Constructed from natural white HDPE, the poly ice dam is commonly produced in 1″ thickness and 6″ width to align with standard dasher panel dimensions. Its solid plastic structure offers good insulation against frost and edge thawing while remaining lightweight for faster installation. The system typically requires additional anchors per 8-foot section to ensure secure placement. Suitable for both new rink builds and retrofit projects, poly ice dams provide a cost-effective alternative to steel systems while maintaining durability under regular skate traffic
