Building a Rink System? Things To Keep In Mind

As winters approach, more and more folks look for ways to bring Ice Skating Sport in their own homes and backyards. While this may seem a daunting task, it isn't, and this blog will further help deliver relevant information on creating your own indoor ice skating rink.

It's important to ask yourself whether or not your yard(home) is equipped to handle the amount of water involved while considering building an ice rink in your backyard. For example, if water tends to pool easily in your yard when the snow starts to melt, it might not be a good idea to even add moisture to your yard in the form of a rink.

Building a Backyard Ice Rink - A Guide:

Backyard Space and Grade - Before starting on your rink, it is important to decide on the rink's size that you desire to build. Similarly, the grade of your backyard is equally essential. Once you determine the rink's size, the next step involves clearing the space of snow, sharp rocks, and any other object that might come in between the entire process.

Rink Building - For home ice rink construction, you can choose wood boards or PVC pipes. The essential part with both is to ensure that you have a frame that is the correct size of the space and holds the water in while it freezes. 

Ice Making - Now that you have the frame constructed well enough, it's time to add water. You may have to do it few times to make the ice thick enough for skating. 

Maintaining the Ice - Maintenance is one specific thing that plays a vital role in keeping it ready for the next big game. After every skate, keep the surface fresh to level the ice.

While this process may seem easy, it isn't, especially if you try to do things all on your own. It's best that you call professionals to sort the problem out. Installation of rink systems is done best with the assistance of professionals who have years of experience with the work.
