After building your backyard rink it’s time to install the liner. You don’t want to rush this process though as having your liner in too early can cause some problems (debris build up, and tears that cause leaks)

When to install your liner and how to fill it

• When the weather will be consistently below 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) for 5 days
• Have a way to fill it set up (either by hose or water delivery truck)
• Fill it all at once so it freezes all at once
• You need 4 inches of ice to skate on, so no need to fill your rink right to the top
