Step One: Remove snow and debris to clear a space for
the ice rink.
Step Two: Select a border/edge material for the ice rink
(i.e. logs or pipe).
Step Three: Construct a raised perimeter for the ice rink.
Preferably no larger than your ice membrane (plastic).
Step Four: Unroll the ice membrane checking to make
sure it will fit the dimensions of the raised perimeter.
Step Five: Stretch the ice membrane from edge to edge
and end to end, wrapping the ice membrane over and
under the outside of the raised perimeter material.
Step Six: Fill/cover the ice membrane with snow and
water. Make sure to stretch the ice membrane as is fills
to ensure there are no air bubbles or raised flaps in the
ice membrane.
Step Seven: Using the snow that was cleared from the
site, pack the snow on and around the raised perimeter
to create a protective layer until the water freezes.
Step Eight: Fill/cover the ice membrane until water
reaches the upper level of the raised membrane. Wait
until the water has completely frozen. Enjoy... your
brand new, homemade ICE RINK!

It's Wednesday night... conditions are perfect.
There's nothing on TV...
Conditions are perfect... to freeze an ice rink.
