Putting the Liner Down Early

Dec 3

Well, we had our first significant snow fall last night.  We got 3 inches and it is sticking on the ground.  Unfortunately, the forcast is for highs in the forties for the rest of the week.  It's not nearly cold enough to put down the ice rink unless you're trying to gather water via rain and snow.

I've only put the liner down early once to try to gather water in this fashion.  That year I thought I'd try it to see if I could get the rink up really early.  It was early December and we had just gotten snow, like this year.  I put the rink up and the liner down.  I ended up gathering about an inch of water this way and then went to the hose.  It didn't make an appreciable difference in the time it took to fill up the rink, but it did make a difference in the amount of time I spent fixing things.  The liner got blown around quite a bit, leaves needed to be cleaned out and kids messed with it for the whole month of December.  That year I vowed that I wouldn't put up the rink until the weekend before Christmas.

It was a good rule to live by.  I've had far better success with the rink when I put it up right before a long cold snap.  I hope you do the same.

Re: Putting the Liner Down Early

I own a bulk water supply company and we fill dozens of rinks each year, I also build my own and i agree that putting down your liner early is not always the best thing.. I find right before you get 3-4 cosecutive cold days in a row is generally the best time to drop your liner!By putting your liner down to early you may deal with leaves and other debris which may never be able to get out which will cause a soft spot in your ice or a small hole from other debris.. Also to maybe have to fight with your liner because maybe been blown around..
