Smart Hockey Rink Design
We offer two standard hockey board heights of 42″ and 24″ tall and our standard width is 48″. Both hockey arena boards are offered with a player gate and rounded corners.
All D1 hockey boards are made with a heavy duty aluminum frame and have the same dasher material you would find in a regulation ice rink featuring a BLUE caprail, WHITE dasher face and YELLOW kickplate.
Multiple Installation Options
There are several methods for installing the D1 hockey rink boards. You may mount them directly to any wall or flat surface. You may also choose from our permanent or portable board supports depending on the particulars of your hockey rink project.

We will work with you to make your measurements work. If your hockey rink project needs custom rink board(s) made to ensure a perfect fit, we will customize our hockey arena boards at no charge.

Assembly Instructions
Preparation
Your rink setup will be much easier with the help of another 1-2 person(s).
Depending on your rink size, your D1 rink will arrive on one or more pallets. Remove the packaging and take inventory. When your order arrives, we encourage you to unwrap the packaging and inspect the order to confirm there has been no damage during transit.
THE COMPONENTS OF YOUR D1 RINK WILL INCLUDE:
Hockey Boards: All D1 Hockey Boards come fully assembled with a BLUE Caprail, WHITE Dasher Face and YELLOW Kickplate.
Bolts & Nuts: These fasteners connect the Boards to each one another, along with respective Board Support(s) as described below.
THE HOCKEY BOARDS MAY BE ANCHORED USING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS:
Mounted: The Hockey Boards may be mounted directly to any flat surface (wall, beam, post, etc.). This anchoring option is used mainly for indoor installations where the Hockey Boards are intended to “butt up” against walls.
The Boards are 3″ deep and we recommend gold construction screws at least 5″ in length:
- 3″ for the depth of the Board; and
- 2″ to “bite” into the material you are fastening to
- 1 fastener near each of the 4 corners of the Board works great!
Staked: The Hockey Boards may be staked into the ground using the D1 Kickers. The D1 Kickers bolt to the top of the Hockey Boards and come down to the ground at a 45-degree angle resting 24″ away from the backside of the Hockey Boards.
We recommend at least 18″ long x 3/8″ diameter stakes.
Weight: When mounting or anchoring is not an option, the Hockey Boards may be weighed down by adding the D1 Base Kicker. The D1 Base Kicker attaches to the bottom of the Hockey Board and connects with the D1 Kicker up to 24″ away from the backside of the Hockey Board. This is the most common option for installations when penetrating the sub surface is not an option.
We recommend at least 50 lbs for each Tall Board and 25 lbs for each Short Board.
Lagged: The Hockey Boards may be secured with the D1 Anchor Plate (4” x 6”). The D1 Anchor Plate has 2 holes 3/8” diameter and sits 12″ behind the Hockey Boards.
We recommend lagging at least 2” into any hard flat surface, but no more than ½” from the bottom of the depth of the sub surface. This option is used for permanent installations.
D1 is available to answer any questions you may have during your installation. Please call us at 855-355-3131 or email sales@d1backyardrinks.com
