Assembling Your Rink | Liner
Step 4:
It’s time to add your liner.
To place the
Liner,
center it
over the rink and drape the
edges over the top of the
Boards.
Start by lining it up
correctly lengthwise, with enough excess to fold over
the boards on both ends. Then unfold it, and adjust it
along the width.
You will need to pull the liner out around the
Double
and Arena Height Board Connectors.
You may have to
bunch it around the poles a bit.
Hold off on adding the
Liner Clips
until after your rink is
filled with water.
Before you begin:
LINER TIP #1: Inspecting your Liner
- After
taking your rink
Liner
out of the box,
inspect it for any holes. Tears in the liner
may cause your rink to leak after it has
been filled. Remember, when transporting
the liner to your rink, do not drag it across
the ground, as this may cause tears.
LINER TIP #2
:
Laying out the Liner
-
The liner is the heaviest component in an EZ
ICE kit. Depending on the size of your liner, it
may take some adjusting to line up. Be sure
to center the liner in your rink, so there is
roughly the same amount of excess plastic
hanging over all sides. You may want to ask
your family members, kids, or neighbors to
help with this part.
LINER TIP #3: Larger Liner
-
Liners should be at least 5 feet longer in
length and width in order to fold over your
Boards. After filling, you may fold the Liner
under your
Brackets, or trim the end with a
box cutter or scissors. Liners do not need to
be perfectly even, as long as it covers the
entire rink. Remember, the goal is a
functioning ice rink!
