๐ก Ice Rink Water Calculation
Volume = Length ร Width ร Ice Depth. A typical backyard rink is 10-15m long, 5-8m wide, with 5-10cm of ice. Even a modest rink requires thousands of litres of water.
Fill time is estimated at ~40 litres per minute from a standard garden hose. Building ice in layers (1-2cm at a time, letting each freeze before adding more) produces the best quality ice. Temperature must be consistently below -5ยฐC.
12m ร 6m ร 10cm = 7.2 mยณ = 7,200 litres (1,902 US gallons). Fill time โ 3 hours.
