Frame-and-tent structures for hockey arenas
LUXTENT offers modern frame-and-tent structures for hockey rinks that make it possible to play hockey in almost any weather while providing comfortable conditions for players and spectators. These solutions are in demand in cities and communities across the United States, as they are significantly more cost-effective than traditional permanent buildings while still meeting the typical requirements for sports facilities.
Advantages of a Tent Hockey Rink
Modern technologies make it possible to build turnkey indoor or covered hockey rinks faster and more cost-effectively than with conventional construction. A tent-based ice rink offers several key advantages:
- Quick installation on an existing base, often without the need for a massive concrete foundation.
- High frame strength and resistance to snow and wind loads.
- Reliable ice protection from precipitation and temperature fluctuations.
- Year-round use with the installation of ventilation and heating systems.
- Excellent light transmission of the membrane surface, helping reduce artificial lighting costs.
Flexible hockey arenas for different sites
Frame-tent structures for hockey rinks can be engineered to fit within existing sites and local building codes more easily than traditional arenas. They can be installed at community centers, sports schools, private clubs, colleges, or municipal facilities, providing a practical solution for regions that need fast and affordable development of sports infrastructure.
Hockey Arena Construction Cost
We offer clear terms and flexible pricing. The cost of a turnkey indoor hockey rink depends on the size of the structure, its configuration, the selected rink surface, and additional options such as lighting, spectator stands, locker rooms, and support spaces. Each project is tailored to the specific goals and budget of the customer.

Models of hockey arena structures
HangArco
HangArco is a spacious arched structure designed for full-size indoor hockey rinks and ice arenas. The clear-span design with no interior columns creates an unobstructed playing surface that meets standard rink dimensions and safety requirements. This configuration allows for optimal placement of the ice rink, spectator seating, player benches, and technical areas for referees and coaches.
The durable PVC membrane offers excellent light transmission, helping to reduce artificial lighting costs. When needed, the structure can be equipped with modern ventilation and climate control systems to maintain stable ice quality and comfortable conditions for athletes and fans. HangArco is a practical, technology-driven solution for hockey clubs and sports centers that prioritize comfort, reliability, and efficient construction timelines.
HangaTenso
HangaTenso tent hangars are an excellent solution for covered ice rinks. A robust steel frame combined with a durable membrane roof creates reliable protection for the ice surface, shielding it from precipitation, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Thanks to the modular design, the structure can be erected in a short time and adapted to standard hockey rink dimensions or community skating rinks. Inside, there is ample space to accommodate locker rooms, spectator areas, and all necessary equipment, making HangaTenso a practical and cost-effective choice for sports facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hockey Arenas
Yes, we design and build covered hockey rinks on a turnkey basis. The project can include the steel frame, membrane cover, integration zones for ice equipment, as well as layouts for locker rooms, technical areas, and spectator seating. Core stages – from concept and design to installation of the frame and tent structure – are handled by our team, while ice and MEP systems are installed by specialized contractors.
Frame-and-tent structures can accommodate standard hockey rink dimensions (such as 200 × 85 ft / 60 × 30 m) as well as custom layouts. Thanks to the modular system, the arena can be scaled to add training areas, wider safety zones around the boards, or additional support spaces.
A tent-based arena can use:
- professional ice systems for games and tournaments;
- synthetic sports tiles or dry floor for off-season training;
- multi-purpose surfaces for public skating and events.
With the right refrigeration, ventilation, and heating systems (installed by specialized partners), the rink can be configured for year-round operation.
The interior of a frame-and-tent arena can be planned as a complete sports facility, including locker rooms, showers, restrooms, team and referee areas, spectator stands of various capacities, scoreboard locations, and zones for branding and fan engagement. Climate control for spectator areas and support spaces can also be integrated into the overall design and implemented by HVAC and ice-system specialists.
Prefabricated frame-and-tent arenas typically fall under a different category than permanent buildings, which can simplify permitting, but requirements vary by state and municipality. Before construction, we recommend confirming details with local building and zoning authorities. The structures are delivered as prefabricated components and assembled on a prepared site; modular design allows for fast installation without large-scale construction work, carried out by experienced installation crews.
