Testimonials

When I came across YardRink, I was immediately drawn to the tarp on the outside of the rink.

Discovering YardRink was like finding a gem in a sea of options. I spent time researching different backyard rink solutions and was impressed by YardRink's design, reasonable pricing, and the added benefit of having the tarp on the outside. Watching our kids' skating and hockey skills improve daily has been immensely rewarding.

This is so much better than the last rink! Watching the puck whip all the way around the corner is amazing.

A few hockey dads came by after I built it and said, “Whoa... what a beauty!” My brother was equally impressed. It’s just so cool!

When we set the rink up, my thirteen-year-old son eagerly helped, especially with zip-tying the tarp to the rink’s exterior. As a first-time backyard rink owner, I had moments of uncertainty, but the final product exceeded my expectations. I particularly appreciated the rink’s design, as the boards created a smooth surface for the puck to glide around without getting stuck.

The boards are filled with water, creating fantastic stability for the rink. It’s one of the reasons YardRink is the Preferred Back Yard Rink of XG Hockey.

YardRink played a role in helping my kids stay active this winter and providing a bonding experience for the entire family.

This backyard hockey rink isn’t just a patch of ice – it’s a source of shared joy, especially for my son. It’s the place where he hones his hockey skills with unwavering dedication. Every moment spent on the rink is a testament to his passion for the game.

Fitting the boards together and flooding them was surprisingly easy, and the rink felt sturdy and playable. We love that our YardRink plays and feels like a real rink. The nets worked seamlessly as we practiced our shooting with the goal set up on the ice. While it might be common knowledge in the ODR community, the tarp on the outside of the rink was a total game-changer for us – I couldn't believe more people weren’t doing this already.

One of the best family experiences we’ve created over the past five years is incorporating a YardRink into our backyard. The opportunity for our kids to get outdoors to burn energy, be social with each other and friends, and learn to skate was very appealing. Investing in a YardRink feels like all the same reasons we invested in a trampoline for warmer-weather fun.

When deciding to invest in an outdoor rink, you can look at a benefit-cost ratio all you want. However, there have been days when we've been home and all my son is doing is spending time on the rink. That to me is something you can't put a cost on. When I’m thinking about whether I made the right decision purchasing a YardRink or the right decision to level our yard, I remember that it's exceeded our wildest expectations because our son is practicing and having fun.

The rounded edges of the rink are incredible and my kids love it because they can practice how they will typically play in a game. We can’t get our kids to step off the ice and come inside!

For all the expected benefits of creating an outdoor space for my kids, I didn’t fully understand the magnetic attraction it would provide our neighborhood. We welcomed anyone who wanted to skate to come by and enjoy it with us.

Winter gets a bad reputation compared to the other seasons, but I think that is because people haven’t found enjoyable activities to do outside. It’s understandable that nobody likes standing outside in the cold, but it’s an entirely different experience when you are out skating on the rink with your kids and having fun. Staying active during the winter can be challenging, but YardRink has solved that problem for our family. With this fun and easy-to-use rink, we're able to spend more quality time together outdoors, even during the colder months.

Great backyard setup. We enjoy the view from the bedroom! The family has been enjoying the rink this season. I like your design for many reasons. It’s badass and has been holding strong. It’s pretty sweet. So far it’s been a great product. Cheers!

Love, love, love this setup and design!!! We just installed our rink in our yard and it’s awesome. Our kids are so excited for this winter and skating in their own yard. We can’t thank YardRink enough!

Witnessing my son’s dedication to improving his hockey skills on the ice brings me great joy. YardRink’s outer tarp is a fantastic feature as it allows puck play along the boards, simulating a real rink experience.

My son wasted no time once our YardRink froze over. He would spend hours on the ice, engrossed in his beloved sport.

After struggling for years trying to perfect our DIY backyard rink, discovering YardRink felt like fate. I found YardRink’s easy setup process to be much smoother than the DIY projects we have done in the past. Unlike the square rinks we are used to, YardRink has curved edges and the pucks won't get stuck in the corner.
