Rink Stake 5 in 1 Combo Pack

Attention Rink Builders: You Will Find This of Interest!

Almost all rink sites have a section or an area where one end or one side is lower than another. It is thought that 95% of backyards have a slope of more than 1%. This mere 1% of a grade results in a drop of 6″ over 50′. Using a wood frame in this scenario is your best way to a successful rink. You may even find opposite corners that are different. You, the builder, need to determine where your extra Rink Stake 5 in 1 placement will be for best deep water support. You won’t need to place your rink stakes every 2 feet. Placement is determined by water depth.  Find your slope  and your water depth by using a Transit, a laser line level, or a string line level. Here is the easy calculation once you have determined your slope.

A survey done in 2019 noted that the average backyard had a slope of between 4 – 16″. This would leave the average water depth around 12″!

Hence our recommendation on measuring your property slope and to NOT guess at what they naked eye sees.

 

The following are general guides for your Rink Stake 5 in 1 placement. At each seam where your rink framing material meets end to end is your starting point.

15″ – 18″ of water requires a Rink Stake 5 in 1 and a 22″ Support 45 every 2′

12″ – 15″ of water requires a Rink Stake 5 in 1 and a 17″ Support 45 every 3′

8″ – 11″ of water requires a Rink Stake 5 in 1 and a 17″ Support 45 every 4′-6′

5″ – 7″ of water requires a Rink Stake 5 in 1 every 6′-8′ (no Support 45 needed)

Up to 4″ of water requires a Rink Stake 5 in 1 every 10′-12′ (no Support 45 needed)

*If in doubt, always order a few extras. This will secure your rink system and lead to your ultimate rink success.

Personalize your rink so it only comes one way … The way you want it!
