How to Build Hockey Rink Boards

Adding Rink Boards to your backyard ice rink really gives it the "hockey rink" feel. Not only does it look more like an actual hockey rink but it allows shooting and passing, while protecting spectators and your property

Your hockey rink boards should be strong enough to keep pucks in play and provide a safe enclosure for players. When you're setting up a backyard rink, rugged boards are a must-have for an authentic hockey experience.
