| Rule A.3 Ditch and Fender | |||
| The fender should be fully constructed in hardwood or softwood, which has been suitably air or kiln dried to reduce the chances of distortion. The back rail shall be one continuous piece of timber and the return ends shall be fixed rigidly at 90° to the back rail. This means that there should be no hinged section within the fender construction. If because of transportation problems, hinges have to be fixed, it should be ensured that a method of fixing the hinged sections in a rigid position is employed once the fenders have been placed on the rink mat. | |||
| You will note that all fender dimensions are now taken from the rink mat surface. This is because most mat manufacturers are now allowing an extension to the mat length to enable the fender to be placed on top of the mat to form the ditch confines. It is perfectly acceptable to fit lifting strips to the return ends of the fender to make them level with the mat surface. | |||
