Backyard pool ready for winter rink conversion

Summer pool. Winter rink.

Your pool becomes a real skating surface for winter, then returns for summer — no permanent changes, no compromises.

Start The Pool Review

One backyard. Two seasons.

A support deck spans the pool, a liner goes down, boards go up, and real ice follows. In spring it all comes off and the pool reopens on schedule.

Real ice where your pool used to be.

Boards, liner, and a properly levelled surface — built around your pool's footprint.

The Conversion
The pool shell isn't removed or altered. A temporary support deck is engineered to span the pool's footprint, distribute load safely, and create a flat skating surface above. The pool is protected throughout — and fully recoverable in spring. Start a feasibility review

01

Pool Survey

Shell geometry, coping type, deck level, and perimeter access are measured before any planning begins.

02

Support Deck

A temporary deck spans the pool, distributes skating loads, and protects the pool surface and coping throughout.

03

Liner & Boards

Liner, board configuration, gate locations, and flood plan are specified around the deck geometry.

04

Spring Reset

The entire system is removed on schedule. The pool reopens the same season. Same components next winter.

The Spring Reset

The system is removed in spring so the pool reopens on time. The entire process is planned from the start — no late scrambles, no surprises.

Turn your pool into a rink this winter.

Tell us about your pool — size, coping type, deck space — and we'll walk you through what the conversion looks like for your property.

Summer pool. Winter rink.

Your pool. Protected throughout.

The pool shell isn't altered. A support deck is sized and positioned to carry skating loads without resting on the pool structure. Coping and tile receive padding during install and removal.

Most installations are removed in spring and reinstalled the following winter — same components, same process.

The Surface

Real boards. Real ice. Real skating.

Boards are configured to fit your pool's footprint. Gates, heights, and surface area are planned around how you want to use it — family skating, hockey, or both.

  • Custom board layout for your pool shape
  • Gate placement planned for easy access
  • Liner thickness specified for pool type
The Option

Add refrigeration for a controlled season.

A portable glycol chiller sits beneath the liner and keeps the surface consistent — starting earlier, lasting longer, and recovering from warm stretches that would ruin a natural-ice setup.

  • Portable unit can be staged away from the primary view
  • Glycol mats sit between the support deck and liner
  • Ice recovery becomes part of the value proposition

How a pool becomes a rink.

01

Survey

Pool shell, coping, deck level, power access, and perimeter are assessed before any planning begins.

02

Span

A temporary support deck is positioned to span the pool opening and protect the pool surface throughout the season.

03

Build

Liner, boards, and optional refrigeration are installed around the deck geometry and site-specific conditions.

04

Reset

The system is removed in spring on a planned schedule so the pool reopens exactly when you need it.

Pool to Rink

Summer pool.
Winter rink.

The same pool that defines summer becomes the thing their friends talk about all winter.

Build the winter around the way you use it.

Every pool converts differently. These are the three most common directions — all reversible, all returning to pool in spring.

Family

Family skating & games

Daily access, no booking, no drive. Morning edge work before school, game nights on the weekend, and the backyard everyone wants to visit.

Athletic

Hockey setup with boards

Proper boards, nets, and a shooting surface over the pool. Built for repetition — the same footprint used in summer, reclaimed entirely for winter.

Premium

Refrigerated season

Add a portable glycol chiller for ice that starts earlier, holds longer, and recovers from warm spells. The most capable pool rink that still goes away in spring.

Pool rink consultation and planning
How it starts

It starts with a pool review, not a sales call.

Pool geometry, coping type, deck space, access, and your winter goals are reviewed before any recommendation. No commitments until the property has been assessed.
