Backyard Ice Rink Brackets

NiceRink BracketsThe NiceRink ™ brackets were designed and engineered based on the knowledge we've gained from building and skating on our own backyard ice rink / outdoor rinks using the traditional backyard ice rink sideboard and pounded stakes method. The NiceRink ™ brackets eliminate the need to "build" a rink. They are easy to use and cut installation time by at least half. With that in mind, we know you'll enjoy the practical purpose and clean esthetic look of the bracket's design on your NiceRink ™ 

The NiceRink ™ brackets are designed to accommodate 3-16" of ice with no additional support needed. This is accomplished by using our Thermoformed Plastic Sideboards, or a 3/4" thick plywood in variable height panels of 12", 16" or 24" as required by your rinks location, design and how the rink will be used. The ability to adjust the board height makes it easier to erect a rink on uneven or sloping ground. The minimum board height is 8" with a maximum suggested height without additional support of 24". This allows for as much as a 12" pitch (16" of ice) using the NiceRink brackets alone.

Backyard Ice Rink Side Boards

NiceRink BoardsThe clever hinge design allows the NiceRink boards to be interlocked for a nice sturdy sideboard. In addition to the hinge interlocking design, NiceRink backyard ice rink boards will also allow a swivel action in order for anyone to create radius type corners, without the need for anything additional.

The dual purpose stacking buttons along the top of the boards also act in conjunction with the Nicerink Bumpercaps. By carefully placing the buttons at an optimum height from the top of the board they aid in helping to secure your bumpercaps to the boards to help prevent them from blowing off.

Boards Measure: 18"tall, 4' long, 1"thick Boards Weight: 8 Lbs. (Less than half the weight of 16"x 4'x 3/4" piece of plywood.)

Backyard Ice Rink Liners

NiceRink LinersOrdering the NiceRink backyard ice rink liner is a very simple affair. After determining what size rink you'd like, add 5' to the length and 5' to the width to get your ice rink liner size. Examples: 35' x 45' rink requires a 40' x 50' liner, a 55' x 95' rink requires and 60' x 100' liner. This will give you 2.5' of liner around the entire perimeter of your rink to go up the inside edge of the boards to contain the water/ice. As mentioned in our NiceRink pricing, the sizes of liner available are dependent upon which liner type you select. NiceRink #1 material is available in widths of; 20',30', 35', 40',50',60',70',80',90' and so on. When the width of a NiceRink #1 liner is over 70', the width must be the 10' increment. For NiceRink #3 material, the liners can be ordered in most widths of 6' increments starting with 24' wide up to 198' (Minimum length 50 feet). The NiceRink "CheapSkate" material is available in widths of 32',40', 50' & 60' only. If you have any questions, PLEASE call us @ 888-NiceRink for help!

Backyard Ice Rink Ice Resurfacers

NiceRink Ice ResurfacersThe NiceIce™ Resurfacer is made of solid lifetime steel, not PVC plastic, and is a MUST for any rink

The NiceIce™ resurfacer is a portable, hand-operated tool that makes creating and maintaining a high-quality ice rink a snap. The Patented NiceIce™ resurfacer consists of an easy to handle galvanized steel pipe frame that serves as a conduit for water feed by a garden hose systematically distributing the water evenly onto the ice and smoothed on contact by the NiceIce™ resurfacing mat. Thin, controlled applications of water produce a Super Smooth Surface to any rink in minutes.

The NiceIce™ resurfacer comes in 4 sizes: 28, 36, 52 and 66 inch.

Rick O' Shay Thermoformed Goal Blocker

Rick O'Shay Goal Blockers

NEW - AWESOME. This is all we could say when we saw this brand new item. It's actually a friend of ours who came to us with this idea to see what we thought. "Are you kidding me", I said. How fast can you we start producing these. Imagine playing hockey anytime and having a goalie on your own backyard ice rink! This Three dimensional thermoformed goalie will make the puck react just like a regular goalie. Giving up rebounds and deflections in an infinite number of directions, just like a real game.

Rick O Shay can even make real glove saves to stop the play for even more life like action. No more shooting at a flat piece of plastic or wood, and having the puck just lay there for easy tap in goals.
