As a General Contractor on the North Shore, earning a trusted reputation over 25 years of dedicated service. Inspired by the joy of building an outdoor ice rink every winter for my four boys in Glenview, I recognized the potential to bring that same experience to other families. Understanding what makes a great home service business, we created Rinkman—a company dedicated to turning backyards into winter wonderlands for families in our community. Our outdoor ice rinks offer the perfect way to embrace the winter months, bringing friends and family together and transforming the cold season into a time for fun and memories. Your children will always remember the times created.

You will be amazed by how easy and affordable it is to transform your cold, snow-covered backyard into a winter wonderland. Each of our rinks is custom-designed for your unique outdoor space. We are the only backyard rink builder that offers a FREE estimate for your ice rink creation and installation.

Backyard ice rinks are a great way to spend time together with family and friends. This will become an annual tradition. Winter fun and great times with the family will now await just a few steps away from your cozy home. Our ice rinks accommodate all ages, making it an activity that everyone can enjoy. Backyard rinks are perfect for skaters of all ages and skill levels to spend time together, right in your own yard. This will become an anticipated tradition for your neighbors, friends, and family. Adults and children can all enjoy —skating, broomball, pulling sleds—the fun is endless.
