Unlike traditional rink kits, YardRink's panels are filled with water and frozen solid, creating an incredibly strong and durable wall that can take the abuse of real puck play. The tarp sits on the outside of the panels, keeping the interior surface completely clear of obstructions and making ice maintenance simple and straightforward. Puck retention nets on both ends keep the action moving and the pucks on the ice where they belong.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Setup is refreshingly simple with no brackets, straps, or kick plates to wrestle with - just connect the UV-resistant HDPE panels, stake the tarp, and fill with water. Every component is engineered for cold-weather performance, from the high-tensile UV-resistant cable ties to the triple-laminate woven tarp. As an officially licensed NHL product, the Starter Rink even comes with three official NHL shield logos, with optional team logo decals available for fans of any of the 32 NHL franchises.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial NHL Licensed Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 3 official NHL shield logos; optional team logo decals available for all 32 NHL teams including vintage options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17' x 35' Oval Rink Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal starter size for younger players and smaller yards, with upgrade options available to Medium, Standard, or Large.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-Filled Panel Walls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panels fill with water and freeze solid, forming an extremely strong and resilient rink board - no hollow boards that crack or flex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarp-Outside Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tarp wraps the exterior of the panels, keeping the rink interior completely free of tarp edges, trip hazards, and damage from skates, pucks, or shovels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV-Resistant HDPE Panels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both straight and curved panels are made from UV-resistant high-density polyethylene for long-lasting outdoor performance season after season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePuck Retention Nets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two included puck retention nets (one per end) keep pucks in play and reduce time spent chasing errant shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Brackets, Straps, or Kick Plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intuitive, tool-friendly assembly uses hex bolts and cable ties - no complicated hardware or proprietary tools required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple-Laminate Tarp with Woven Blue Lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e White oval tarp features woven-in blue lines for an authentic rink look and added durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreight Delivery with Liftgate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships on a single pallet via Truck Freight with liftgate service; freight carrier contacts you to schedule a delivery window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYard Slope Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for yards with up to 10\" of slope in any direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNHL Team Logo Decals \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Team Decals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stick with the 3 included official NHL shield logos for a clean, league-branded look.
