Great timing, started planning our rink today.

Kids are small and it will mostly be for skating practice, so planning on just building it on our paver patio that is already pretty level, rather than worrying about slope on the lawn. Probably end up being 20'x8' or so. Plan to use 2x8s or plywood for the sides with a tarp as a liner.

Since hammering in stakes into the ground is off the table (patio), I was planning on using some cable or strapping (under the liner) to hold the sides together so the water doesn't bust it out.

Any initial thoughts on issues?
