Liner Protection System

Our Liner Protection System prevents board melt of the rinks edges and assists in maintaining the rink liner so it can be revived for annual usage. A great concept that is easy to install and pays for itself easily over 1 1/2 years. Think of it this way...........You pay for your liner the first year and add the Liner Protection System (L.P.S.) at an approx cost of half again. The second year you have no shipping cost, no replacement liner cost, no L.P.S. cost and you save time and money not to mention the environment. You can get up to 4 years or more from your liner if you store it, take care of it and mark it properly.

1. You help out the environment by utilizing your liner for not 1 year, but 3 or more.

2. You help out your pocketbook by saving your liner replacement cost for 3 years or more. Save time too!

3. You help out your rink surface and edges by virtually eliminating "board melt" therefore extending your skate times daily or weekly/monthly.

You will need to address the storage of your liner for 8 months. Safe storage is a must so mice and other hazards are kept away enabling you to re use "WITHOUT HASSLE" your liner. If you are a new rink builder or have never had a puncture or tear in your liner you will not understand the phrase above "without hassle" Some of you reading this now, will only smile and nod. You can use 4 mil or 6 mil liners and make this system work. See Liner Linguistics for a frank discussion on liners in general.

IN SUMMARY: It does'nt matter how thick your liner is if you have no means of protection for it. Damage from shovels, snow blowers, skates, figure skate pics, hockey sticks and all other means of wear and tear is NOW avoidable with the L.P.S. Liner Protection System.

IF YOU ARE USING PLYWOOD FRAMING FOR YOUR RINK OR HAVE HIGHER BOARDS THAN SHOWN IN OUR PICTURES YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO USE THE L.P.S. BUT WITH OUT THE BULLNOSING. THE PUCKBOARD PART IS TACKED ON COVERING THE 4" OR 6" ABOVE THE WATER LINE THEREFORE SAVING THE LINER FROM DESTRUCTION. YOU MAY EVEN FASTEN THE L.P.S. WITH LINER CLIPS THEREFORE AVOIDING ALL HOLES FROM SCREWS OR NAILS.
