SmartRink was a great option for our corporate event. Between getting equipment shipped, onsite help and the overall look of the ice, everything went off without a hitch and looked fantastic. Our guests had a great time and talked about it months after our event."

Synthetic Ice Event & Rental Benefits
1 Unique Attraction
If you’re looking to provide a unique attraction at your next community or corporate event than look no further than synthetic ice rentals from SmartRink. What’s more, synthetic ice can be placed anywhere that there is a flat and hard surface which allows for creative implementations.
2 Generate Media
Attention A unique attraction generates extra media buzz, which therefore promotes your event and provides post-event recaps and media attention.
3 Low Maintenance
Enjoy all the fun without the maintenance costs and time investment of an ice rink because you need none of the equipement required for ice. What’s more, there’s no need to worry about ice melting and resurfacing. Instead, focus on managing the event, not the ice!
4 Sponsor Revenue
Potential With the added media buzz, synthetic ice rentals at community and corporate events provide a great opportunity, consequently providing sponsorship opportunity for event sponsors.
5 Creates Excitement
We often rent synthetic ice in areas where ice time is hard to come by or expensive due to limited surfaces and high demand. Moreover, by renting synthetic ice for your event it will create excitement for those who don’t normally get to skate or who have never learned to skate.
6 Great Event
Memories Synthetic ice events create lasting memories, and further to this, we often receive requests to support annual events.

Frequently Asked Questions
We get many questions from people interested in using synthetic ice as the focal point of their next community or corporate event. Therefore, here are some of the frequently asked questions we receive about synthetic ice events and rentals which will help guide you through the process.
Yes. Normal ice hockey or figure skates. The experience will be better if the skates are sharp – because it is just like real ice.
Yes. The product can be used for all those activities.
Yes. Depending on the location we might have some concerns about which of our products might be best suited for the ground at your location. The operational temperature range? is between minus 40 C and plus 50 C.
Typically we place the product on pallets and hire a freight carrier (usually trucking firm) to take it to the site for unloading.
Depending on the type of product, the application, the size, and the location / venue it could be as fast as 1 hour, or take as long as 10 hours – or more. The teardown always takes less time
If we are working the event then we will look after everything. If the client is responsible for care and operation of the rink then they will need to keep things clean and also need to spray the glide solution on once or twice a day.
The ideal location indoors would be a convention or tradeshow like space – like a hockey arena with a concrete floor. Wood floors, or even some carpeted floors could work really well also.
For outside applications we have installed on concrete, asphalt, and even grass and snow. Additionally, in all cases the best spot is one where there is room to set up and teardown, plus the area is fairly level. An area that is not level does not make for the best skating experience.
We have a few options available for events and rentals. Depending on the application we can recommend the best one for you and one that fits your budget.
Really that will depend on the size of the rink. Some common sizes for rentals and events are 40feet x 80feet, 30feet x 60feet, 30feet x 40feet, 16feet x 33feet, and so on. In addition to the rink you will want to allow for a crowd perimeter and enough space to safely allow crews to set up and tear down.
Security from theft really depends on the product. Some lighter duty products could be taken apart and stolen. Its always a good idea to ensure there is site security just to be sure.
All products could be vandalized. Graffiti is probably the biggest concern. A security presence during an event can normally prevent this. It really has never been much of an issue.
Yes. We will often train new crew at an event to help with setup or tear down. Within 10-20 minutes we can have them productive. We do ask that they have proper personal protective equipment such as safety rated footwear, gloves, and access to hardhats and gloves and safety glasses if the job site requires it.
Generally we require a 25% deposit to secure the booking for one of our rinks. This ensures you will have that rink on the dates you want it. We like to have 50% of the contract paid prior to the event and then the balance is due upon teardown. Sometimes the timing and amounts required can vary depending on the length of the event.
All our panels are manufactured for high performance, because SmartRink is designed to be a more economical and highly competitive alternative to our ProFast material.
Certain applications require a stronger panel connection system. For example if we were to install on grass or even an unlevel asphalt surface then we would have to use a positive connection system – one that could not separate vertically or horizontally.
