This Company Lets You Build an Ice Rink in Your Backyard in Under an Hour

With winter definitely upon people living in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time to get ready for Winter Sports season. But if you don’t live near an ice rink then you might be feeling like you are missing out on the action. Fortunately, the team from EZ ICE have developed a really easy way for you to build an ice rink in your backyard. Most DIY home ice rinks require boards to be hammered or staked into the ground. The EZ ICE employs a patent-pending technique that uses strapping and the weight of the frozen water to hold the rink perimeter in place. What does this mean? It means that EZ ICE rinks can be installed on any surface: pavement, tennis or basketball courts, frozen ground, or soft grass. There is no concern for damaging the underlying surface or for damaging underground structures such as sprinkler plumbing. The lack of stakes means that the ice rink can be set up on almost any ground surface including pavement, tennis or basketball courts, frozen ground, or soft grass. The rink won’t damage the surface or interfere with underground services.

Once the boards are in place, you simply fill the rink with water and wait for the cold weather to give you a nice frozen surface. The liner is bright white and designed to reflect the sun as much as possible to ensure your rink stays frozen for the longest time possible. The rink is easy to install and can be done by one person in under an hour. The boards are made from high-quality molded plastic and weigh less than 10 pounds each.
