Room for first laps and a small shooting lane. A useful fit for a compact, fairly level yard.
The 2026 / 2027 rink season
Find your patch of ice.
Three starting sizes. Each price covers a season of frames and 24-inch boards, a new liner, installation, first-fill help and spring removal.
20 × 32 ft rink
$1,950starting seasonal price
More room to turn and pass. We check how the rink and a clear walking path fit together.
24 × 40 ft rink
$2,650starting seasonal price
A longer run for laps and casual practice. Needs a larger, open yard and room to carry the boards in.
Prices assume a clear yard with modest slope and a working outdoor water source. You supply the water and handle daily upkeep. Extra leveling, difficult access and taller boards are quoted after the visit. No chargeable work starts before you agree to the written price. Frames and boards return to us in spring; we take away the used liner.
Water, then patience
How the first fill works
We measure the low and high sides, set the frame and fit the liner. Once a suitable cold spell is forecast, we help start a single fill to the depth planned for your yard. The hose uses your water supply; filling can take several hours.
We explain when to shut off, how to drain the hose and what to watch while the water freezes. Water use varies with slope and size. A frozen top does not mean the whole rink is ready.
A little work between skates
Keeping the surface usable
Clear loose snow with a plastic shovel before it gets packed down. On suitable cold evenings, a thin layer of water can smooth a worn surface; let it freeze before using the rink again.
Keep skates off soft or pooled areas and pause during a thaw. Check boards and the liner edge regularly. Daily shoveling and resurfacing are yours; we leave a written care sheet. Weather determines how many skating days you get.
Weather sets the pace
The first-freeze schedule
-
November 3–15, 2026 · Look at the yard.
Choose a size, measure slope and agree on access and the written price.
-
November 16–30, 2026 · Set the boards.
Install before the ground becomes hard to work. A late request depends on crew space and ground conditions.
-
Late November–December 2026 · Wait, then fill.
We agree on a filling window when the forecast supports it. A warm stretch moves the window; no opening day is guaranteed.
-
March 1–31, 2027 · Plan the pack-up.
After the ice has thawed, we agree on drainage and return for removal. If ice remains, removal moves later. Grass may need attention after the rink comes up.
Before choosing a size
Does my yard have to be perfectly flat?
No, but a steep slope can make the water too deep at one end. We measure it at the free site visit and may suggest a smaller rink or decline the location.
Can you store the rink over summer?
The frames and boards are ours and go back into our storage after removal. Each new season includes a new liner and a fresh setup plan.
Let’s measure before we promise.
A rough yard size is enough to start. We will check the slope in person.
