How to pour rink
Skating is a favorite winter entertainment of many people. Currently, large rollers are poured in winter in the winter, but as a rule they are often crowded. Ride, plowing elbows is not very interesting, especially if you are new. But it is possible to build a roller on your own site. To do this, it is required to outline the place of this object and to make a roller with a thickness of about 10 cm around the perimeter. After that, the platform is cleaned from the garbage and align its surface.
After the preparatory stage is completed, you can start a platform fill. Usually it happens in stages, the ice is increasing the layer behind the layer. How quickly it will be possible to build a rink, depends directly from weather conditions.
How to fill the rink
Even the fill rink requires a serious approach. After all, the safety of rolling people will depend on the quality of ice. Before starting work, you need to fulfill the following requirements:
- select the size of the size of 10 by 15 m (on a small patch will have to constantly rotate and dodge from each other);
- the earthy platform will have to be cleaned of garbage and align (with a concrete surface this does not have to do);
- to provide a fencing with a height of 10 cm;
- if the surface of the earth is covered with snow, it must be thoroughly seal;
- mount the fence of the future rink.
After performing these simple nuances, you can proceed to the immediate pouring of the canvas. It is best to choose a weak weather for this, clear weather.

The most latter layer should be poured with warm water, so the ice will turn out to be high-quality and smooth. As a result, the ice thickness should be 15 cm and higher. Another important nuance is the position of the hose when working. Experts recommended to have it at an angle of 25-30 degrees to a flooded surface. If there is no sprayer then an angle increase to 35 to 45 degrees.
This will provide an optimal supply of water in the form of rain from the height of one and a half meters, while the ice will not be blurred. It is necessary to pour continuously by moving the hose fan-like. Otherwise, the surface will be uneven. Of course, riding on ice on ice skating. His surface is far from ideal. After use, the coating roller needs to be repaired. To do this, it is necessary to make a kind of solution from snow and water, after which they make all the chips and irregularities to them.
