What Is "Rink In A Box"?

A "rink in a box" is exactly what it sounds like: one box containing everything you need to build a complete outdoor skating or hockey rink in your backyard - without having to scramble for parts, lumber trips, or complicated planning.

Buy Only what you Need

Not everyone wants or needs the whole “rink in a box.” If you already have wood or reusable brackets, RinkMaster lets you customize your setup. This flexibility makes outdoor ice affordable for everyone.
