YardRink Standard Backyard Ice Rink 26' x 53'
Description
The YardRink Standard Rink brings a real ice hockey experience right to your backyard, sized at 26' x 53' and built for teams of 5 or more players of any age or skill level. This is an officially licensed NHL product, so you can deck out your rink with your favorite team's logos and play on ice that feels as official as it looks. The water-filled panel system creates incredibly strong walls that handle hard puck play along both the straight and smoothly curved sections without giving an inch.
What sets YardRink apart is the smart, tarp-on-the-outside design that keeps the interior surface clean, safe, and free from shovels, skates, and pucks ever catching on the liner. Setup is straightforward with no brackets, straps, or kick plates to fumble with, and maintenance is minimal since there's no exposed tarp on the rink's interior. Whether it's your first backyard rink or an upgrade from a smaller setup, the Standard Rink is a proven, well-engineered solution trusted by hockey families across North America.

FAQ
How does the water-filled panel system work?
Each panel has a fill port that you use to fill the panel with water. Once filled and exposed to freezing temperatures, the water inside solidifies, turning each panel into a rigid, ice-solid wall section. This creates a very strong board system that resists puck impacts and player contact far better than hollow plastic panels alone.
Why is the tarp on the outside of the boards?
YardRink's signature tarp-outside design means the liner is protected by the panels themselves. Traditional rinks route the tarp under or inside the boards, where it's vulnerable to being sliced by skate blades, hit by pucks, or torn during shoveling. With the tarp on the outside, none of those hazards can reach it, significantly extending the life of the liner.
How long does setup take?
Most customers report setup taking just a few hours with a couple of helpers. There are no brackets, straps, or kick plates to wrestle with - the panels link together intuitively and the tarp is laid over the outside. The most time-consuming part is typically securing the cable ties. Flooding and freezing depends on your local temperatures.
What slope can my yard have?
YardRink is designed for yards with no more than 10 inches of slope in any direction. If you're unsure about your yard's grade, YardRink's customer care team can help you assess whether your location is suitable before you order.
How is the rink delivered?
The Standard Rink ships on two pallets via Truck Freight with liftgate service included. The freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window, and a signature is required at delivery. You'll receive tracking information via email once your order ships. Delivery typically takes about a week after your order is processed.
Can I choose any NHL team for the logo decals?
Yes - you can choose from all 32 current NHL franchises as well as several vintage team options including the Hartford Whalers, Edmonton Oilers Vintage, Pittsburgh Penguins Vintage, and Minnesota North Stars. Three team logo decals are included with your selection, in addition to the 3 NHL shield logos that come standard with every rink.
Can I upgrade to a larger rink size later?
Yes! YardRink offers upgrade options, including the ability to upgrade from the Standard to the Large rink size. Contact the team or check the site for current upgrade pricing and availability.
