Here's my first attempt at a rink. Made sure I added bracing every 2 feet and every foot in my deep corner. Still have the small tear issue but the deep freeze has finally set in. The one thing I realized after the fact was no inner boards to absorb the pucks when there bouncing around (don't want them to hit the plastic and break it) So I have some boards I'm adding once it's frozen. Which will just rest on the ice. Hopefully it works and the kids have a blast. Now to build the resurfacer.

Thanks for all the great articles and tips and tricks this site was very instrumental in the build.

I used 1/4" OSB board for my "kick-plates". I had the guy at Lowes rip them into 12" strips (they do it for free). I painted them white and installed them with 3/4" screws to the inside of the rink.

That's exactly what I did. Seemed to work out great! I wish I could post pics but for some reason the site keep saying there to big (Even from my iPhone?)

Its been blast!

For the attachments, I prefer to post the pics somewhere else like Facebook, Twitter or imgur and then link them here with the [img] functionality.
