These three things are CRITICAL to your success!

1. DO NOT HURRY, for example, a weather front is moving into your area. With today’s weather patterns, there will always be another window of opportunity to install your rink
2. DO YOUR HOMEWORK on your slope. Learn about what the height of your boards should be in order to accommodate; every yard has a slope, regardless of how “perfect” you think it looks
3. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BEST ASSET, YOUR LINER! Even though we have engineered the strongest rink poly this year…EVER….and even stronger than any 6 mil product we have tested you still should never take any thing for granted.

• Do not drag your liner.
• Do not walk on it when assembling your rink. If you must then you do so on your own risk. It amazes us on a yearly basis those few rink builders .05% that think it’s OK to walk on their best asset as it sits atop gravel, field stubble etc and then wonder what happened when they have punctures.
• Have some help when it comes to laying your liner and lay it in straight and parallel to sides and square to ends.  Avoid anything that could snag on your liner that could be considered as a potential hazard
• If you are using a water truck to fill your rink please note: Water truck and any rink framing protrusions are a bad combo for snag tears to your most important asset, your liner!!! This is due to the extreme force by heavy fast moving quantities of water as it fills your rink.
