So, this year, we're having our pool filled in and I'm thinking about building a backyard rink.

I helped a guy build about 4 rinks last year, so I have a general idea on how this thing works. But I'm wondering if anyone here has built one, and if so, do you have any tips?

Thanks
Dan

I build one last year and found this sight useful...

the key is a good base of snow - pack it down when it is mild and the once temps drop to -10 or so soak it well – a good base will allow the rink to handle a few days of + temps during the winter

this year has been difficult to get going as it has been warm with little snow but yesterday and today it sits at -10 so I have been flooding away…..
