Product Questions

EZ ICE Rinks are engineered from the highest quality materials in the industry – including the same high density, durable, plastic as NHL boards. In order to manufacture each rink, EZ ICE uses about a dozen manufacturing techniques in order to create the best backyard ice rink components in the world. All EZ ICE Rinks are designed to be simple and convenient to use and store. EZ ICE Rinks are not just tougher than the harshest winters, but can also withstand the hardest slap shots in the world.

Each Original straight EZ ICE board is 16” tall x 60” (5ft) long x 1.5” wide. The PRO EZ ICE boards are the same height and width, and are 59" long (just under 5 ft). With the added 1 inch Board Connector, each section of board will be 5 ft. EZ ICE boards are perfect for keeping the puck within the rink, while allowing for easy 60-minute assembly.

With the PRO Home Arena System, you can stack your boards to make Double or Arena Height walls. Double Height walls are 32 inches tall, and Arena Height walls are 48 inches tall. If you want to stick with the Classic Rink, your boards will be 16 inches tall.

Yes! The PRO Home Arena Systems are completely customizable. Check out the Custom Calculator under "PRO Home Arena System" to see the variety of options available. 

The red brackets extend 15” beyond the boards and are placed every 5 feet at the intersection of each board. EZ ICE brackets are 4” wide which allows them to be incredibly sturdy, while also very easy to store in the summer.

All of our liners are made from 6 mil bright white poly. EZ ICE liners are strong enough to stand up to sticks and pucks even at sub-freezing temperatures. Our ultra-white liners ensure your rink freezes much faster than nearby ponds or lakes!

EZ ICE liners are solid white and do not have a logo on them. The logo in the pictures is just for fun on our website.

EZ ICE Rinks are engineered from the highest quality materials. Besides the liner, all components are engineered to last 10 years or more. EZ ICE liners typically last 1 to 3 years, but most customers choose to replace their liner each winter. EZ ICE Rinks come with a 1-year warranty, but they are so well engineered that we have hardly ever had to replace anything!

Yes, EZ ICE Rinks are very easy to expand in future years. Making your rink smaller is as simple as removing boards and brackets until you reach your desired dimensions. EZ ICE straps can be easily shortened like the straps on a backpack.

Yes! With the new PRO Home Arena System, you can add netting to the Arena Height walls, making a 10 foot tall section to keep pucks inside your rink. The netting can easily be installed in under 10 minutes.

Any EZ ICE Rink without Classic Height boards will come with an EZ Door, for access in and out of the rink. This means no climbing over boards to get onto the ice. 

General Questions

The best size for your rink depends on the size of your available space, intended use (competitive hockey vs. recreational), and approximate age of the skaters. Here are some things to consider:

  • Your kids will have fun on any size rink, and most families will go as large as their yard will allow.
  • Rounded corners are best for playing hockey.
  • Municipalities and Commercial use should factor 25-50sq ft per skater.
  • A regulation hockey rink is 85’ x 200’, but most families choose rinks between 20’ x 40’ and 60’ x 100’.
