Hi all,
My name is Stevie Pailler. It could be considerd a disease, condition, or disorder. I consider it a passion. Something we all have in common. Obsessing over our favorite slab!!
I hope to be able to contribute some of my knowledge and learn some helpful steps on improving my backyard rink..

Thank you Joe and soupy... It seems that round corners are a hidden secret .. not exactly sure why that is..
There are a few different ways to do it... I do have some video of me building my boards.. and tons of pictures setting it up each year ... I am also changing my rink a little this year.. Adding Chillers and a large Zamboni door ... I will be sure to take pictures and some video of that too ...
I will make a post on how to excatly build round corners .. It is basicly 6th grade math ( I thought 6th grade math was a waste of time..lol) ... and a little construction knowledge and skill ... I can also make it into a formula that maybe Joe can add to his how to figure section...

so basically you do it in 15 degree sections? 3 make 45 degrees? 6 make 90?

I have 10 pannel's .. so its 90 degrees divided by each panel.. except the end pannel ar cut square.. if that makes any sense. . Pictures and diagrams would help explain it best. .

Steve, if you want to share what you did, I'd love to make it into a how-to.
