i am looking into options for our outdoor hockey rink. it's about a 40x60ft area-does anyone know if having two of these would do the job? thx!

They give off a lot of light but I think two would not be enough. All depends on how much light you are looking for. I think four of these would be much better

We have a 20×30 size fence with 6 inch posts in the ground. I ran a wire down the middle of the pen and pitched the netting over the pen like a tent. I had to raise the wire about 2 feet so I would get a pitched like roof. The leaves just seem to blow right off the netting. We are in the south, so no snow for us. I guess you should try a bigger wooden stake. They also make metal stakes for 5 bucks at your local hardware or tractor store.

I don't use the stakes. I just put a brick on each corner. It's pretty tall so you'll need lots of space in your garage. You can stand close enough so that it will catch mishits except for the worst shanks. I would recommend a really good mat. I got the "4' x 5' Dura-Pro Plus PREMIUM Commercial Golf Mat" from amazon. It's $200 but by far the best you can get. I just recently replaced the catch cloth on the hitting net after 1 year of outdoor use.

one will work just fine. I have read that it is better to use 2x2 as the op system can spread the work which could increase thruput, but the effect in reality is probably negligible, either way is fine.

This.just might work for you . However , you may need to purchase 2 depending on how much square footage space you need it to cover.

Sorry, I'm no help either. I never thought to use it outside. One way to find out though!!! Let us know how it turns out.

I bought our own turf. I prefer a softer surface, and likely the "fat" shots may be a bit masked, but I would rather save my joints from impact and the net return is an awesome way to practice at home. I use it daily.

I've not added anything other than the rubber pad from my old jack. The hockey puck has been a good solution for many for a long time. The newspaper is interesting, but may have limited reusability. I've used 2x4s, 2x6s, etc. and oriented the grains proper to avoid splitting. I also have interest in a better pad, but I haven't made a purchase or researched it yet. A quick look netted a few different designs. Then there are flat and dished/cupped for more general use, like what the hockey puck would do excepth they tend to come either attached to a new pintle or overlap the original pintle/saddle. The other common type has a groove(s) for use with pinch welds with same mounting options. Beyond that, there appear to be other more specialized versions out there. Now that I'm starting to search a little, I'd likely get one for the pinch weld as well as one or two of the flat and dished pads. While shopping for those, may as well plan to get something similar for jack stands!

You can definitely go with the 36 x 36. My A/C is 30 X 33 (straight across) and 37 x 37 (diagonal). The 36 x 36 worked out really good.

I don't think it's not big enough, but why not. "Lasko 3520 20" Cyclone Pivoting Floor Fan" is big enough for outdoor use for your garage use.

Sorry to admit. I haven't installed it. I ordered it last winter and didn't get to it right away and then summer came. You know how it is. Outside taskes took precedence. I will put it in in the fall. Sorry to not be any help.

Hi Mary, thanks for the question. It really depends on the dimensions of the space. In general, rooms (or barns) that are larger than 20' X 15' are better served by two fans rather than one large fan. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to call one of our experts. They can give you all the answers you need over the phone, and they're literally sitting next to their phones right now (yes, even on a Friday)! Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Yes, I tried them outside and the roll better on smooth pavement. Sucks for indoor rinks thou!

Sorry, I am pretty naïve on this. I think I would try the experts at one of the outdoor stores, see what they recommend and then pick it up online. That's what I did. Sorry I am not more wise.

I doubt it'd handle real pucks. It's not an ice hockey net. I'd say the 'green biscuit' street hockey pucks might even be too heavy. We're using the lighter orange plastic pucks and street hockey balls.

It's pretty loud for the size, but a space you could describe as an "arena" might require something more substantial. These are great for a "room" even a "hall". For outdoor use especially, it wouldn't really project very far.

It would probably be overkill. They are left and right aligned. We use them outdoors and the area they cover is large and they are adequate.
