Outdoor Post-Tension Concrete Hockey Rinks & Inline Rinks
Engineered to Withstand the Elements. Built for Non-Stop Action.
At Classic Turf Company, we bring our pioneering post-tension concrete technology to the rink. By applying the same advanced structural engineering used in our championship tennis and basketball courts, we build outdoor hockey rinks that eliminate structural cracking and withstand the harshest freeze-thaw cycles.
The Post-Tension Advantage for Outdoor Rinks
When it comes to hockey, surface integrity is everything. A single hairline crack or unlevel surface can ruin a play. Post-tension concrete utilizes high-strength steel cables threaded through the concrete slab and tensioned after pouring, compressing the concrete to maximize its tensile strength.
- Zero Structural Cracks: By keeping the concrete under continuous compression, post-tensioning prevents the cracking and shifting common in traditional concrete or asphalt.
- Guaranteed Longevity: We stand behind our engineering. Our post-tension concrete slabs come backed by a 50-year structural warranty, giving you ultimate peace of mind.
- Flawless Puck Roll: An incredibly flat, monolithic pour ensures consistent puck behavior, true bounces, and predictable speed for inline, floor, and dek hockey.
Our Full-Service, Design-Build Process
We don’t just pour the concrete; we handle the entire project from concept to puck drop. Our team guides you through every step:
- Design & Engineering: Custom sizing, subgrade evaluation, and structural engineering tailored to your specific site and climate requirements.
- Excavation & Base Prep: Ensuring a rock-solid foundation, utilizing proper drainage systems to mitigate water retention below the slab.
- Post-Tension Concrete Construction: Precision pouring and tensioning executed by our in-house, certified concrete specialists.
- Dasher Boards & Equipment: Complete integration of heavy-duty outdoor dasher board systems, fencing, goal cages, and professional-grade sports lighting.

Indoor Ice Arenas: Precision Structural Concrete
Indoor Ice Arenas: Precision Structural Concrete
While post-tensioning is the ultimate solution for combating outdoor weather extremes, indoor ice hockey rinks demand a highly specialized approach to traditional concrete construction. Building an indoor ice arena is a game of extreme precision, requiring a flawless, monolithic pour that seamlessly integrates complex mechanical systems.
From local community rinks to premier training facilities, we bring our signature attention to detail to traditional structural concrete pours, delivering a rock-solid foundation for peak indoor performance.
An indoor ice sheet is only as good as the floor beneath it. Our team handles the exacting structural concrete requirements essential for climate-controlled indoor facilities:
- Sub-Floor Heating Integration: We coordinate and pour precisely over the critical under-floor heating layers that prevent the ground below the arena from freezing and heaving.
- Refrigeration Pipe Encapsulation: Precision is paramount when pouring around miles of delicate refrigeration tubing. We ensure perfect depth consistency so the entire floor cools evenly, preventing soft spots in the ice.
- Flawless Level Tolerances: A perfectly flat concrete floor means an even ice thickness throughout the sheet. This drastically reduces energy costs for the facility’s chillers and ensures a premium, fast playing surface.
