  • is that an inground pool

  • Nope, just some sheet plastic on the lawn.  Snow piles on the edges makes it look deep. In the spring, looks like a normal backyard.

  • were d0 u buy the plastice fr0m

    and d0 u have t0 step 0n the sn0w t0make it c0mpaq

  • Any Home Depot type place.  Just need the thick 6mil construction plastic.

  • First live someplace cold.

    Then, don't just spray water on the ground. Tried that, failed.

    Shovel snow off the ground to make side walls, or if you are a super high tech hockey type person, rip plywood and stake it with rebar to make real walls.

    Go buy a roll of 6 mil construction plastic ( ~$80 ). Spread it out only one layer thick. Not two, tried that, failed.

    Fill with water deep enough to make 2 inches of ice at thin end.  Let freeze. Go skate.

  • @4Hockeyman Not everyone likes hockey either.Wonder if the NJ Devils will be sold?

  • hat kid sucks i would burn corners around him

  • @kta0001 what does a normal backyard look like?

  • Don't know, about -2 celius ("-" meaning minus)

  • no one gives a shit about figure 8s

  • Thats a perfect size to do figure 8's.

  • wicked camera angle lolz

  • i have an inground. even with a cover the ice freezes and makes some ice below and over it. i accidently made it too smooth so not sneakers arent as good. my backyard has a layer of ice over the snow thats good enough to hold the weight and the ice is rough with dimples in it so thats less surface drag and u slide alot farther. and my backyard has a slight slope so its great

  • about 32 degrees. water usually turns into a solid by that temperature

  • I like your rink, we have a similar rink but have trouble with tears in the plastic when it thaws, what do you think?
