Garage synthetic ice rinks have been popping up throughout the US as an ideal space that can be utilized for an indoor rink. A typical single garage area measures roughly 12' x 20' and allows plenty of room for skaters to pivot and turn and work on their inside and outside edges. For figure skaters it's a great place to work on their spins and skating routine. Hockey players have enough space to hone their deking and stick-handling skills along with strengthening their stride.
