Outdoor Cold Plunge Tubs

Choosing a cold plunge tub

Backyard America offers North American Made cold plunge tubs by Leisurecraft, with choices in interior materials, cedar finishes, capacity and seating. Start by comparing how you want to use your tub: a dedicated cold plunge, a cold-water finish after a sauna, or a model that can also serve as a wood-burning hot tub.

The Glacier Plunge Tub offers a 304 stainless steel or white HDPE plastic interior, paired with a clear or knotty red cedar skirt. Its outside dimensions are 71 inches long by 33 inches wide by 25 inches high. Angled sides make getting in and out easier, and the tub holds 190 gallons.

The Polar Plunge Tub combines an aluminum shell with a white cedar skirt. It shares the Glacier’s outside dimensions, angled sides and 190-gallon capacity. Comparing these two models comes down to your preferred interior material and cedar exterior.

The Baltic Cold Plunge Tub is designed to be filled with cold water for use after a sauna or hot tub. It arrives fully assembled and has a fitted plastic liner. For two-person seating and the option of hot or cold use, consider the Cascade 2 Person Cold or Hot Tub 3’x7′. It has an aluminum shell, holds 233 gallons and can be used without the optional wood heater as a cold plunge.

Keeping your water cold

The Penguin Cold Therapy Chiller with Filter Kit keeps an ice bath cold without buying ice. It can reach the low 40s °F, and even the high 30s in the right conditions. Ambient temperature and sun exposure are the main heat load, so consider both when planning where your plunge will go.

The Glacier offers an optional roll-up cover. The Polar’s 33-inch by 71-inch Roll Up Cover is sold separately and helps keep water clean and cold during summer. Include your preferred cover and any questions about the chiller in your quote request.

Setup, draining and care

Use the listed dimensions and capacities to compare models for your space. The Glacier and Polar each include a garden-hose drain, and the Cascade also has a garden-hose drain. The Baltic’s fully assembled delivery and fitted plastic liner are useful details to consider when comparing setup and interior construction.

The Cascade’s red cedar skirting can be left natural or stained. Available accessories for round Leisurecraft cold plunge tubs include red cedar 3-tier steps and a 36-inch round cedar lid. Ask about accessories for your selected model, along with setup, draining and care questions.

Pairing a cold plunge with a sauna or hot tub

Explore outdoor saunas and wood-burning cedar hot tubs when planning a space for warm and cold water routines. The Baltic is specifically designed for cold-water use after a sauna or hot tub, while the Cascade gives you hot or cold use in one tub.
