My Rink Plastic Removal

With the couple days of warm weather which turned our ice rink into a swimming pool; some of you might have been smart enough to take out your plastic.  But for those of you that stuck it out, Bravo!  You may have been rewarded with a couple more skating days as the temperatures are staying low during the nighttime.  However, with my time constraints I settled for taking the plastic from our Backyard Classic Rinks after ice had once again settled on top of our couple inches of water.  This makes for a nightmare!

Lesson to be learned here: wait until the ice is completely gone, if possible, because even a thin layer of ice can accumulate during removal and make the plastic a 100 or more lb sheet.  Unfortunately, in my case, we had to get it out to prepare for flag football leagues and it took me two and a half hours just to remove the plastic (granted I was by myself).  And ALWAYS remember to check the slope of your land to see where the water will drain!!
