Glulam Hockey Rink Arches Manufactured By Una-Lam

One of our current projects is gluing and fabricating glulam arches for a hockey rink.  These photos show the 10.5" wide arches.  There are also 12" wide arches on this project that will be glued together using a combination lay-up.

The first photo shows our finishing team shop matching the arch knee.  Because of the size of the arch, we have to glue-up the arch knee separately so that it will fit through our planer and so that it can be shipped to the jobsite. 

This next photo shows one arch leg wrapped and ready to be shipped, without the knee, which is now separate.

This final photo shows the arch and its template in our finishing department from another angle.  Notice that the arch is made from treated lumber.  Like swimming pool enclosures, hockey rinks need treated lumber to prevent the possibility of rot and deterioration caused by moisture and condensation.

We will post more photos of this and our other current projects in the weeks to come so stay tuned.
