Hardening off is becoming an increasingly popular way to combat stress, boost circulation and improve quality of life.
The Below5 hardening barrel is a great choice for anyone who wants to take up hardening. It offers a practical solution, quality workmanship and a well thought out design.
Main features:
The barrel is very easy to fold and the spacious dimensions make it comfortable for a taller person.

I had a bit of a problem with inflating the rim when folding it (after a while I found I was inflating it wrong). In the package you will find a small pump that you can inflate it nicely through the valve. It's important that the rim is fully inflated, otherwise the barrel won't hold its shape.
When filling, make sure you keep an eye on the valve at the bottom, which needs to be closed - if you forget to do this, the water will leak out of the barrel. There is also a drain valve on the side of the barrel that simply screws on and the water can be easily drained, which greatly simplifies maintenance.

Overall, the Below5 hardening barrel is an excellent tool for anyone looking to get started with hardening or looking for quality ice bathing equipment. It's practical, easy to carry and offers everything you need. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, this barrel will meet your expectations.
Recommendation at the end...Build the barrel at home and then put it in your backyard. I assembled it in the garden when it was freezing and it wasn't very pleasant.

And one more recommendation...If you want to put the barrel on the balcony find out the load capacity of the balcony first
