P-ring, painted

P-rings are used to moor and secure buoys and docks on the bottom. The buoy rings are made of steel and painted to provide extra corrosion protection. They are heavy and angular in structure, designed to effectively dig into mud or latch onto rock blocks on the lake or seabed. They have a robust shackle for attaching the buoy line or chain and flanges that are angled to ensure the P-ring remains stable under load.

P-rings are primarily used for anchoring docks and buoys. The P-ring sinks into the mud and rotates with the attachment shackle towards the shore, ensuring it remains stable when mooring a boat. When mooring a floating dock, two or four P-rings are often placed, one at each corner to be moored. Chains or ropes are then anchored diagonally overlapping to the P-rings for better damping and stability.

This buoy ring or P-ring is intended for use in muddy bottoms and has the capability to sink into the mud, making it suitable for mooring both docks and buoys. Unlike a buoy stone that can weigh several tons, P-rings are more manageable. For optimal use, a buoy line that is at least 1.5 times the water depth is recommended. If the area around the buoy ring is rocky, a float can be attached to the line about one meter above the buoy ring to protect the line from wear. This float also acts as a shield for the bottom vegetation.

Applications:

• Buoy mooring
• Dock anchoring
