Abstract
A bracket used to hold boards in the construction of an ice rink is disclosed. The bracket is made of steel, providing increased strength to allow for increased distance between each bracket. The bracket is easy to install and has improved retention into the soil. The bracket of the present invention has a horizontal member connected to a vertical member. The horizontal member prevents tipping in the direction of pressure exerted by the rink. The horizontal member is optionally hingedly connected to the vertical member, allowing the horizontal member to pivot to an open position, or a closed position to fold for off-season storage.
