Skateable Synthetic Ice
For hockey players and skaters, these skateable synthetic ice tiles are a step up from those back-and-forth slide boards you have to wear shoe booties to use, but still a step down from EZ Ice, a real DIY backyard ice rink.
Then again, with synthetic ice kits available to build up to 400 square feet in size, with no requirement of freezing weather to keep them viable for use, maybe an artificial backyard ice rink is right on par with a real one.
The Skate Anytime Synthetic Ice Tile Kits install on any interior or exterior hard surface, including driveways, backyards, decks, basements, and spare rooms. They look to assemble fairly easily, with rectangular tiles interlocking to create "rinks" in sizes starting at 25 square feet. You can then DIY a barrier with wood beams or other self-sourced materials, or add Skate Anytime's Synthetic Ice Hockey Puck Stopper Edging.
