A Rink Buyers Guide

If you haven’t purchased your rink yet, and are trying to make up your mind on what to do, ask yourself the following:

1) Liner warranty: NiceRink liners are warranted to hold the water when you get it. Some warranties on the market are for a 5 year “UV warranty”. That’s fine, but UV damage is not going to be the problem as the liners are covered with Snow and Ice during usage, so the UV doesn’t affect the liner. You need a good strong liner to do the work.

2) Can the height of the sides be adjusted? Does the system you’re looking at have a system in place to adjust for the slope in your yard, or does the yard have to be perfectly flat for the system to work? NiceRink will simply adjust to slopes in a yard, by simply changing the board height. No need to stack foam or wood blocks under the sides to get them to the right height. NiceRink Brackets will adjust to 16” of water without any additional support needed.

3) How long has the company been around? NiceRink has been around since 1990, along with our parent company being in business for 57 years, since 1948.

4) Market Reputation? Did you get a referral to use a particular rink system? Do you know someone that had a working rink of what you’re looking at purchasing?

5) Actual Photos of Rinks and Products: When looking at buying a rink system, make sure you know what you’re actually buying. Do you see nice close up photos of what you’re actually buying. What are the sides? How do they adapt to uneven ground? Do you see actual rink pictures showing customers rinks in use with the product being used? On a pitched site?
