FAQs
How many boxes do I need?
Each box of Synthetic Ice comes with 4 tiles that are each 2' x 4' (8 SF), or 32 SF in total. Thus, measure the length and width of your desired training space to calculate your square footage, and divide by 32 to get the # of boxes.
For reference, an average 2-car garage is 400-600 SF. So if you're looking for tiles to occupy a car stall in the garage training area, you might want ~200SF...or 6-7 boxes.
Can the panels be connected short + long side?
No. The panels are designed to match seamlessly with the same side of each panel. The long side (4 Foot Side) will only match up with other long sides and the short side (2 foot side) will only match up with other short sides.
Can the panels be put on grass, outside, or an uneven/sloped surface?
Yes! Our Synthetic Ice is manufactured with a UV-protective coating to enable either indoor or outdoor use. That said, a few useful tips if you plan to use the tiles outdoors:
1) The panels work better on a hard, flat surface, however, so while use on grass is certainly possible, results are better on driveway, garage floor, basement floor, etc. If you really want to train on grass, consider placing plywood sheet(s) underneath to create a hard surface.
2)The panels may shift with temperature changes, so double-check that your surface is flat before each use. Stomp down the seams if any heaving occured.
3) If you use outdoors, we suggest clearing off leaves, sticks, and other debris before using for optimal training results.
Do I need to sharpen my skates after?
In our experience, the panels will dull your saktes faster than regular ice. Before you go back to the ice rink, we would recommend getting them sharpened or designate a set of replaceable blades just skating on your Synthetic Ice.
