Excellent Synthetic Ice Surface!
My new synthetic ice from Skate Anytime is perfect. I decided to set it up in my garage, under my parked car. I have been driving right on top of the rink, and my front tires rest on the skate panels with no problem. The tiles can withstand the weight of my mid-size SUV. I have figure skates, but have to be careful not to gouge the panels with my bottom pick. I found some discontinued compulsory figures (patch) blades that don’t have the bottom pick that my figure skates have. I also bought a used pair of Bauer hockey skates (no pick), ssince they are the best for keeping the rink panels in top shape. I also used Con-Tact shelf paper as my non-slip surface, so my panels don’t slide around the garage flooring out from underneath me & so far, so good. (I used the Con-Tact Brand Grip Premium Non-Adhesive Contact Shelf and Drawer Liner, 20″ x 4′, 6 Rolls). I added some Target dollar bin lights around the perimeter, my holiday spot light & my iPad with some speakers (so much fun skating with music & mood lighting, & it keeps my eyes on the edges of the rink, so I don’t skate off of it at night). I’ve been skating for over 30 years, so I’ve tested out a few synthetic rinks over the years & I’ve done a great deal of research/product/price watching. This one is low maintenance, durable & affordable. I don’t do many reviews of the products we buy, since we buy a lot of items from Amazon & we are usually happy with what we receive. Hope this info helps. Candace.
