This winter you can have your very own ice rink. This Portable 15 Foot Backyard Ice Rink can be set up in no time. If the temperatures drop below 32 F you can start skating or playing hockey, no tools are needed and it is very easy to assemble. It can manage backyards with obstacles and in case of a thaw, its locking system protects and keeps the water inside.
Implications - The portable rink has a PVC frame that protects the liner from damage that could be caused by shovels or skates. The rink is also equipped with a vinyl liner that protects that grass underneath. When you purchase the backyard rink, it comes with an instructional video and a repair kit.
