Hey everyone, my name is Keith and I'm from Ontario Canada. Last year I made the old traditional style rink, where you pack snow and water and use snowbanks for boards. This year I have decided to upgrade a bit. So I got a question. My back yard is NOT very level, about a foot or more difference on the oppisite corner. I just bought an old 60' x 40' white rink tarp and enough 1 x 6" lumber to make my rink boards. My question is " Can I first level the snow where the rink will be, And then put the tarp and boards over the snow? I don't want the snow to start melting under the tarp, which might cause my ice to start cracking. Also I want to run my tarp "UNDER" the 1" X 6" rink boards, so when im shoveling off my rink, the shovel/skate blades and pucks dont rip or tear the tarp from the inside. I want a nice clean edge on the inside. Can i do this? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Keith
Thx
