My boys appreciate to play hockey outside on the blacktop, then they entirely appreciate practicing their slapshots & frequently they go wide! I have gotten a lot of things damaged due to hockey pucks, but my bird feeders never seem to last.
The side of my lake house has a bunch of dents in it from the pucks going too far past the net.
My garage door has sustained the most damage. I have a gorgeous, sizable door with lots of windows, and at first I was replacing the windows with fresh a singles every time the body shattered a single. It got to be messy, costly & time consuming. I couldn’t ban them from the front driveway though. It was too nice being able to see them & think that they were safe. They also appreciate playing hockey… So I thought about doing plastic windows however they looked horrible. I then found a entirely good solution. There are all types of window films out there, you can do colored films to match the outside of your house. You can do sunshine control window films to save energy. I got a shatterproof window film & put it on all my garage a singles, now you entirely need to put your back into smashing those windows. Even if the glass breaks, it spiderwebs & doesn’t shatter. So I just have a cracked window to remove rather than option up a ton of broken glass. The windows are stronger & less likely to split as well. Anytime my sons split a window, the new a single gets that protective window film on it.
