I built the 20' x 40' frame one weekend (Nov 25), added the tarp (1 piece white tarp) and flooded it the second weekend (Dec 1) until I had at least 2 inches everywhere (8 inches at the deepest parts). Unfortunately, right after the major flooding, we had a week of snowfall, much of which stuck to the ice. So I didn't get a nice smooth surface at first. But the third weekend (Dec 8) I did multiple light floodings with hot water using a re-surfacer, which worked really well. The ice is nearly perfect and we've been skating on it since Dec 10. My 6 year old son loves it. Thanks for the help. My tip for everyone, don't do a deep flooding unless you are fairly confident that it's not going to snow for at least a couple of days." Great job Brent. Thanks for the picture. |
