"Hello Adam, if you ground is level and compact, 2inches of ice is definitely enough! Come to think of it, in an NHL arena, the ice is built to a thickness of approximately 1-1.25 inches. My rink has a 1inch
slope so it goes from 21/2inches to…"

"Hi Mike,
The link I shared was to a page that showed our rink with kick plate. It should be working.
What are the dimensions of your rink? How much kick plate (length) do you need?

Thanks for the invite John! Not having a lot of luck so far this year down here in Buffalo. It's been too warm. can't get under 30 for 3-4 consecutive days. So I've been able to take time with the rink construction. have you ever made doors for your rink? that's my final step this weekend and then i'm going to lay the plastic in and staple with the cardboard, thanks for the tip and then fill 3-4"
John I was unable to get that page to load....we are looking for the some sort of kick plate (I was thinking of the vinyl cove base in yellow that I would staple to the boards).
Let me know if there is a better link.
Thanks
Thank you for accepting my request! Found a lot of great information on this site. Looking forward to sharing my stories and pictures!!
Thank you for accepting my request. I have read a lot on here already and have put some of the advice to work.
Building my first back yard rink and having some issues. There is a 9 inch slope in my yard and I can't get the ice built up on the shallow end. There are also several pockets that break when you step on them. A 12 inch snow just dumped on the rink. I have shoveled off but not sure what do do now. How do I fix the pockets and build up the shallow end. It is 7 degrees and will be below freezing for the next few days
Thanks for having me. Filling with garden hose as we speak. Our rink is 40 x 80 might take a while. Only our second year, looking forward to not having a broken ankle for this season
thanks, looking forward to see everyone's rinks
Rink is 20 x 40 and with the weather we've had over the past few days I hope to have it ready to go by the end of the weekend.
Thanks!
