Rinkbuild

3 ways to build a rink like a professional!

1. Laser level
When we build a backyard rink we are laser levelling as we build, and before major miles stone of the build (positioning,skating and lining)

2. Bracing
Simply screwing rink board together with L brackets won’t be able to handle Toronto winters. A proper bracing system is critical to prevent blow outs!

3. Quality liners
Liners are what keep the ice in one place, 1 hole or tear can be the ending of a season. We use premium white liners at 12 mills to ensure the ice can handle Torontos weather.

How to get your ice back in shape 🧊
A major cold front is rolling in tomorrow — finally.

You can start as early as tonight 👇

1️⃣ Clear the rink
Remove everything: pucks, nets, sticks, branches. Dig items out of the ice if needed.

2️⃣ Flood it
Do a moderate to heavy flood to re-level the surface, fill grooves, and seal over frozen rain or slush.

❄️ Let it freeze all day
Once fully frozen, resume normal rink maintenance and skating.

Warm Weather Tips for Backyard Rinks ❄️
Toronto is seeing above-zero daytime temps and milder evenings over the next few days. If you want to protect your ice, follow these key tips while conditions are soft:

1️⃣ Do not flood, Zamboni, or torch until temps drop to at least -2°C

2️⃣ Remove everything from the rink surface — nets, pucks, and debris

3️⃣ Shovel fresh snow only — avoid slush or frozen rain

4️⃣ Skates only on the ice — frozen footprints are rink killers

Can I still skate? ✅ Yes

Should I shovel slush or wet snow? ❌ No — shovels can dig into soft ice and create bumps once it refreezes

Protect the ice now = better skating later 👌
