DIY: Building an Ice Skating Rink

If you’ve got the open space in a large backyard, freezing cold temperatures, and a love for ice skating, you could make you own ice rink!! You could buy yourself some ready-made kits for building a backyard skating rink, but they can be way pricey. All you really need is some lumber for bracing, plywood for boards, and a tarp or liner (white not blue). In less than a half day of work you could be skating in your very own rink!— plus, if you plan correctly, you can reuse your materials each winter! Check out how you can do this too by clicking the link below!
*** SAFETY – Before building a backyard ice rink, be sure to check with your home owner’s insurance and your town’s zoning department to make sure you’re covered in the case of any accidents or property damage and secure the proper permits, if any are needed. Can I also say WEAR protection, especially on your head! ***
