[Query]

I saw this ad at a local rink. Out of curiosity, I called the owner for full info:

410-409-5981
Location: Towson, MD.
Includes plywood, liner, frame.
Land not included.
Packs up into boxes, easy to set up.

Reminders:
1. The land should be flat - a small bulldozer might help.
2. Most of the year around here, will be too warm to skate.
3. When you can skate, "Baby, it's cold outside".
4. Outdoor ice is rarely as good as indoor ice.
5. No ice surfacer included. Perhaps you can re-spray it with water.
6. When ice melts, the water needs some place to go, if it develops a leak.
7. Check zoning laws.
8. Safety and liability issues? May be "an attractive nuisance".
9. Other used and new ice rink kits for sale at eBay and elsewhere.

I really wanted to set up a rink on our patio (it's a large concrete slab), then I realized with no surfacer, it would be hell on the kids' blades, and not worth the "free" ice time.
