good/cheap solutions to build my own cheap cold plunge? I have an ice machine and access to a lot of ice, I just don't know what kind of tub would be the cheapest to get the job done. What do you guys suggest to use as a tub?
>>2955163Do you care what it looks like? If you want cheap get a used bathtub, or even a free one from a renovation. Check the classifieds.A 100gal galvanized stock tank for watering horses could work and they aren't very expensive, $169 on lowes.comOr build one out of wood with thick 10-20mil poly liner. And use banding if necessary. This is probably comparable in cost to just buying a stock tank.Or get an inflatable "hot tub" off amazon or temu, lol
>>2955163I made mine out of a 7 cuft chest freezer and it worked fantastically. just caulked the seams and unplug it when you get in. I put it on a timer and ran it like an hour a day to maintain 35-40F
You can buy some for <$100 on amazon.
>>2955163Just use your bathtub, fill it with cold water and maybe some snow/ice. It's not like you will use it for more than 5 minutes a year.
