6th year building rinks in my back yard. This rink measures 32' x
80'. The usual season of use here in Melfort Sask. is from about
Dec. 5 to about March 19. This year I finished the rink on November
30th."
"I flood directly onto the
grass until the rink is level. After that I use a 4' wide homemade
(resurfacer) style flooder (mounted on an old lawn mower) to finished the
job and to resurface the rink as needed. This flooder is connected
to a hot water supply that creates an excellent hard surface that even
my son and his fellow Pee Wee hockey teammates can play for a couple hours
before resurfacing is required."
Great job and thanks for
