How do I take down my YardRink?
Instruction with illustrations are provided in the one-page laminated set up and take down card that comes with your rink. Here's the summary:
-
Drain the rink: Choose a spot to start draining your rink. Near that spot cut several cable ties and carefully fold down the free tarp, releasing a controlled flow of rink water. If needed, work your way around the rink cutting additional cable ties and carefully folding down the tarp. (Note: You will need to order new cable ties for the next season.)
-
Remove the stakes from the ground.
-
Empty the panels: Once the rink is empty, cut all remaining cable ties and unfasten all hex head bolts (save them for use next winter!) Tip over each panel to empty it.
-
Stack the panels: For off-season storage, stack panels head-to-toe. (You may wish to use the shipping boxes.) If your tarp is in reusable condition, allow it to dry thoroughly before folding.
-
Store disassembled rink for reuse next season: Store your YardRink in a garage, or other suitable area, to enjoy next winter!
