[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 170832, member: 2895"] The dimiensions are roughly 15x30. Surprisingly it ltakes very little time to thaw in the spring, but takes a pretty long time to fill with water, 2-3 days and even longer to freeze. The backyard rink is a canadian tradition. When I was a kid we used to make them by tramping the snow and then slowly sprinkling with water until you had an ice surface. it took a long time and was hard work. These days the common practice is to build a frame and then line it with a water-proof plastic liner. It's quicker and you don't have to start all over again if there is a warm spell. My kids are on the rink every day after school and usually back out again after dinner. [/QUOTE]
