Slope
This is my first year building a rink and have run into several issues. The most troubling is the slope of my yard. 15+ inches from one corner to the other. Having issues with getting 18 inches of water to freeze. Any advice? Has anyone had any success in placing pieces of plywood underneath to act as a "floor". Also what is the best way to secure to excess tape that overhangs the boards?
