Assembling Your Rink | Straps
Step 3:
Begin laying out your Straps. Each
Strap clips in
to
the Bracket
Buckles
on either side of the rink.
Make sure the Straps run parallel to the length and width of
the rink and are pulled tight. There should not be any excess
slack in the straps.
STRAPS TIP #1: Laying out Straps
-
You should
NOT
have any diagonal
straps. All straps should run length
or width-wise to your boards.
STRAPS TIP #2: Clicking in
Straps-
It is important to double
check that your straps are
clipped together properly, to
ensure they can hold your rink
together. Make sure you hear
the audible “click” when the
straps buckle into place. If you
do not hear the “click,” the strap
is not locked in place. Each strap
buckle fits together in only one
direction. If the buckles do not fit
together, do not force them to
fit. Try turning either
the
Strap
or
Buckle
over.
To test
your buckle, tug on either end to
ensure it is locked in place.
